The 41-year-old comedian and Golden Globes host recently shared that she was invited to Netflix’s roast of Kevin hosted by Shane Gillis, but turned down the invitation.
“I do not have the time right now in my schedule to commit to giving it what I want to give it,” Nikki told Variety this week at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

She continued, “I love it and when I work hard at it I kill it, but I just don’t have the time to work hard at it and I just recently roasted Kevin Hart at the Golden Globes. I roasted him at the [Tom Brady roast]. I’m coming up short with short jokes if you know what I’m saying.”
Nikki was also part of the roasts for Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin, and Rob Lowe.
However, she will be working with Kevin soon on a different Netflix series, the comedy competition show Funny AF with Kevin Hart in which Nikki will be a special guest judge alongside celebs like Chelsea Handler, Kumail Nanjiani, Keegan-Michael Key, and more.
Kevin‘s roast special will be held on the final of the 2026 Netflix Is a Joke Fest and televised live on Sunday, May 10, from The Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Nikki will also return to host the 2027 Golden Globes.
