TTThe Roast of Kevin Hart was a high-profile live comedy special that served as the grand finale of the 2026 Netflix Is a Joke Fest. It streamed live globally on Netflix from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Sunday, May 10, 2026. Following the massive success of The Roast of Tom Brady in 2024, Hart—who executive produced that event—finally stepped into the "hot seat" himself. The Show BreakdownHost: The event was hosted by Shane Gillis, who set a "no-holds-barred" tone for the evening. The Vibe: Hart explicitly requested that the roasters be "brutal or nothing." The jokes largely focused on his height, his past personal scandals (including his 2017 Las Vegas affair), and his "box-office bombs." Standout Performance: Sheryl Underwood was widely considered the "winner" of the night, receiving a standing ovation for a ruthless set that critics compared to Nikki Glaser’s legendary performance at the Tom Brady roast. Notable Roasters & GuestsThe dais featured a mix of comedy legends, former targets, and close friends:Katt Williams: Perhaps the most anticipated appearance given his public "beef" with Hart. He delivered one of the night's sharpest sets. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: Hart’s frequent co-star brought a mix of awkwardness and "bro-energy," joking about Hart's family and career.Tom Brady: Returning the favor after Hart roasted him two years prior, though critics noted his delivery was a bit stiff compared to the pros. Regina Hall: Channeling Hart's late mother in a segment that was both touching and hilariously mean. Other Roasters: Included Pete Davidson, Chelsea Handler, Tony Hinchcliffe, and "Roastmaster General" Jeff Ross.
