Former talk show host Chelsea Handler was not too happy about the jokes made at her expense during Netflix’s recent “The Roast of Kevin Hart.”
Speaking withDeon Cole on his podcast“Funny Knowing You,” Handler complained about comedians Tony Hinchcliffe and Shane Gillis, who were the more conservative, relatively speaking, jokers on the dais.
“I knew about Tony Hinchcliffe and Shane and their backgrounds,” Handler said. “It’s just everything we know: that they’re racist, that they’re bigots, that they’re sexist,” Handler said. “That they think they’re invincible.”
Handler took particular issue with Gillis making a joke about Hart’s height and the suicide of fellow roaster Sheryl Underwood’s husband. Gillis did say he deliberated about the jokes for a while before the event, even getting permission from Underwood to joke about her deceased husband.

Over 40% of these corporate borrowers are already bleeding cash.
Even JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is sounding the alarm, warning that lenders are doing “dumb things” and the parallels to 2008 are hard to ignore.

“It was gross. I don’t find those jokes to be funny — jokes about lynching Black people. Lynching is not a joke. That’s worse than rape. You’re not joking about rape, are you?...You know you can’t do that, but you can say ‘lynching’?” Handler asked.
