The heat is on as internationally renowned, proudly South African stand-up comic and Roastmaster Trevor Noah, and other local artists turn up the gas mark on The Roast of Steve Hofmeyr at 21:00 on Comedy Central. If the sizzling braai tjopies aren’t hot enough for you then join in on the conversation on The Roast of Steve Hofmeyr on Twitter with this hashtag: #RoastZA.


The bad boy we all love to hate Charlie Sheen makes his comeback in the new series Anger Management at 22:35 on Comedy Central. Unlike his carefree role as Charlie Harper in the hit TV series Two and a Half Men, Sheen now portrays the role of Dr Charlie Goodson, a non-traditional therapist specialising in anger management. 

And if it's star power you’re after then you’ll find exactly that at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards (20:30 on M-Net and M-Net HD) as the who’s who of Hollywood step out in style on the red carpet. Most with high-hopes of nabbing an Emmy and others desperately trying to steer clear of Joan River’s fashion disaster radar so as not to feature on the one show every actor dreads being mentioned on, Fashion Police.

And for some local flavour, with a twist of drama and sprinkling of big personalities don't miss Come Dine With Me South Africa S2 at 20:00 on BBC Entertainment.

What better way to sweeten the relations between family and friends on Heritage Day than with Charly's Cake Angels at 07:40 on the Food Network.
