Netflix’s 'The Roast of Kevin Hart' has ignited a fierce new culture war debate after a barrage of controversial jokes sparked backlash from across the political spectrum.
The roast - featuring material touching on racism, sexism, ableism, antisemitism, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, George Floyd and more - has been praised by some as proof that “woke culture” is finally losing its grip on comedy, while others argue it crossed multiple lines.
As outrage erupts online, the discussion has reopened old questions about cancel culture, free speech, and whether offensive comedy should have any limits at all.

Piers Morgan is joined by comedian and host of Part of the Problem, Dave Smith, PBD Podcast contributor Adam Sosnick, host of Emily Saves America, Emily Wilson, and author, commentator and YouTuber Jay Dyer to debate.
