Whew! It’s pretty clear Blake Griffin is one of the stars of the upcoming Comedy Central roast of Alec Baldwin for the jokes he made about Caitlyn Jenner and her daughters.
Now before people start picking apart what he said, keep in mind, Blake and everyone else up on that stage agreed to be part of the roast and in turn, get toe up by one another for the sake of our viewing pleasure.
During Blake’s set, he took aim at Caitlyn’s transition as well as the effect she’s had on her children. “On behalf of the entire NBA and half the rappers on the Billboard charts, I want to thank you for giving your daughters their daddy issues,” Blake told Caitlyn as the crowd roared in laughter and shock.”

Keep in mind, the joke is a little more personal given that Blake and Kendall Jenner once dated for a brief period of time.
Blake appears to be one of the standout stars as his jokes were shared in a trailer for the upcoming roast, which happened over the weekend and is scheduled to be broadcast this Sunday, September 15th.
An array of celebrities will also be roasting Alec Baldwin and the panel of guests including Robert De Niro and Alec Baldwin’s daughter, Ireland Baldwin.
While the jokes are for our enjoyment, they’re also for a good cause. Alec agreed to be the latest target of Comedy Central’s popular celebrity roasts in an effort to raise money for Tony Bennett’s charity, Exploring the Arts, which helps public schools in New York City and Los Angeles, according to Fox News.
Some of the jokes on Alec include having a younger wife and an infamous call to his then 10-year-old daughter.
The rest of the roasting panel includes Ken Jeong, Saturday Night Live’s Chris Redd, Jeff Ross, Nikki Glaser, Adam Carolla and Caroline Rhea.
