The Burn with Jeff Ross is a comedy panel show hosted by comedian Jeff Ross on Comedy Central. The show debuted on August 14, 2012, and is executive produced by Ross himself.[1] The program features Ross roasting a wide variety of targets,[2] along with guest appearances by fellow comedians who make up a panel of roasters. The show has been renewed for a second season by Comedy Central, which premiered on January 8, 2013.[3]
Format
The Burn with Jeff Ross is presented in a humorous half-hour format, and is broadcast Tuesday nights at 10:30/9:30c. The show is broken down into many segments. Examples of these segments include celebrity visits, public roasting, and panelist roasting. The first season contained an additional segment, known as "speed roasting", in which members of the audience volunteered to be roasted. As of the second season, the "speed roasting" segment is available only via the internet.
The show usually features several segments such as "Friendly Fire," where Ross meets up with a celebrity friend of his, usually doing roasts of each other. There is also "Public Enemy," where Ross, sometimes riding a Segway scooter, goes around to roast regular people out on the street, sometimes following a certain theme, such a Meter Maids and pornstars. During the panelist roast, three guest comedians discuss the recent news and pop culture happenings. The last segment of every episode is "Too Soon?", where Ross does a roast/eulogy for somebody that had recently died, whether that is a celebrity or someone anonymous who died in a humorous or idiotic way.
