Trump donating $2M paycheck from Comedy Central roast

Insulting Donald Trump will really pay off for one charity.

The mega-mogul's entire paycheck for the "Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump" will go to one very lucky nonprofit organization, according to TMZ.com.

The gossip site reported that Trump initially opposed participating in the event - which was held at the Hammerstein Ballroom Wednesday and hosted by "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane - until he found out he'd be paid $2 million.

All the money will reportedly go to an as-yet-unnamed charity.

Among the fellow celebrities who made appearances at the roast were Larry King, "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant Marlee Matlin and – inexplicably – Mike (The Situation) Sorrentino of "Jersey Shore."

But according to comedienne Lisa Lampanelli, The Situation garnered more boos than laughs.

"What I thought the greatest thing was when The Situation tanked really bad," she told TMZ. "He came up to us and he said, 'That was good, right?' "

"I should go through life that delusional," Lampanelli joked. "I really wish I loved myself that much."

The roast will air March 15 on Comedy Central.

Even Snoop Dogg thought Trump was highly worthy of some backhanded compliments. (Kovac/WireImage)
