Kevin Hart Roast Live on Netflix Features Brady Surprise, Katt Williams Truce, Edited Jokes

The live Netflix special pushed limits, prompting post‑show edits.

Overview

  • The roast, which streamed live Sunday from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, ran about three hours and is now available on Netflix.
  • Tom Brady made an unannounced appearance and needled Hart with a Las Vegas "affairs" line that referenced Hart’s publicly acknowledged 2017 cheating scandal.
  • Host Shane Gillis and Chelsea Handler traded sharp barbs, with Gillis invoking her 2010 dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s home and Handler firing back over Gillis’s past anti‑Asian slur controversy.
  • Katt Williams arrived as a surprise, roasted Hart, then shared an onstage embrace as Hart offered to end their long‑running feud in front of the live audience.
  • Post‑show coverage reported that Netflix left written material on the cutting‑room floor, with writer Madison Sinclair citing unused jokes about Lizzo, #MeToo and Hart’s Riyadh Comedy Festival appearance, even as the telecast showcased big cameos from Usher and Dwayne Johnson.
