"James Franco has been named as the next star of Comedy Central&amp;#039;s legendary Roasts. Following in the footsteps of famous faces such as Roseanne Barr, Donald Trump, David Hasselhoff, William Shatner, Pamela Anderson and Joan Rivers, Franco will be the centre of attention in a Roast due to air on Labor Day (September 2).  The roast will be taped in Los Angeles in August, though stars taking part in the event have not yet been announced. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve dreamed about this Roast for as long as I can remember,&amp;quot; Franco said. Meanwhile, Comedy Central exec Kent Alterman joked: &amp;quot;If only James Franco was a more successful, multi-hyphenated, incessant creative risk taker in different media, he&amp;#039;d be the perfect person to roast. Oh well... I suppose we&amp;#039;ll just have to make do.&amp;quot; Comedy Central also announced that it has picked up the exclusive digital rights to Franco&amp;#039;s 90-minute documentary Francophrenia, which follows his experience as an actor on General Hospital. Francophrenia will be available on Comedy Central&amp;#039;s digital and video on demand services after the Comedy Central Roast of James Franco has aired.
