Kevin Hart has named the one celebrity he thinks should never be roasted, and he’s prepared to take physical action to stop it.
The comedian performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night, fresh off surviving his own three-hour Netflix roast last month, and got into a conversation about who might be a good future candidate for the treatment.
Hart suggested LeBron James, citing his cultural relevance, before Kimmel made a somewhat more provocative suggestion.
“What about Oprah? Would that be unacceptable?” asked the host.
Hart’s answer left no room for ambiguity.
“It would be like spray painting the Sistine Chapel,” he said. “If I found out Oprah said she was going to do it, I’m driving 100 miles an hour to Oprah’s house. You can’t do this. No shot.”
The pair also discussed how Hart held his own during his own roasting, which featured a particularly brutal lineup of comedians.
He said none of the jokes landed as a real personal blow, with one exception.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, he admitted, caught him by surprise during his set, though Hart didn’t elaborate on what specifically surprised him.
The roast of Kevin Hart currently streaming on Netflix.
