Kevin Hart hosted one of the most brutal roast events on Netflix back in 2024, The Roast of Tom Brady from that year. It featured notable names such as Tom Segura, Andrew Schulz, and several others, and quickly ignited waves of chatter and controversy across social media. Former NFL star Tom Brady later even admitted that he may not attend another roast show again. Now, the tide is turning toward none other than the host himself, Hart. 

The Roast of Kevin Hart is gearing up for its release soon, and here is who could grace the stage at the show and where the audience can watch the highly anticipated event.

For the latest roast show on Netflix, famed comedian and actor Kevin Hart will be the one in the hot seat as the target of the evening’s endless joke attacks. And the upcoming roast event will be hosted by Shane Gillis. The comedian and actor is well known for his humor and shows like Gilly & Keeves.

The event has kept most of its details tightly under wraps. However, a few names expected to make an appearance are Jeff Ross, Tom Brady, and Draymond Green. Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, Dwayne Johnson could be among the several major personalities from the film, music, and sports world to make an appearance.

And the guest list remains a mystery, even with the show so close to its premiere.

After much anticipation, The Roast of Kevin Hart Live is all set to premiere on Sunday, May 10, 2026. The show is expected to run for at least two to three hours. The previous event, The Roast of Tom Brady, was nearly three hours long. 

The live event also has a date and time to stream online.

The Roast of Kevin Hart live will take place at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The event will also be available to stream live at 8:00 p.m. ET on Netflix. It can be accessed by all Netflix subscribers, including those on the $8.99/month plan, the $19.99 Standard plan, and the $26.99 Premium plan. After the live stream, it will be available to stream on demand.

The event is part of the 2026 Netflix Is a Joke Fest. And it had garnered major hype for its brutal jokes and hilarious performances. Kevin Hart, who is usually the one roasting others, will this time be the target as friends, fellow comedians, and perhaps even rivals take turns roasting the comedy icon. That is certainly one of the most exciting aspects of the event, with fans eagerly counting down to its live premiere.
