A Nasty Melania Joke Was Cut From Netflix Kevin Hart Roast -- And It's A Doozy

A writer for last Sunday’s Netflix roast of Kevin Hart revealed a joke about first lady Melania Trump that didn’t make the cut. And it might have brought down the house and incurred the wrath of the White House.
The line’s first target was comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, one of the roasters who’s perhaps best known for his “floating island of garbage” insult about Puerto Rico at a Madison Square Garden rally for Donald Trump in 2024.

The withheld crack goes thusly:
“Tony is like Melania: The only thing relevant about him is that he opened for Trump once.”
Variety, which shared writer Madison Sinclair’s sidelined zingers, didn’t provide a reason for the omission.

But the political climate for humor has reached a dark place in the Trump administration.
The first lady’s supposed outrage over a joke told by Jimmy Kimmel about her being an “expectant widow” ― days before an alleged assassination attempt ― prompted the president to renew his bid to have Kimmel removed for telling jokes he doesn’t like.

The Netflix roast did air a shocking jab at Hinchcliffe by Pete Davidson, who quipped: “Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat,”
Kirk, the right-wing activist, was seen bleeding from the neck after being fatally shot in 2025.
