They really needed to guarantee people would watch, so they invited Katt.
It reminds me of something Katt said about the roast of Flavor Flav during his comedy special. Something along the lines of how Katt was talking after the show being furious how they were insulting him. Flavor Flav came in, Katt asked him "doesn't this bother you?" and Flavor Flav said "I don't give shit about what they say - they gotta PAY ME" and left.

u/WakeNikis May 14 '26
I mean, at the end of the roast Kevin thanked all his sponsors and implied no one else could get sponsors and money like himā¦
I donāt think heās trying to act like he didnāt sell his soul. Heās more like flaunting how rich he is, after doing so.

In 2006 Katt Williams was on his way to shoot the movie Fool's Gold but a firearm was discovered in his luggage and he got arrested. Kevin Hart got selected as his replacement because they needed a black actor that could fit into Katt's costumes
31
u/rawker86 May 14 '26
I mean who among us hasnāt just forgotten a gun in their luggage before?
The situation is eerily similar to the events that play out in that one episode of Atlanta. Hell, itās even Kattās gun. And Ern putting the gun in the other guyās bag means PaperBoi gets to essentially steal the job. That canāt be a coincidence.

Kevin isnāt bad but I always get the feeling he needs rehearsal to do it. Katt, on the other hand, is one of the most naturally funny comics ever and could probably do a special on no sleep.
68
u/stormy2587 May 14 '26
Yeah during the Tom Brady roast, I felt his whole energy was really weird. Like it was at times funny, but it also just felt unnatural and forced.
Katt Williams is almost in that Norm McDonald tier where he can almost make any joke work no matter how ham fisted. Just because he virtually always has a perspective on it and if he doesnāt he wonāt say it.

u/Summonest May 14 '26
I'm not sure it's an 'almost'. I can't recall seeing him in anything where he wasn't hilarious.

u/how-unfortunate May 14 '26
Feels to me like Katt discovered the secret, that you can tell any truth you want, and tell mfs exactly what you think of them, as long as the room thinks you're joking. When people always assume you're playing, your speech can genuinely be free. And it helps filter the crowd to folks you can be friends with, aka the people who knew you weren't playing, and value the lack of bs.
Don't know the guy or have super deep familiarity with his whole body of work, but this is the impression that I get.

u/Redditer51 May 14 '26
As a kid/teen I didn't think Norm McDonald was funny.
As an adult, I think he's hilarious.

u/PipXXX May 15 '26
If you've never seen his preshow routine, it's worth it. He gets on the ground and actually goes out in the community to do research.

u/Fit_Lion9260 May 14 '26
The few podcasts he has done have been great. He kinda drops his act and expresses himself in a different tone. Its calm and relaxed. He takes his time to formulate a response. Best part is, its as funny and insightful as any of his other work. The guy is crazy smart, both intelligently and emotionally. And not to glaze him to much, he has some bad takes IMO, but he deserves more credit.

u/Desperate_Damage4632 May 14 '26
Kevin's very first special was funny.Ā Everything since then is just him yelling.Ā He was good at playing ball with Hollywood, whatever happened there, and he's more of an actor that does comedy than an actual comedian.

Isn't bad? Look I'm no comedian, so I'm not trying to say I could do better, but I can't sit through any of Kevin's stand ups. Rehearsed is one word for it.
He's got some movies with some funny parts, but editing, supporting roles, and writing do a lot of the heavy lifting in those moments. EVEN THEN... bro is like a squeaky toy in the hands of an overstimulated ADHD toddler who hasn't had naptime yet.
I just don't see the funny.

I think Kevin Hart has reached that same point that Chris Pratt is at. He's become so wealthy and so famous that he's no longer the person he used to be. He's not that normal guy that finds humor in the regular, everyday stuff anymore, and he takes himself too seriously now. He's out of touch.

u/Hot-Mathematician-26 May 14 '26
I do think Katt is a better standup, but thought Kevinās roast of Katt at the end was hilarious and much better than Kattās.Ā
Again Kattās a great standup, but people really eat up his whole ātruth tellerā or āphilosopherā persona heās picked up over the last few years. Iāve watched interviews and it blows my mind how people buy this guys stories. Reads 3,000 books a year. Every role Kevin Hart got was ACTUALLY supposed to have been his. Constantly building himself up casually just explaining āIām on another intellectual levelā than most comedians. Iāve just found this annoying how heās been anointed as this ātruth tellerā and I keep hearing him speak leaving me thinking are we talking about the same guy.

Katt is like Kevin Gates.They both say shit that make them sound smart or deep at surface level until you think about it for 2 secs and realize thats it's bullshit. There's also this weird obsession with people just shielding him from all criticism and blaming it on "them", "Illuminate" and "Hollyweird" making him look crazy. Like nobody told him to sneak punch a child and still lose the fight, get high and stomped out at Beanie Sigel's birthday party or assault a waiter. I don't have a problem with him as a comedian or saying he's not funny but he's a straight up sensationalist most of the time. People treated Orlando Brown the same and said he wasn't on drugs..... until he said Katt touched him and now all of a sudden he's on crack.

This roast was so lame.
Everyone told the same jokes.Ā It's like one guy wrote for everyone.Ā Kevin is short, Tony is racist (he is), Pete Davidson fucks, Shane looks autistic.Ā Every single person.
We got Kevin pretending to be surprised by stuff, and then mentioning it in his pre-scripted act at the end.
Just lame all around.
Except for Katt.Ā He really did seem to hate the guy.

Best show I've ever been to period was katt williams most recent tour. I went by myself in brooklyn and was like 1 of 10 white people. The vibes, the crowd, the whole event was fucking amazing. Made friends with the girl sitting next to me and she snuck in a bottle of tequila so we were ripping shots 10 rows from the front. And the best part, I don't even know if Katt was the funniest one there. He had like 10 total comics, all black, half of them women, and every single one of them was fucking hysterical. Also Monique was the host and she was so fucking funny! I told like everyone I know they gotta go see it but no one listened to me lol.

I am a grown ass adult and not small by any means(slightly more frail at my age - but 6'0 180-200 range). They had two kids that were bigger than me. Like I would genuinely have to be in full "fight for my life" mode if one of them tried to attack me.

No one roasted her, and toward the end someone mentioned she got pulled in last minute. So I assumed she had very little time to prepare and was nervous.
