Kevin Hart talked to “Extra” on the red carpet as he prepared to get skewered at his Netflix live roast!
Hart said he had “no fears” about the roast, telling us, "There's more excitement about seeing what people bring to the table. The jokes that will be told will be enjoyed. I'm here to take on all that comes with the night.”
The comedian insisted, “If it's not brutal, then you wasting my time. Don't waste my time. Brutal or nothing."
Kevin added, "But then I'm also here to return. That's the beauty. See, there's never been a comedian of this caliber to sit in the seat afterwards. So, what you will see after is a very surgical response."
