Kevin Hart: Stars too sensitive for brutal roasts

Comedian Kevin Hart has voiced concerns about the suitability of celebrity roasts for certain stars, suggesting some individuals are too sensitive for the tradition. During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Hart stated that future roast subjects must be brave and significant figures.

When prompted about Oprah Winfrey potentially being a roast target, Hart indicated strong opposition, likening it to defacing a masterpiece. He declared he would urge her against it if she ever considered it.

Hart himself was recently the subject of a lengthy roast at the Netflix Is a Joke Festival, where fellow comedians delivered sharp jokes. He acknowledged that while most jokes were taken in stride as part of the event, a comment from Dwayne Johnson about his deceased father, Henry Robert Witherspoon, caught him off guard and was particularly impactful.
