The Black community is so proud of you. Right now, George Floyd is looking up at us all laughing so hard that he can’t breathe.”<\/p>\n “I wasn’t shocked. That’s what they do. Go look at [2024’s The Roast of Tom Brady<\/em>]. That’s what they do. It happens every year when they do a roast. It’s not new,” Hart said on The Breakfast Club<\/em>. “This isn’t a new agenda, it’s not a new approach to comedy.”<\/p>\n When Charlamagne asked Hart if he thought Hinchcliffe “went too far” with the joke about Floyd, Hart responded, \u201cIt’s Tony Hinchcliffe. I don’t expect less. I don’t expect more.\u201d<\/p>\n “I feel like you’re saying going too far is the point. I don’t want to put words in your mouth,” the radio host responded, to which Hart added, “Yes, I mean, that’s why you’re there. And I hate to say this, but I’m going to because we’re being honest \u2014 people are talking about that joke. Talk about the set. Tony Hinchcliffe arguably had the best set or one of the best sets.”<\/p>\n
