The stars on the panel, which also included Lizzo, Pete Davidson, Chelsea Handler and Jeff Ross, mocked Hart's absentee, drug-addict father at the event, which was part of the Netflix Is a Joke Festival.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Katt Williams, Teyana Taylor and other famous faces took shots at a game Kevin Hart on Sunday night at The Roast of Kevin Hart, which was held at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum as part of the Netflix Is a Joke Festival.
Among the most common topics during the three-hour event, which aired live on Netflix, were Hart’s diminutive height, his film oeuvre (including the Jumanji and Ride Along movies) and his absentee, drug-addict father.
Netflix didn’t reveal the list of guests ahead of time, so there were some surprises during the night. Hart’s frequent co-star Johnson made an appearance late in the show, walking in to lively rock music, very pro wrestling-style, as he joked: “I’ve been waiting an entire life where I could come to a Kevin Hart roast, have fun and just talk shit.”
As Johnson complimented Hart’s wife, Eniko, who was in the audience, Hart playfully admonished Johnson and asked him to stop.
Johnson also brought up the fact that both he and Hart recently lost their dads, noting his famous wrestler dad was built like a “tank” and then showed a photo of his own dad and Hart’s side by side with very different physiques. He also showed a photo of Hart’s dad’s mug shot; Hart joked that whomever agreed to show the photo should be fired.
Johnson got serious for a moment, telling Hart “I love you, brother.” He then quipped he got a tattoo of Kevin on his privates: “It’s a life-size tattoo.” Johnson joked that he would show Eniko later, prompting faux indignation from Hart. “She’s actually already seen it,” Johnson said.
Johnson then took Hart’s seat, imploring him to sit on Johnson’s knee as they shared a toast. The former WWE star asked the crowd if Hart should, but the comic adamantly refused. “To brotherhood, to friendship, and I am always in your corner,” Johnson said, as they each said “I love you” to the other.
Another big surprise was the appearance of comedian Katt Williams, with whom Hart has famously feuded with over the years. Williams slyly said that he only took the gig for the money: “I’m surprised they invited me; that’s how little star power you have. They had to invite your enemies. I said, ‘I hate him.’ They said, ‘Come anyway.’ … I won an Emmy Award but this is gonna be my best acting tonight as I pretend you are a GOAT.” Among Williams’ jokes:
