Best & Worst Celebrity Roasts Ever: Bob Saget, Pamela Anderson, Justin Bieber & More
Netflix’s live roast of Kevin Hart follows a roundup of TV’s best and worst celebrity roasts, with archival clips and online consensus shaping the picks.
Netflix airs The Roast of Kevin Hart live on Sunday, May 10 at 8/7c, with the comedian facing sharp jabs from celebrity guests after years of delivering put-downs at other roasts.
Dean Martin hosted a series of celebrity roasts on NBC between 1974 and 1984, where A-listers like Bob Hope and Muhammad Ali honored stars including Frank Sinatra and Martin himself.
Critics rank Justin Bieber's 2015 Comedy Central roast among the Best, while Netflix's roasts of Tom Brady in 2024 and the Jonas Brothers in 2021 are considered among the Worst.
Roast humor often involves sharp jabs; comedian Greg Giraldo joked about vegetarians, while Comedy Central roasts featuring Bob Saget and Charlie Sheen included savage burns about the Olsen twins and John Stamos.
Expect long set-ups and short punchlines when Kevin Hart takes the stage, continuing a tradition honored by comedy legends like George Burns who appeared on Dean Martin's historic NBC roasts.
