Aziz Ansari and Andy Samberg added to The Comedy Central Roast of James Franco because the more’s the merrier when it comes to a James Franco roast.
Comedy Central has decided not to renew the series. The second half of season 7, beginning June 19th, will be its last.
Comedy Central’s EVP of Programming Dave Bernath views the network’s decision as “the natural end” to the show’s improbable comeback. “That’s a helluva run that few shows achieve, and especially given the fact that it came back to life, it’s really an amazing story,” he says. “I’m more thankful and feel a sense of gratitude toward the whole process — and that we found a way to keep going for 52 more episodes — than I really am even thinking about the ending. It’s a blessing that it came back and lasted so long.”
