18 Jokes Cut From ‘The Roast of Kevin Hart,’ From His Sex Tape to Vegas Cheating Scandal
On Sunday night, TV viewers could opt for the latest distressing episode of HBO’s “Euphoria,” or a lighter affair on Netflix in “The Roast of Kevin Hart,” wherein a motley crew of celebs punched down — literally — at the diminutive star live from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
With roastmaster Shane Gillis presiding over the chucklefest, the evening saw retired NFL quarterback and FTX victim Tom Brady get revenge on Hart for the jabs he received during the hugely popular “Roast of Tom Brady” two years ago.
“All right, this won’t take long, because, as you guys know, I’m a busy man,” cracked Brady. “But I do have a few words for you before I return to my affairs in Las Vegas. Oh, wait, I’m talking about affairs in Las Vegas. Was that off? Not supposed to talk about affairs in Vegas? I think I broke another rule. Fuck it. I talked about it.” (Brady was referring to Hart’s admission that he’d cheated on his then-pregnant wife in Vegas back in 2017.)

The concept of mocking public figures dates back to ancient times, but the modern, structured celebrity roast originated as a way for entertainers to pay tribute to one another through insults. The Friars Club started roasting notable members of its showbiz fraternity in 1950 and kept it up for over 60 years; in 1973, Dean Martin started doing Friars-style roast segments on his weekly TV variety show, which led to a series of boozy specials that ran for ten years. The 21st-century roast was born in 2003, when roastmaster Jeff Garlin led a raunchy tribute to Denis Leary that became the most-watched show in Comedy Central history. The network began to produce many more roasts, of everyone from Joan Rivers to Larry the Cable Guy, then got out of the game in 2019, after an installment (hosted by future podcast millionaire Sean Hayes) that aimed the slings and arrows at Alec Baldwin.
