The Roast of Kevin Hart, which recently went viral for its audacious humor, had several jokes that did not make it to the final broadcast. In a recent interview, one of the writers disclosed details about a joke aimed at former First Lady Melania Trump that was ultimately removed.
Cut Joke Involving Melania Trump
According to Variety, the joke was intended for Tony Hinchcliffe, one of the first roasters. The line that was cut read: "Tony is like Melania: The only thing relevant about him is that he opened for Trump once." This jab referenced Hinchcliffe's controversial remarks about Puerto Rico during Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally. Writer Madison Sinclair shared the details, though the reason for the joke's removal remains unclear.
Other Jokes That Made It
While the Melania Trump joke was cut, Pete Davidson's sharp dig comparing Hinchcliffe to Charlie Kirk was retained. Davidson quipped, "Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he's definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat."
Context on Melania Trump
Recently, after Jimmy Kimmel joked that Melania looked like an "expectant widow," the Trump administration condemned the remark as an attempt to spread hate. The comment came just days before a shooting incident connected to the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
