Tony Hinchcliffe says he’s tired of the narrative that fellow comedian Chelsea Handler stole the show at his expense during Netflix’s Roast of Kevin Hart.
The Kill Tony host addressed the reaction on his podcast after Handler’s roast material about him spread online. Hinchcliffe said reports about the moment did not match what he felt happened inside the room.
“There’s news articles, ‘cause the news isn’t real, nothing is real, that say that I got lit up by Chelsea Handler, which is very, very funny because that’s not what happened at all,” he said.

Handler had taken several swings at Hinchcliffe during the special, joking that he had “the face of a school shooter and the personality of someone who gets shot first.” She also joked about his teeth and his ties to Joe Rogan. Hinchcliffe, who has faced backlash for jokes about George Floyd and Puerto Rico, said he has been hit with labels he rejects.
“I got called a Nazi, gay, a racist over and over again,” he said. “I’m none of those three things, a little fun fact.” He also claimed there were issues during his portion of the show, saying, “Fun fact, the teleprompter only went down during my set.”

Hinchcliffe also called her a “c*nt,” which received laughs from the studio audience.
Handler later said on Funny Knowing You that she had anticipated the insults that might come her way.
“They couldn’t say anything other than that I’m a whore or my age,” she said. “And you’re like, well, OK, those aren’t jokes.”
