Flavor Flav On Comedy Central

That Flavor Flav sure is something else.

With the success of his hit reality TV franchise 'Flavor of Love,' he rose from the ashes of what was a historical hip-hop career -- where he played the jester-esque hypeman of the politically conscience rap outfit Public Enemy -- to become a pop culture icon.

Now he's getting roasted on Comedy Central -- marking a first for the network.

"We only roast the ones we love -- and the world is clearly crazy about this guy. This event will be full of surprises as Flavor Flav is going to experience a whole new kind of love in this Roast," said Comedy Central's Senior Vice President Elizabeth Porter, of the event that will take place this July in Los Angeles.
