More importantly, though, Kevin Hart would like to remind you that none of this is his business (even if, in a strictly financial sense, it absolutely was his business).

if you don’t like offensive jokes, don’t watch a roast
Jesus, people are stupid
This wasn’t a roast of George Floyd. No reason for a fucking dead man who was murdered by police to be catching strays there.
Fuck Kevin Hart for going along with this shit, fuck whoever booked that Nazi bastard for the show (who was probably executive producer Kevin Hart), and of course, fuck the Nazi bastard.
life’s too short to be mad at jokes, or anything for that matter.
you go ahead and stay angry. I’ll keep enjoying my life
you cant be serious
For someone who’s so above this and going to keep enjoying your life, you’re sure spending a lot of time in this thread whining about what other people have to say about it.
I enjoy debate.
like charlie kirk or ben shapiro.
…well…just ben shapiro now…but you know what i mean.
That’s basically what Kevin said, but the article is pointing out that he was executive producer and could have just not booked the racist Kill Tony guy, or set guardrails up before hand (which they do for roasts).
Why would you hire the guy who performed at a Trump rally where he called Puerto Rico an Island Of Garbage? Why would you ever give that guy a single dime or second of screen time in general, let alone on a show you are producing, featuring yourself, with you name on that, to be forever associated with you? Kevin didn’t say the words, and almost certainly didn’t personally approve the joke ahead of time, if only because that’s how roasts work. But he knew, or should have known, exactly who he booked and what that entailed.
You don’t get to say, “Yeah, I invited a controversial comedian whose primary claim to fame was performing at a rally for the far right candidate, now president, where he made blatant anti-immigrant and racist remarks about Latino, black and Jewish people, but how can I be held responsible when that guy said similar racist stuff at my event!?” Like inviting Jeffrey Dahmer to the potluck and being shocked at the dish he brings. Kevin, you’re either a complete moron, or wanted the controversy. So actually, you’re a moron either way.
then whoever wrote the article shouldn’t watch roasts.
Not the point of the article. If you want to be “of the culture” like Kevin says he is, then you don’t invite a klansman to the cookout.
Also, if it was about jokes, why didn’t Kevin call out Tony for being a sad racist hack who moved to Austin so he could get more of Rogan’s fungal dick?

I think Tony being Rogan’s cabin boy was the subject of a few jokes aimed his way by the other performers.
Key issue I have is that it was the “other” comedians. What Tony said required a response and what he said on The Breakfast Club was not it.
You’re the type of guy to applaud alone in your appartment when you hear Musk say “we’re going to make comedy legal again”.
nah I don’t applaud anything that man says or does
Pretty sure that George Floyd’s brother didn’t have to watch the roast to be effected by it. But fuck him, I guess. ¯\(ツ)/¯
They were barely jokes and not funny.
I’m sorry you felt that way
I’m sorry you have poor taste.
don’t be, I’m happy
