Netflix Announces Kevin Hart Live Roast With Shane Gillis As Host

Netflix will present a live roast featuring Kevin Hart, following the streaming platform’s successful Tom Brady roast from 2024. Shane Gillis will host the comedy event scheduled for Sunday, May 10th, during the final evening of Netflix Is A Joke Fest. The ceremony will be filmed at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The comedian lineup targeting Hart remains unannounced. The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady became a cultural sensation, remaining in Netflix’s Global Top 10 for three weeks and generating 26 million views. The three-hour special earned an Emmy nomination for variety special. At November’s New York Comedy Festival, comedian Jeff Ross hinted at another roast, stating “We have another festival coming up in May, and I’m pretty confident we’ll have a roast in the spring.” He added, “There are a lot of B-list celebrities who want to get roasted.” (Story URL)
