Nikki Glaser has voiced her concerns regarding a joke made by Tony Hinchcliffe during the roast of Kevin Hart, particularly a remark referencing George Floyd. In an interview at the American Music Awards, Glaser stated that her issue with the joke was not about race but rather its lack of humor and authenticity. She described the joke as feeling forced and disconnected from the context of the roast. Hinchcliffe's joke, which suggested that the Black community was proud of Hart and humorously claimed that George Floyd was 'looking up at us all laughing so hard he can’t breathe,' has drawn significant criticism. While many comedians, including Glaser, believe that race can be a valid topic for humor, they argue that jokes should not be made merely for the sake of controversy. Kevin Hart defended Hinchcliffe's joke, indicating a divide in opinions within the comedy community. Glaser mentioned that the joke has been a hot topic in her group chats with other comedians, highlighting that the criticism is more about the execution than any racial implications.
