Kevin Hart Defends Roast Controversy

Kevin Hart’s controversial Netflix roast show “Funny AF” is returning for Season 2 — despite backlash over a George Floyd joke that sparked outrage and even drew criticism from Floyd’s family. Hart defended the roast format on “The Breakfast Club,” saying edgy humor is part of the game and his role was to produce a hit, not censor comedians. The show’s first season stayed in Netflix’s Top 10 for weeks and racked up over a billion views, proving controversy hasn’t hurt Hart’s reach. Even as Tony Hinchcliffe faced backlash, Netflix greenlit his own specials — including “Kill Tony” — showing the platform’s support. Season 2 drops in 2027 with live episodes and real-time audience voting to crown the winner. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
