June 5 (UPI) -- Comedy Central announced Wednesday plans to roast 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live star Alec Baldwin in a TV special this summer.

"They say we're our own worst critic, but I can't find anything to criticize," an animated portrait of Baldwin said in a video tweeted by the network.

Baldwin, 61, is a two-time Emmy winner who lately has been seen lampooning U.S. President Donald Trump on SNL. He is also the current host of the game show Match Game.

The married father of five children appeared in the films Working Girl, Beetlejuice, The Hunt for the Red October, The Departed and the Mission: Impossible franchise.

Previous roast subjects have included Trump, Roseanne Barr, Rob Lowe, William Shatner, Justin Bieber and Pamela Anderson.

The network has not announced which comedians will be lining up to mock Baldwin on the broadcast.
