The roast of Kevin Hart has hit major streaming milestones just a week after its release, officially crowned Netflix’s most-watched TV title of the week.
The comedy special garnered an impressive 13.5 million views in the 11-17 viewing window. May.
Audiences flocked to the streaming platform to watch the event, which originally aired as a live stream during the third annual Netflix is a joke festivalwhich cements its status as a huge hit for the streamer.
The blockbuster numbers put the comedian’s special in direct competition with Netflix’s former heavy hitter, The roast of Tom Bradywhich was sent in 2024.
While Hart managed to dominate the weekly charts, his special drew a slightly smaller overall audience than the former NFL star’s event.
Brady Roast initially debuted with 2 million views on its first night alone before going on to reach 13.8 million views during its first full week of availability.
When comparing the full seven days of tracking for both high-profile comedy specials, Hart’s total audience represents a slight two percent drop compared to the record-breaking numbers Brady set last year.
Despite falling just short of the record high, pulling in over 13 million views in a single week is an undeniable triumph for both Kevin Hart and Netflix, proving that the public’s appetite for celebrity roasts is still incredibly high.
