On the morning after Hollywood’s big night, TODAY will broadcast an interview with actor Charlie Sheen, his first television sit-down since his hit series was discontinued for the season.
Production on the actor’s hit sitcom, “Two and a Half Men,” was brought to a standstill after Sheen took to the airwaves and unleashed an anger-fuled rant about the program and his bosses.
In the interview, Sheen says he is clean, and wants to go back to work, but has one big demand.
Jeff Rossen: "You're angry?"
Charlie Sheen: "Well I'm not angry, I'm passionate. It's like everybody thinks I should be begging for my job back and I'm just gonna forewarn them that it's everybody else that's going to be begging me for their job back."
Jeff Rossen: "Didn't CBS have a right to shut your show down? They're reading about you partying at all hours of the night, taking drugs, abusing alcohol. It's their show."
Sheen: "Epic. Epic behavior. No, because after reading about that, then they observe a guy hitting every mark, nailing every line, every joke, with a full house screaming."
Tune in to TODAY tomorrow morning for more from NBC's Jeff Rossen’s conversation.
