Roasting the internet

Comedy Central has ordered a new comedy entertainment show Iain Stirling’s Roast The Internet.

Described as being 'all about the very worst things on the internet (that we're legally able to talk about on broadcast television)', every episode will feature the comedian and Love Island voiceover star talking about social clips, posts and trends, with three famous faces – comedians, online celebrities and TV personalities. 

The broadcaster says: 'With outrageous clips, funny chat and top comedy performances, Iain and his guests will be taking the internet down a peg or two, while all also secretly hoping their best bits will go viral. '

Stirling said: 'I’m so excited to be involved in this project which allows me to collaborate with some of my favourite people in TV (and the internet) and lets me doom-scroll TikTok while calling it work.'

Luke Hales, from programme-makers MTV Entertainment Studios, added: 'The internet is a chaotic, ridiculous place, and who better to make sense of it all for us than Iain Stirling? With his unique comedy voice at the heart of the show and a brilliant line-up of guests, this series is packed with laughs – a real treat for our audiences on Comedy Central UK.'

Eight hour-long episodes will be filmed in the spring and air later this year on Comedy Central UK.
