It’s interesting that Charlie Sheen would show up on Sunday’s Emmy Awards telecast, making nice to Hollywood the night before his Comedy Central roast and the ninth season premiere of his former show, “Two and a Half Men,” are set to debut.
He certainly got off a lot easier Sunday than he did during his the roast, which happened a week or so ago.
Yes, there will be tiger blood when it airs at 9 p.m. Monday, just an hour after the ninth season premiere of his former series, “Two and a Half Men.” TV’s most popular sitcom tries to hold onto that lofty “most-watched” designation with the addition of Ashton Kutcher, who came aboard when Sheen was axed after legal run-ins and a public feud with his boss, executive producer Chuck Lorre. Kutcher will play a lovelorn billionaire who moves in after Sheen’s character reportedly is killed off.
Many of the jokes aimed at Sheen during the roast had to do with Sheen killing himself through substance abuse.
“We all know there’s a good chance Charlie will be dead soon,” Seth MacFarlane said before reading an obituary that not only dissed Sheen, but the recently deceased (and not due to a drug overdose) Amy Winehouse.
Jon Lovitz reportedly joked: “How much blow can Charlie Sheen do? Enough to kill two and a half men.”
According to reports, when Sheen took the stage he still had his “winning” attitude. “You can’t hurt me,” he said. “Hell, even I can’t hurt me.”
Hopefully, after Monday’s roast and Kutcher’s “Men” debut, we can all put the Charlie Sheen crazy train behind us. I never understood the allure of him or his show, neither of which I found all that funny.
