Netflix Taps Jeff Ross To Host ‘Torching 2024: A Roast Of The Year’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: After generating some pretty spectacular ratings for Netflix as co-host of its Roast of Tom Brady, Jeff Ross is set to reteam with the streamer on Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year, premiering globally on December 27.
Billed as a night of savage laughs, and surprises, looking back on the last 12 months, the roast will tape at the The Bellwether in Los Angeles on December 17.
Featured guests will include comedians Mark Normand, Ms. Pat, Sam Morril, and Tim Dillon. Joe DeMaio is directing, with Ian Orefice and Michael Antinoro exec producing for EverWonder Studio, alongside Bryan Zuriff for BZ Entertainment, Ross, Amy Zvi, and Michael Gibbons.
Nicknamed the “Roastmaster General,” Ross has been a central figure in the art of celebrity roasts for multiple decades.
