Kevin Hart Declares Oprah Off-Limits for Roasts: “It’s Like Vandalizing the Sistine Chapel”

Comedian Kevin Hart has named Oprah Winfrey as the one person he believes should never face a celebrity roast. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, he insisted that roasting Oprah would be “like spray-painting the Sistine Chapel.” Hart joked that if anyone ever tried to roast her— even with her permission—he would rush in to stop it. He made the comments while reflecting on his own recent Netflix roast, admitting one joke by Dwayne Johnson, which involved an old mugshot of Hart’s late father, surprised him. Despite that moment, Hart said no roast ever truly hurts him and called roasting an essential comedic skill. He praised the format for pushing comedians to deliver sharp, creative performances.
