Overview
- Roast My Rental debuted Friday, July 24 on HGTV with HBO Max set to add the series the following day, expanding the show’s reach beyond linear broadcast.
- The series pairs comedian Leslie Jones, who tours and sharply critiques notorious rental properties, with designer Jasmine Roth, whose teams complete renovations in 72 hours to make spaces marketable.
- Episodes spotlight extreme and sometimes hazardous problems such as carpeted bathrooms, a tent on a roof, and a damaged mannequin to show how those conditions hurt reviews and bookings.
- Jones says she tempers her jokes when speaking with homeowners so critiques land as constructive, and producers present fixes for owners who often lack the money or know-how to repair major issues.
- Roth shared a candid Instagram 'day in the life' showing she filmed while pregnant, commuted between Park City and Southern California, and received strong fan support for balancing family and the show’s fast, physically demanding production.
