Madison Sinclair Reveals 18 Cut Jokes From Netflix's Kevin Hart Roast
3 articles · Updated · Variety · May 11
Eighteen jokes written by Madison Sinclair were left out of Netflix’s “The Roast of Kevin Hart,” including unused lines targeting Kevin Hart, Shane Gillis, Draymond Green, Lizzo, Tony Hinchcliffe and Chelsea Handler.
Several of the sharpest cuts focused on Hart’s past cheating scandal, his business ventures and his public image, with one joke calling him “the worst cheater” and another saying even his sex tape “had commercial breaks.”
Sinclair was one of the comedy writers hired to supply material for the live Kia Forum event, where the aired roast featured Tom Brady, Dwayne Johnson and Katt Williams trading barbs at Hart.
The omitted material also hit more sensitive subjects — from Gillis’s views on Asians to Hart’s Riyadh Comedy Festival appearance — suggesting some jokes were trimmed for tone or broadcast fit.
With his company failing, was Kevin Hart's roast a calculated brand reset or a desperate gamble?
Was the Hart and Williams truce a genuine reconciliation or just a carefully scripted TV moment?
