George Floyd's Brother Kevin Hart Should've Brought Will Smith Energy to Roast!!!

Published

Kevin Hart should've slammed the brakes on the roast -- like Will Smith did at the Oscars in 2022 -- after hearing Tony Hinchcliffe crack a George Floyd joke ... so says Floyd's brother.

Terrence Floyd sat down for an interview on "The Latest with Loren LoRosa"... and he was asked who should've stepped in to stop Hinchcliffe from mocking Floyd's murder by saying he was "looking up at us all, laughing so hard he can't breathe."

Floyd says his family was especially hurt by the joke because Hart attended Floyd's funeral in Minnesota back in the day ... and he feels Hart should've stepped up in the moment and cut Hinchcliffe off.

TH claims she didn't hear the joke, so she didn't comment on the controversial quip itself. But she did note that people who seem to be complaining are comedians who weren't invited to the show.

And that looks she gives the camera at the end tells you exactly how Tiffany's feeling about the criticism.

DEFENDING A FRIEND

Pete Davidson is catching heat over a controversial joke aimed at slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk during "The Roast of Kevin Hart" ... and now one of Charlie's close friends says the whole thing left him seriously disgusted.

Andrew Kolvet -- a Turning Point USA producer -- said Monday he thought the joke was wildly distasteful considering Charlie was murdered in such a brutal and public way ... adding he physically cringed hearing it land during the Netflix special -- much like the audience's reaction inside the room.

During the roast, Pete was talking about fellow comic Tony Hinchcliffe when he dropped the line, "Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat," ... before adding, "Please somebody f***ing kill Tony" ... a reference to Hinchcliffe's own podcast, "Kill Tony."

Dwayne Johnson made a not-so-shocking appearance last night at Netflix's "The Roast of Kevin Hart" ... but then went hardcore, even dropping the R-word, which, if you know his past, is wild.

The movie star was the last person to light into Kevin before it was the comic's turn to throw zingers at everyone else who'd burned him -- and DJ made it count big time.

The short-guy jokes and the quips of talentless-ness were all par for the evening's course -- and even Dwayne hitting on KH's wife was funny -- though not shocking -- but then he dropped the R-word while making fun of controversial NBAer Draymond Green.
