Yeaaaaah Boyeeeeeeeee! The Stars were out to roast Flavor Flav last night - Comedy Central’s “all in good fun” tease fest focused on the Greatest Hypeman in Hip-Hop History, Public Enemy and Flavor of Love’s, Flavor Flav.
The Flavor Flav Roast will air Sunday, August 12 at 10PM on Comedy Central.

Flavor Flav (born William Jonathan Drayton Jr.) was a founding member of the seminal ’80s political rap group Public Enemy. He is considered to be one of the first ‘hype men’ in hip hop and became famous for his flair on stage; accessorizing with a large clock around his neck and dropping his famous catchphrases. Flav is is best known for his contributions to classic Public Enemy songs like “911 Is a Joke” and “Cold Lampin’ With Flav.”
In recent years, Flavor Flav has become known to a whole new generation of fans as a ubiquitous reality TV star. From his first appearance on VH1’s “The Surreal Life,” Flavor Flav has spawned four more reality shows since: “Strange Love,” “Flavor of Love,” “I Love New York” and “Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School.” It is this long, strange, varied career that will be celebrated Sunday, August 12 at 10pm/9c during the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav.
