The final night of the 2026 Netflix Is A Joke Fest went out in a blaze of glory on Sunday, May 10, as The Roast of Kevin Hart streamed live from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Hosted by Shane Gillis, the event saw a ruthless lineup of comedy heavyweights and surprise superstars gather to finally give the “loudest man in comedy” his long-awaited comeuppance.
The roasting panel was a masterclass in sharp-tongued wit, featuring Pete Davidson, Chelsea Handler, Draymond Green, Tony Hinchcliffe, Regina Hall, and Sheryl Underwood. “Roastmaster General” Jeff Ross led the charge alongside Big Jay Oakerson and Na’im Lynn, ensuring no topicâfrom Hartâs height to his career milestonesâwas off-limits.
However, the surprise guest list truly stunned the arena. Former roast subject Tom Brady made a viral appearance to pass the torch of humiliation, joined by global icons Usher, Lizzo, Venus and Serena Williams, and Teyana Taylor. The crowd erupted when Katt Williams took the stage, followed by Kevinâs longtime friend and sparring partner, Dwayne âThe Rockâ Johnson.
The audience was equally packed with A-listers, including Jennifer Lopez, Tiffany Haddish, and Tom Segura, who watched from the front rows. Fittingly for a Motherâs Day broadcast, Hartâs wife Eniko sat front and center to witness the comedic carnage. As the festivalâs grand finale, the roast proved that in the world of high-stakes comedy, nothing is more “honorable” than being publicly dismantled by your peers.
