Larsen promoted at Comedy Central

Comedy Central has bumped up Jonas Larsen to senior VP of talent specials. Former VP of specials will be responsible for talent development and relations, as well as overseeing the roast and stand-up specials, as well as "Night of Too Many Stars." "Jonas steered the wild tiger, also known as the Charlie Sheen roast, with a sure hand by holding on to its tail. For that alone, he deserves this promotion," said Kent Alterman, head of original programming and production and to whom Larsen reports.
