00:01Extremely, extremely excited.
00:03Overprepared should be the answer here.
00:06Excited to see what they do, more excited to see what I do.
00:10I hope they all do.
00:11That's the point of the roast, right?
00:13I mean, I think I'm the perfect person to sit in a seat.
00:16I can take a joke, I love a good joke, but I can also give a good joke.
00:20So the purpose of the roast is to be hard-hitting.
00:22This is hard-hitting comedy tonight.
00:24We want to give people stuff to laugh at, stuff to remember.
00:27More importantly, we want to put on an amazing production.
00:29That's what this will be.
00:30Cheryl Underwood.
00:32I'm excited about that.
00:33I'm excited to see what she brings.
00:35Also, Chelsea.
00:36Chelsea can be really, really mean.
00:39So I can't wait to see what she do with that, too.
00:41Well, I'm excited about it.
00:43You know, Kevin's always talking shit, so it's time for somebody to shit on Kevin,
00:47you know, in a fun, jovial way.
00:49I think he been praying.
00:50I think he been working out in the gym.
00:52I think he probably been having his boys talk real bad to him
00:56so he can take that in and, like, absorb it and not, like, lose his temper.
00:59But he's a good sport.
01:00He knows how to play.
01:01I think I'm really ready.
01:03I've been spending a lot of time with him, more than I would like.
01:06And it's appealing if you don't know him.
01:09But, like, I can still hear him talking right now, and we're not even talking to each other.
01:12So I'm ready to, like, have him not call me for about two years.
01:16And I think after this roast tonight, I'll be able to take a break from our relationship.
01:20Well, a lot of people don't know that he's started on Chelsea lately.
01:23So I'm gonna remind people of that and also remind his dumb ass about it.
01:27You know what I mean?
01:28Yeah.
01:29I mean, you got heavy hitters.
01:31He's gonna get eviscerated.
01:33It's gonna be a bloodbath.
01:34You got Jeff Ra, Shane Gillis.
01:37Nikki's here, right, Glazer?
01:39There's some surprises coming out, too, so I know it's gonna be a bloodbath.
01:43And it's live, no censorship, can't press the pause button.
01:49It's gonna be raw.
01:51We'll see, but he's getting, like, bukkake-ed on.
01:55I told him, I saw him at Ted Sarandos' house.
01:58I go, I'm gonna pray for you.
01:59He's like, nah, nah, you don't gotta pray for me.
02:01You need to pray for them.
02:02I go, all right, dawg.
02:05You got, like, the 1970s Oakland Raiders about to trample you.
02:09Well, brother Tony Hinchcliffe is here, brother Shane Gillis.
02:13You know, we do a lot of work out in Austin, Texas.
02:16Can't wait to see what Ms. Cheryl Underwood has to say.
02:20I used to watch her on Def Comedy Jam and different videos on YouTube,
02:26so I'm excited to see what goes down tonight.
02:30Oh, well, I'm excited to see Kevin get roasted.
02:33You know, he's always the guy that's talking about everyone else.
02:35I'm also excited to roast him, so that's why I'm here.
02:39Jokes, funny, like, seeing, like, these hilarious people just destroy each other.
02:44It's always fun.
02:45It's the funniest people doing what they do best.
02:48It's gonna be, you know, I also wanted to, I like when there's, like, harsh stuff but with love.
02:55So you want them to tear them down but with love.
02:58But that's, it's always fun to watch.
02:59I got jokes on deck.
03:00I got jokes ready.
03:01I mean, there's several places that he can move if he leaves Hollywood, someone's testicles, you know.
03:06Oh, everybody on this day.
03:08Shane is a good friend of mine, so this opportunity for him, and I know he's gonna kill it.
03:13He's so funny.
03:15Jeff, you know, I have so many friends that are up on this day, so I'm so excited.
03:18People who wrote on it that I'm excited for.
03:20So it's a, there's a good sense of family to it that I like.
03:23Oh, very excited.
03:25Kevin's my oldest friend in comedy.
03:27And beyond that, I probably don't belong here.
03:29So this is a big opportunity for me.
03:32And it's, uh, I couldn't be with a better person to do it with.
03:35Now, now, I don't even know if he has my number anymore, to be honest.
03:38So, luck, maybe I'm lucky in that regard.
03:40But, um, now it seems like nothing was off limits and it's at, uh, full steam ahead.
03:44So I think everybody's going for it.
03:45It's gonna be a fun one.
03:46Well, I'm looking forward to, like, everybody doing their thing or whatever.
03:51I, uh, personally was hosting, um, the fires, the event for the fires.
03:57Uh, uh, doing the show for the people at Altadena.
04:00So a lot of people are coming to the show, uh, working on their stuff.
04:05And it's about to be a showdown.
04:10So I'm looking forward to seeing everybody do their thing tonight, man.
04:14It's, it's gonna be a good time.
04:16I'm ready for some laughs.
04:17What's up, baby?
04:19Yeah, ready for some laughs.
04:20Yeah.
04:21Well, first of all, this is, uh, this is really what he does.
04:26This is almost like lowering the rim in an NBA game.
04:31I'm, uh, this is about to be a cakewalk for him.
04:35I mean, this is what he does.
04:37He loves roasting people.
04:39And so we are on his platform.
04:42So this is about to be exciting.
04:44And, and that he's last.
04:46I can't wait to see what he's gonna do.
04:48Well, there's a bunch of surprises.
04:50Some I know about.
04:51Some I don't.
04:52So to me, it's, but the real finale to me is Kevin's rebuttal at the end.
04:58Because he's been working really hard.
05:01And, and he's gonna have earned a great rebuttal.
05:04A vicious rebuttal.
05:05So I think we're gonna see a crazy side of Kevin today.
05:08I'm like, oddly zen.
05:10I feel very prepared.
05:12I've been thinking about Kevin for a month straight.
05:14It's like method roasting.
05:15I'm roasting him from the inside out.
05:18Tear him apart.
05:19Put him back together again.
05:21Yeah.
05:21Oh my God.
05:22He's been doing the opposite.
05:23He's a psycho.
05:24He's like, bring it.
05:25I can take it.
05:26Blah, blah, blah.
05:27So it made me like, and he was so mean to me last time.
05:31That I'm coming for revenge.
05:32I've known Kevin over 20 years.
05:34Uh, first time I worked with him.
05:36God, my, uh, my agent called me up.
05:37He said, listen, man, I got this guy.
05:39He's working at a comedy special.
05:40Can he crash your show?
05:42I said, sure.
05:43And that was the first time I met Kevin in San Francisco
05:46at the punchline.
05:47I saw him.
05:48He was incredible.
05:49And after that, he took over comedy.
05:51So you're welcome, Kevin.
05:52It was my, it was me giving you that stage that made,
05:55made that happen.
05:56What I'm most excited to see is Kevin's reaction.
05:59I'm like really looking forward to seeing what actually
06:01gets through to him.
06:02I feel like people have made jokes about Kevin for so long
06:05that I want to see what actually gets to him.
06:07That's going to be really, really fun.
06:08He's very self-aware.
06:11He wrote this incredible audio book a few years ago
06:13called Monsters.
06:14And he talks about all the monsters inside of him.
06:17And it's like, he's a deep guy.
06:18So I'm excited to see what cuts him deep.
06:21Jeff Ross.
06:22I want to see Jeff Ross take the stage.
06:24Cause he's a master at it.
06:26He's done so many different roasts.
06:28Um, at this point, uh, that's his blood type.
06:31Uh, he eats and breathes it.
06:33So I want to see Jeff Ross.
06:34And if I think I caught from the corner of my eye,
06:37somebody looks like butter bean.
06:39Is that Jeff Ross over there?
06:40That is Jeff Ross over there.
06:42Jeff Ross.
06:43He look like butter bean.
06:45Jeff Ross look like a grown newborn.
06:47It's crazy.
06:48I love Jeff Ross.
06:49That's my guy.
06:49It's been interesting.
06:51You know, just the process of it all coming together,
06:55practicing it, the delivery, trying to understand the buildups,
07:00the punchlines.
07:01It's a different part.
07:02It's a different ballpark, uh, different court, if you will.
07:05Um, but I like the big stage.
07:08I'm a bit nervous, but I'll be all right.
07:10He's very arrogant.
07:13He pretends to be this, you know, nice guy.
07:16He's nice, but he's just really arrogant.
07:18And I'll give him a little bit of that tonight.
07:20Kevin asked me to be on his podcast.
07:22And when you get asked by a man of industry to be on his podcast,
07:24you have to do it.
07:25I don't know if you know this, but Kevin Hart is actually one of the first VC banks as a
07:29comedian.
07:30He's basically Blackstone and Blackrock.
07:32He's an enterprise.
07:33Mm-hmm.
07:34So, yeah, when you get called by Kevin, it's like getting a call from the bank.
07:37You gotta do it.
