Now we know why Charlie Sheen has been acting like a bat $hit crazy warlock for months: the guy just really wanted to be the subject of a Comedy Central roast.

He'll have that opportunity on September 19, the network announced today, revealing the actor will be taken apart by MC Jeffrey Ross and a number of other guests on a special that airs that night.

Said Sheen in a statement: “You could say I’ve been providing kindling for this roast for a while. It’s time to light it up. It’s going to be epic.”

It's also going to air on the same night as the season premiere of Two and a Half Men. Sources say Sheen's Charlie Harper will be killed off that CBS sitcom. Thank goodness for the DVR, huh?
