Kevin Hart Says Oprah Winfrey Should Never Be Roasted

Kevin Hart has made it clear: Oprah Winfrey is off-limits for a Netflix roast.

The 46-year-old comedian and actor stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night (June 4) to discuss his recent Netflix roast and weigh in on who might be next to face the comedy treatment.

As the conversation turned to potential future roast subjects, Hart noted that whoever steps up next will need to be "brave enough" and carry "a real big name."

When Kimmel suggested Oprah Winfrey as a possibility, Hart's response was immediate and emphatic. "What about Oprah? Would that be unacceptable?" Kimmel asked.

"That'd be like spray painting the Sistine Chapel," Hart replied. "If I found out that Oprah said she wanted to do it, I'm driving 100 miles per hour to Oprah's house. You cannot do this. No shot."

Hart's own roast came this year, following Tom Brady's Netflix roast in 2024. Behind the scenes, it was also revealed that a music icon had been approached to be a roast subject before Hart ultimately took on the role.
