The king of comedy chaos, Kevin Hart, just struck the match… and now he’s about to feel the heat in a major way.
Netflix has officially announced that Hart will be the next victim—uh, guest of honor—at a LIVE roast event during the epic finale of Netflix Is A Joke Fest. And yes, this is going down in real time, so anything can (and absolutely will) happen.
Taking over hosting duties for the night is none other than Shane Gillis, who’s sure to keep the jokes flying fast and the burns even faster. If you know anything about roast culture, you already know: nobody is safe.
The event will be broadcast straight from the iconic Kia Forum in Los Angeles, bringing a packed house and an even bigger lineup of comedians ready to absolutely obliterate Hart in the funniest way possible.
Behind the scenes, this comedy spectacle is stacked with heavy hitters, including Jeff Ross—aka the Roastmaster General himself—alongside Casey Patterson, Amy Zvi, Hart, and Dave Becky as executive producers. Translation: this roast is going to pull zero punches.
And if you’re wondering just how big this could be, let’s talk receipts. The Roast of Tom Brady was a massive hit, spending three weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10, cracking the Top 10 in 49 countries, and racking up over 26 million views. So yeah… expectations are sky-high.
Mark your calendars, because the roast goes LIVE on Netflix on Sunday, May 10, 2026—and if history tells us anything, it’s that Kevin Hart is about to get hilariously, brutally, and gloriously destroyed.
