Che Quits Hart Roast and Calls Out White-Written Jokes
Michael Che pulled out of Netflix’s Roast of Kevin Hart due to SNL scheduling, then took to Instagram to critique the joke-writing lineup, posting a slide of five white writers and arguing that white roasts target different material than Black comedians. Variety notes the telecast had 17 credited writers, including Black writers, and Che’s comments focus on the behind‑the‑scenes writers rather than the performers, with Netflix not commenting.
