'Comedy is healing, comedy is therapy,' Ross tells Newsweek. 'People are now yearning for potent, unfiltered comedy.'
For over two decades, comedian Jeff Ross has insulted people for a living, a career that's often misunderstood and criticized by the less comedy-literate. Dubbed the"RoastMaster General," Ross has thrown harsh comedic barbs at countless celebrities — including Donald Trump, Justin Bieber, Bruce Willis and most recently, Alec Baldwin — for Comedy Central's long-running roast series, a show he also serves as a producer for.
Comedian/actor Jeff Ross performs his stand-up comedy routine as part of the Aces of Comedy series at The Mirage Hotel & Casino on June 7, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada."Donald's ego is so big he videotapes himself masturbating and then masturbates to that video. Donald Trump is such an egomaniac he makes Hitler seem like he wasn't completely sure how he felt about Jewish people," Ross said to a smiling Trump during his 2011 Comedy Central Roast.
When asked to name some of the worst performers to pass through Comedy Central's roasts, unsurprisingly, Ross pointed to Ann Coulter's infamous appearance at the 2016. Coulter was destroyed by the professional comedians on stage when her attempts at humor failed to land. Earlier this year, the comedian faced backlash for mocking teenage Holocaust diarist Anne Frank in Netflix's original comedy series, a show that includes Ross and other comedians dressing up as dead historical figures to brutally roast each other in character. In one episode, Rachel Feinstein's Anne Frank goes head to head against Gilbert Gottfried's Adolf Hitler. In another, John Stamos' John Wilkes Booth takes on Bob Saget's Abraham Lincoln.
