Khanyi Mbau has taken the world by storm after she was announced as the first black female to be roasted on Comedy Central.
The media personality, who was a panelist in the 2014 roast with Kenny Kunene, makes a comeback as the first black female to be roasted.
However, Comedy Central welcomed Khanyi as the all-new Roastee of The Roast and she is so excited.
“To be the first black female to be roasted on Comedy Central in the world feels amazing. Do you know how many balls we’ve had on this platform? It was getting rather sweaty. Let’s put some tits on this and make it bounce. Right?”
Describing the roast as a calling, Khanyi said she was not scared of being the punching bag on the night but rather cared more about how she looked on the night of the event set to air on Comedy Central Africa in August 2022.
“You have to answer. And I’ve decided to answer to the spirits, demons, or whatever it is that will be sitting on that panel, calling me, thinking they’re going to roast me.”
Speaking of the panelists still to be announced, Khanyi said she hoped her former friend Somizi Mhlongo and actress Pearl Thusi, who was Comedy Central’s first female roast master in Africa, would not be included in her roast.
“I know he’s had his own, I wouldn’t want to see Somizi on it, because I know he’s pissed off at me at the moment. He’s not talking to me for some odd reason, so I would not like to see him because he’d be really upset with me.
“Who else? I wouldn’t want to see Pearl on it too, because she doesn’t take jokes really nicely. But I love her. She’s a darling. But I’ve got a feeling I’ll see [her.] I can smell MacG or is that his gin I smell? But I’ve got a feeling that MacG is going to be on this …”
