‘Roast My Rental’: What to Know About Leslie Jones’ HGTV Series With Jasmine Roth

Leslie Jones is bringing her comedic voice to HGTV for a fun new series.

The Saturday Night Live alum will host the new series Roast My Rental, which premieres later this summer. Reminiscent of Ugliest House in America and Scariest House in America, the series will follow Jones as she tours some of the country’s wildest vacation rentals, with a lucky few receiving a makeover from HGTV’s Jasmine Roth.

“Millions of people check into vacation rentals each year, but sometimes what’s posted online is not reality,” Jones said in a June statement about the series. “There are rentals with great photos, but the reviews tell a very different story…and I’m gonna find out why.”

She added, “As a comedian who’s been on the road for years, trust me, I’ve stayed in a lot of rentals and have seen the good, the bad, and the ‘oh hell no.’ These owners know their rentals aren’t working, so they’ve asked me to call out the problems, help fix them, and offer them a shot to turn these 1-star disasters into 5-star escapes.”

Roth, for her part, said filming Roast My Rental was the “hardest” she’s ever worked on a TV project. “This show wasn’t just a ton of work – it was also a lot of fun!” she wrote in a June 22 Instagram post. “I’m so appreciative of the opportunities that come my way, and never could I do it without so many talented people.”

What is the premise of Roast My Rental?

The series will follow Jones as she crashes “America’s worst short-term rentals, whose viral photos of amenities gone wrong, misleading listings and brutally honest reviews have scared guests away,” per the show’s description.

“After Leslie’s hilarious roast of the space and a no-nonsense reality check, she and her experienced design team, led by HGTV star and home renovation expert Jasmine Roth (Help! I Wrecked My House), will come to the rescue and help the owners clean up the chaos in just 72 hours,” the synopsis continues. “They’ll fix the flaws, transform the houses into top-tier vacation getaways and give the ‘roastees’ a chance at redemption when the next guests come to stay.”

What will happen during the Roast My Rental premiere?

“Leslie’s first roast will bring her to a secluded cozy cottage near wine country in Temecula, California. She’ll quickly learn why no guests and no profit are coming in, from duct tape on the kitchen faucet and dirty shag carpet to sharp fireplace edges and an unsafe loft space,” reads the series premiere’s description. “Needed updates took a backseat due to an illness, so owners Michael and Monica will now turn to Leslie and Jasmine to give their rental an alpine-inspired makeover in hopes of boosting reservations.”

The description continues, “In only three days, Leslie and Jasmine will overhaul the main living space with fresh paint and flooring, inviting furniture, a custom wine cabinet, and a kid-friendly hangout in the loft.”
