Jake Urbanski is returning to Viacom as head of Comedy Central scripted publicity, which places him at the vice president level there. The Netflix and NBC News alum will report to Steve Albani from the cable channel’s Hollywood offices.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Jake back into the fold.,” Albani, an SVP, said. “He possesses an incredibly strategic mind and the institutional knowledge he holds from his prior time with Viacom, plus the experience he gained at NBC and Netflix make him the perfect person to help lead Comedy Central into the future. So excited for his Netflix NDA to lapse.”

Urbanski led Netflix’s unscripted and stand-up publicity for a brief time. Before that he was communications director at NBC News, where he focused on the Lester Holt-anchored “NBC Nightly News.”

Whether it be jokes about his follically challenged head, his so-so music career or his aging-action-hero persona, Bruce Willis took it like a man when he became the latest target of a Comedy Central roast.

“I look at our marriage like 'The Sixth Sense.' You were dead the whole time.” -- ex-wife Demi Moore

"Hollywood wouldn’t be Hollywood if they didn’t reward a man for aging into mediocrity." ... AND ... “On 'Moonlighting,' I played a former model, which I was, and Bruce played an asshole, which he is." -- "Moonlighting" co-star Cybill Shepherd

“Bruce and I live in the same town of Bedford. He has a beautiful house and the interior design is amazing. He wanted everything inside to look mid-century modern, except his new wife.” -- Martha Stewart

“This is a real personal moment for me, to be here roasting my dead cousin’s second-favorite action star. You had an amazing action film career until Jason Statham started balding.” -- Nikki Glaser

"If you wanted to be humiliated, clearly we both know you could’ve just released another singing album.” -- Kevin Pollak

“Comedy Central roasts only the best people. Bruce, Donald Trump, that guy from 'Baywatch.'” -- Dom Irrera

“I can’t wait to see your next project, 'Die Hard 6: Natural Causes.'” -- Jeff Ross

"You keep making these bomb movies. But guess what? So does Kim Jong Un. But at least Kim is smart enough not to release his." -- Dennis Rodman

And, of course, Willis punched back: “Joseph played a younger me in 'Looper.' He couldn’t pull it off. There is one actor who successfully played me. It was Demi Moore.”

“Cybill, it’s so great to be back on TV with you, honey, on another show starring me.” -- Bruce Willis
