Episode Details

Kevin Hart’s Netflix roast sparked outrage after jokes deemed racist—especially one about George Floyd—ignited a firestorm. Hart defended himself on The Breakfast Club, arguing roasts are a different comedic space where racial humor is common, and he didn’t deliver those specific lines. He insisted the blame should fall on the comedians who made them, like Tony Hinchcliffe, not him. Hart even reached out to George Floyd’s friend Stephen Jackson, showing his attempt to engage with the community. Despite backlash, the roast performed well on streaming, fueling debate over whether comedy can shield offensive content. Hart’s stance: he’s not responsible for what others said on stage, and the focus should be on those who delivered the jokes.
