Che exits Hart roast as white-writer jokes spark debate
Michael Che pulled out of Netflix's live Roast of Kevin Hart due to SNL scheduling, then used Instagram to criticize the roast's writing pool, arguing white writers pushed edgier material (slavery, sex crimes, slurs) while Black writers’ jokes differed; the telecast had 17 credited writers with a mix of Black and white writers, fueling a broader conversation about who writes jokes for Black comedians.
