Jeff Ross Teases Another Netflix Roast: ‘It’s Amazing How Many People Want to Do It’
Comedy fans, rejoice! Jeff Ross, the legendary “Roastmaster General,” has hinted at another star-studded Netflix roast in the works. Known for his razor-sharp wit, Ross told Variety, “It’s amazing how many people want to do it,” signaling a booming demand for the no-holds-barred comedy format.
The tease follows Netflix’s smash hit The Roast of Tom Brady, which proved audiences still crave celebrity roasts. With Ross executive-producing, the special blended brutal humor and A-list talent—so who’s next in the crosshairs?
Netflix’s Roast Revival: From Niche to Mainstream
Netflix has revitalized the roast format, transforming it into must-watch entertainment. From Justin Bieber (2015) to Bruce Willis (2018) and Tom Brady (2024), these specials draw massive viewership by mixing old-school comedy with modern celebrity culture.
Ross, a veteran of Comedy Central roasts (Donald Trump, anyone?), has been instrumental in bringing the format to streaming. “People used to be scared of roasts,” he said. “Now, everyone from A-listers to athletes is lining up. It’s like a badge of honor.”
Top 5 Contenders for the Next Netflix Roast
Ross’s tease has sparked fan theories. Here are the most likely targets:
-
Elon Musk – The billionaire’s SNL stint proved he can take a joke. A roast could tackle Twitter/X, Tesla, and even his Mars dreams.
-
Kim Kardashian – The reality queen’s life is roast material gold, from headline-making drama to KUWTK antics.
-
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – WWE legends and Hollywood pals could hilariously mock his “Franchise Viagra” rep.
-
Taylor Swift – Her exes, reinventions, and fanbase make her a prime (if unlikely) candidate.
-
MrBeast or KSI – Digital creators thrive on attention—imagine a chaotic YouTube-themed roast.
Why Roasts Are Bigger Than Ever
Roasts thrive on unpredictability: no topic is off-limits, and the best jabs balance brutality with love. For stars, it’s a chance to show humility; for fans, it’s uncensored fun.
Ross stressed the key is respect: “It’s about celebrating someone in the most absurd way possible.”
When’s the Next Roast?
While no date is confirmed, insiders speculate late 2024 or early 2025. With Netflix’s track record, the next target better brace for impact.
