'Roast of Kevin Hart' Lineup: Celebrity Roasters & Guests, Revealed
Hart extended an olive branch onstage after years of barbs, and the comedians ended the night with a hug during the live roast.
- On Sunday, May 10, 2026, Kevin Hart and Katt Williams ended their long-standing public feud during the live broadcast of Netflix's 'The Roast of Kevin Hart' at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
- Relations between the pair had been rocky since at least 2016, and tensions escalated in 2024 when Williams alleged Hart was an industry 'plant' during a viral 'Club Shay Shay' appearance.
- Hart extended 'an olive branch of peace' to Williams on live television, and the two comedians embraced onstage to a standing ovation from the audience.
- Although Williams had joked he was 'surprised' to be invited given their history, the appearance transformed from a standard roasting session into a public reconciliation.
- Hart later joked his reconciliation performance was 'some of the best' acting of his career, while Netflix expects viewership numbers for the special to be announced in coming days.
