Is the real star of the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen actually actress Kate Walsh? She surprised everyone as she threw out off-color jokes from the podium. Is she unleashing her raunchy side?
"I do have a little bit of raunch," Walsh said. "I'm half-Irish after all. So come on."
It might be a big shock for fans of her show to see her R-rated roast session, Walsh admitted. (which will be broadcast Sept. 19 at 10 p.m. ET/PT). "Viewer discretion advised. I'd say, take it easy everybody, it's a little bit of a bumpy ride," Walsh said, before using words like "filthy," "naughty" and "dirty" to describe the evening dedicated to bashing Sheen. Words we are not used to hearing from Kate's lips.
Throughout the Saturday night roast, roastmaster Seth MacFarlane continually asked Walsh, "What are you doing here?" from the stage. Onstage she explained that she was using her television medical expertise to analyze the outrageous personalities on the stage -- from Sheen to William Shatner to Mike Tyson.
Walsh admitted that when she agreed to do the gig she had at least one sleepless night. "I was like, 'Oh my God, what am I doing," she said. "I have never done a roast before." But at the end, she was all smiles backstage. "No regrets," said Walsh. "You never want to rest on your laurels. You want to keep doing things that terrify you."
Among those roasting the actor were Seth MacFarlane, Jeffrey Ross, William Shatner, Patrice O'Neal, Mike Tyson, Kate Walsh, Steve-O and Jon Lovitz. Slash ap.
