Chelsea Handler Rips Into MAGA Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Kevin Hart Roast
What To Know
- Chelsea Handler targeted Tony Hinchcliffe at Netflix’s Roast of Kevin Hart.
- She also called out fellow comedians for performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.
- Other roasters, including Pete Davidson and Sheryl Underwood, joined in mocking Hinchcliffe.
Comedians gathered on Sunday night (May 10) for Netflix’s Roast of Kevin Hart, but it was MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe who took the brunt of the verbal barbs from his fellow comics.
Chelsea Handler began her set by calling out her peers for performing at the Saudi Arabian government–sponsored Riyadh Comedy Festival last year, which included her fellow roasters, Jeff Ross and Pete Davidson, as well as Hart himself.
“Now that your favorite leader is making the draft mandatory, I assume that all of you will be signing up to go fight the war in Iran,” Handler said. “Or do you tough-talking p***ies only go to the Middle East for comedy festivals?”
She then turned her attention directly to Hinchcliffe, the Trump-supporting comedian who faced backlash in October 2024 for making a joke about Puerto Rico during a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden.

“Tony is what happens when women don’t have safe access to abortion care,” Handler quipped, before adding, “Tony, you have the face of a school shooter and the personality of someone who gets shot first.”
She also pointed out his whitened teeth, accusing him of using “Crest White Supremacist Strips,” and mocked his friendship with podcaster Joe Rogan by asking, “If you’re here tonight, who’s keeping Joe Rogan’s balls warm in their mouth?”

Hinchcliffe, who claims he turned down $1 million to perform in Riyadh, hit back at Handler during his own set, calling her a “cold, frigid b****,” according to The Daily Beast.
However, it wasn’t just Handler who took aim at Hinchcliffe during the Hart roast. Davidson said that the Kill Tony host looked like both “a child molester and the doll they give the child to show where he touched them.”
Pete Davidson made a Charlie Kirk joke toward Tony Hinchcliffe and calls Ye a ‘gay Nazi’ during Kevin Hart’s roast.

He also made a controversial joke about the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on September 10, 2025. “Tony reminds me a lot of Charlie Kirk,” the SNL alum said. “In that, he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat.”
“Oh, you don’t know me?” Davidson asked as some of the crowd groaned at his gag. “Kill Tony… please,” he continued. “Someone, f****** kill Tony.”
Davidson also said that nothing Hinchcliffe could say in return could hurt his feelings because, “I was in a beef with Kanye, so I’ve taken shots from better gay Nazis.”
Comedian and former co-host of The Talk, Sheryl Underwood, also got in on the Hinchcliffe pile-on, quipping, “Question for the day is, who has had more Black d*** in this town? Me or Chelsea Handler? The answer is Tony Hinchcliffe.”

The difference is that Chelsea clearly believes her "roasts" where Pete is clearly writing jokes as he giggles at his statements knowing full well that's the point. Chelsea has none of this.
