Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro and Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner have joined the Comedy Central Roast of Alec Baldwin.

The clip shows Baldwin making pre-taped reactions as the names show on the screen. De Niro, Jenner, Blake Griffin, Joel McHale, Debra Messing, Chris Redd and Jeff Ross will join roastmaster Sean Hayes on stage.

"If you like lists of celebrities, you're in luck. Here's who's burning Alec Baldwin this September. #BaldwinRoast," the caption reads.
