Lemon LIVE at 5 | Chelsea Handler & Sheryl Underwood on The Kevin Hart Roast!
Tonight, we dive into the controversy surrounding the recent roast of Kevin Hart. Critics say the event crossed the line into vulgarity, sexism, and racism, while others argue that nothing should be off-limits in comedy.
So where is the line? Did it go too far?
Don is joined by Chelsea Handler and Sheryl Underwood, who both participated in the roast, for a candid conversation about comedy, culture, free expression, and why these debates seem more heated than ever.

Before we build a monument to Sheryl Underwood – – – let’s not forget she is still a part of the MAGA-LITE community!!!

I met Sheryl Underwood in St Louis back in 2007 she is so funny she told my baby Daddy he was a pimp because he was in there with me and his baby mama. We had a good time and I love her she made us laugh so hard I almost peed on ourselves. Be strong black woman and stay in the game don't never give it up you are amazing! Also I don't know if I got the date yet you'll know when you were in St Louis. You know how it is for Black folk we can't quite remember the date but I remember what happened!!!!

I’m a therapist, and I am soooo glad you said what I’ve been saying throughout my career. We as black folks might be better if we believe in therapy. The black clients I had were court ordered. That’s a shame. The other folks came even if it was just to get out of the house.

chelsea likes homophobic jokes that arent targeted at lefties. I remember her jokes about Mccain and Graham

What did I expect from a Dom Lemon vid. Of course Chelsea is his favorite, all her jokes are about her being a whore. Love the offensive and racist jokes and Shane was my favorite.

chelsea was not funny at all in it tbh. why claim sexism when she called herself a whore, an made homophobic jokes about Tony, then claim homophobia

Love Don Lemon and the Lemons Nation! 🍋 It offers great, timely commentary on the issues of the day. And honestly, every episode does not have to focus on the incompetence of the current administration. It was refreshing to have a broader discussion, and Chelsea Handler and Sheryl Underwood were both phenomenal guests. 🍋

Those white men are loser Tony and the host. They are jealous and it shows in the racist vulgar jokes. White men are losing power and they are upset. That at one point all races especially black people and women were beneath them. They use joking to show their real feelings.

At one point It wasn’t even funny hearing people talking about her husband. I’m a latina and was very disappointed on the personal attacks against them.
It’s actually nice to hear she took it so well.

sheryl underwood was the star last night. She is a true comic – comedy is an art form and she is a true artist

Saw the Kevin Hart roast, it was great but, Kevin bomb on his own roast at the end. Tony Hinchcliffe jokes always have a bad taste of hate in them.
