The Roast of Kevin Hart Is Almost Here — and He’s Finally on the Receiving End

Kevin’s getting cooked live on Netflix.


May 5, 2026

It’s almost time for the roast master to become the roasted. After years of dominating stages and box offices with his comedy, Kevin Hart — who hosted The Roast of Tom Brady back in 2024 and is fresh off discovering the next great comedian on Funny AF with Kevin Hart — will find his feet being held to the fire, surrendering the mic to a roomful of flamethrowers for The Roast of Kevin Hart.

Hosted by Shane Gillis, who’s no stranger to walking the tightrope between brutal and hilarious, this live comedy spectacle is sure to be a full-blown cultural moment brimming with hard-hitting jokes. Given Hart’s history of relentlessly roasting his peers, it’s safe to say the comedians partaking in the event will relish the opportunity to dish it right back to him in a no-holds-barred war of words.
