Jeff is just about the most qualified person to weigh in on an alopecia related roast
not to mention he met WIll Smith with Chris Rock. Destiny
@@mariopario8637 Jeff Ross is not qualified to talk about Jada's alopecia: he is a male.
Yeah getting alopecia sucks but come the hell on, it's easier to go bald if you're a guy. People see a bald guy and they think "oh just some guy". People see a bald woman and they think "oh does she have cancer or something?"
Jada had the right to be offended, she's not a roast comedian and she was totally in the right to be offended.
Whatever Will Smith personally decided to do afterwards was not Jada's fault.
@@prodevus Alopecia doesn't mean that someone is "just" going bald. That disease can take pretty much any hair from your body, eyebrows being arguably the most visible.
And Jada is partially to blame for Will's actions: she clearly encouraged Will to go "defend her honor". Will was laughing at the joke at first but then, like Conan pointed out, he went into a character. And if you know anything about Will's and Jada's relationship you know that Jada enjoys berating Will in public (or rather on her Instagram) and humiliating him. Not to mention her abusive behavior towards Will in general.
He is a white man, he does not have authority over her experience. He was also talking about how he doesn’t roast anyone without their consent.

As a female who has struggled with alopecia for 15 years, this was a really interesting and positive take on the situation, thank u Jeffrey
'15' and 'female' in one sentence? somewhere in a back room in vegas jeff's pants just twitched
Why "Jeffrey", though?
@@gregbester3855 he sometimes goes by Jeffrey... ? Cause that's, ya know, his name?
@@gregbester3855 jeff ross is the producer. It helps to have them use different names. jeffreys last name isnt ross anyway. Thats a stage name
as a cosmetologist of twenty three years who’s dealt with clients with alopecia………. For people with alopecia how does being forced to accept that bully joke normalize things?
Please tell me what’s positive about Jeff saying Jada should have “taken” the “roast joke” to “normalize” alopecia……
When in reality it’s other people who should learn to control themselves. Learn that they can’t make fun of people for being different. But society doesn’t want that. They want people with any disabilities including you behind closed doors so the “normies” can feel more comfortable. Because you make them uncomfortable by not having hair. Especially if you don’t wear a wig.
So again tell me why your ok with your auto immune disorder being made fun of. Tell me again why someone should not defend their wife who has an auto immune disorder and is obviously being bullied.
Why are you ok with bully behavior ?
You didn’t just loose your hair. You have an auto immune disorder that can effect your whole body. And Jeff and coco think you should have to accept being bullied so they can feel better about your disorder which has nothing to do with them. But they need to feel better so Jada just should have taken the “roast joke” about her auto immune disorder. They would say the same about you.
Why is that again?
I liked how self-conscious Jeff was about where he stands in Hollywood and how well he made his point about Will Smith getting away with the slap. Also, the fact that he roasts people who volunteer as opposed to randomly picking up on people shows that he is not oblivious to the fact that not everyone has thick skin.
Jeff Ross is a kind soul. Somehow his roasts has this sweet feel to it. You're laughing with the person rather than laughing at them. That's great comedy.
Probably learned from trial and error
If you want authentic, look no further Than jeff ross. That dude shows his authenticity in a way that most don’t. I really appreciate him. he is so sincere.
@@piteusx8440 I feel your comment man. Indeed. He brings me to tears as much for his comedy as his big heart.
he kind of undermined his argument, did Jada volunteer to be roasted? I don't think she did. Granted Will overstepped and shows just again how Hollywood lives a double standard. Anyone else would have got an assault charge
Never seen this side of Jeff before. I think I may have a new found respect for the guy. Good job Jeff and Conan!
Yes, same same. Far more insight and considered finesse than we see in the televised roast persona.
He's insightful like this on most of his longer-form podcast interviews. Check out the Howie Mandel channel for one of them.
Consider checking out his Thick Skin with Jeff Ross podcast (which he hasn't done in months, unfortunately), or any interviews with him really. He's the opposite of a hack comedian and never seems to be boring.
@@voccsaycee30 Will do, thanks.
If you don't like his comedy,what is the point in liking him as a man? Lmao
Jeff looks like Gotham's funniest crime Boss
And also like a squirrel that's alergic to nuts.
Joker has entered the chat
I hope he sees this. I think he’d like that joke.
He looks like a latex mask disguise for the penguin
That’s because he’s bald. People with alopecia are almost always the villain
Jeff showed his humanity and intelligence in his intuitive response to the joke.
Really was a wise take. I agree.
"The joke's on Jada, because I have alopecia and I'm starring in GI Jane 2."
That joke is so good on so many levels, even though it's true! Jeff Ross is a legend.
Yea jada really turned a pie into a dim sim
Bald little pool boy jada
Yes and the difference is Jeff made it himself about himself. Conan said Jada had talked about it before. That should not give someone else the OK to make fun of her for it.
I just finished listening to this whole podcast, Jeff was great, I hope they have him back on. Conan said "I have a list here of about 75 things I wanted to ask you, and I got to number 2" and it really felt like that, like there's a whole load more for these guys to talk about.
Is there a way to watch the full podcast? On spotify there is only audio
@@zymawaly1636 sadly not, we all want it though.
@@AthanImmortal thanks for the reply 😉
I’ve listened to it twice already! Probably the funniest guest yet!! The Bea Arthur part had me hollering 😂🤣
Jeff Ross is one of those guys who I routinely search for in podcast episode directories because as well as making you laugh (a lot) he also has unique insights to famous people and celebrities and he can talk about it with such grace and wisdom and he never gets nasty about it. I respect him a lot.
Yo, another dude with alopecia piping in. Lost my hair when I was 11, got bullied for it a bunch when I was a kid, but could always recognize the light-hearted jokes, and rolled with the punches - have I ever hit someone about it? Nope. Thanks, Jeff Ross. The way he talks about normalizing it is smart and heartfelt. I love it
Did you feel Chris Rock's joke was mean-spirited? Because it did feel like he said it with malice, imo. If the slap didn't happen, what would be your reaction?
I got it when I was 14. But I didn't get bullied. Most people either thought i had cancer or was a nazi. I did get sent down to the principal's office because someone said I shaved a swastika on my head.
@@AviChetriArtwork it’s called writers. They were friends from the Madagascar movies. So Chris was just reading a joke
This could also be phrased as compartmentalizing abuse tho, js
@LuckyLos eh soft
My uncle had alopecia as a child. He has no hair anywhere on his body. He’s a tall, muscular man that wears all white almost all of the time. He relishes being called Mr. Clean. I watched him clear brush with a scythe, not a spec of dirt anywhere on his white clothes. 😂😂
For some reason, I find his inability to get dirty, despite what he wears, hilarious. 😂
Thats why he is such a good comedian and a good sport!
how?!?! scything brush and no dirt on clothes?! how?!
Your uncle is an assassin. Agent 48 or something.
I had alopecia areata where a huge patch of hair on the back of my head completely fell out. I had several patches fall out and it’s extremely stressful and I feel self conscious. It actually grew back but I still
That analogy about getting thrown out of a fancy restaurant AFTER you get an absolutely royal treatment was SO very accurate lmao. Even Conan looked visibly ashamed for a second when he said that. It must be strange operating in a business that is so blatantly shameless.
never knew JR had alopecia, but glad to see him talk so candidly. a super funny guy, and very human.
I'm not saying the only reason to be bald is having alopecia.
@@raulpardomorales7994 So are you saying that the only reason to be bald is having alopecia?
Alopecia just means losing hair...
@@ok9908 alopecia areata is when you have patchy baldness this is the most common type, theres alopecia universalis when people lose all the hair on the body and alopecia totalis when you lose all the hair on your scalp. These are auto immune diseases like eczema and celiac disease. ALOPECIA androtta aka pattern baldness is NOT an autoimmune disease but a system of genetics and aging. People with the autoimmune kind have a chance of growing hair back because there's nothing wrong with the hair follicles themselves. The problem is that the bodies immune system is purposefully killing hair strands and proteins because it mistakenly believes it to be an intruder or foreign cells.
@@jacobjones4766 I was just trolling, but that's some cool information on the subject so thanks lol
“Can you believe we lost Gilbert, Saget, and Will Smith in the same year” 😂🤣
How could he forget Norm!
@@kevindoran9389 I didn’t even know he was sick
Omg the story about the 12 year old girl so freakin sad I can’t imagine the pain she must’ve been through
It happens all the time bullying is really serious stuff!
I didn't know Jeff Ross only roasted volunteers. He's a class act.
He targets darkness, not people.
@@juancpgo unless you’re under 18 and a female, then he really likes to target you!
I doubt any one has ever in his life referred to Jeff as a class act lol. Good guy tho! He understands it
@@opaljk4835 the girl who accused him of that has falsely accused several people before, and was trying to discredit Ross for years before the allegations.
@@TheB0sss I was talking about his comedy, what were you talking about?
Jeff made a damn good point that I hadn't thought of: Jada could've "normalized" alopecia by taking the joke and in doing so, she could have helped an untold number of other sufferers, especially kids, with their self-image. Instead, what happened reinforces the idea that alopecia is something unspeakably horrible.
20/20
@@echad6259 Yeah, good point.
But he also says a kid got picked on and killed herself. Chris wasnt picking on Jada? Of course he was, he was roasting her. Was the kid picking on the little girl "normalizing it" because its the same FKn thing. Its kind of contradicting.
Jada just wanted to be selfish or uptight because she is a woman and to exert like control over Will. It really feels like she wanted to show she has some hold over Will even though they have an open marriage.
@@colinmclaughlin9047 Kid vs grown adult who works in entertainment. Not saying it cannot be mean, but I know Chris did not mean to put down those with alopecia.
Jeff is so insightful. That "someone told me that's who he is and we have been seeing a character for 20 years" sounds very true just by how he says it.
Jeff Ross was one of the warm up acts for Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock at the concert I went to last night in London. Despite the fact Rock and Chapelle are two of my favourite stand ups of all time Jeff was the one that gave me the biggest laugh last night with a bit he did about the Queen.
Much like his idol/inspiration, the late great Don Rickles, Jeff Ross actually has a heart of gold and realizes that the jokes aren’t meant to hurt but rather to heal and give voice to the things we are afraid to talk about.
That’s what some people unfortunately still don’t understand about comedy.
Just saw him perform two nights ago in Austin. Great set! And yes, that’s true, he did only roast volunteers at the end and wouldn’t take people pointed at.
This was a very refreshing and wonderful episode. I’ve never seen Jeff Ross in this light. Great stories and insight from him. Hope he comes back.
I really didn't expect Jeff to get so deep. What a great interview
Jeff is a good man. On top of being funny. Guy has a heart of gold.
Watching Will Smith that night was like watching myself before I was on my medication . I mean the way he went into character and everything . That bipolar flip
Jada pushed him to do it
@@Drnaynay I really dislike Jada. But I don’t blame her for Will’s actions because I read his memoir.
His memoir is chapter after chapter full of arrogance and entitlement. Always ignoring people’s wishes in lieu of what he believes they should like. Grandiose displays of affection.
His behavior at the Oscars was not out of character. He has several stories where you see that Will Smith. After his girlfriend cheated on him when he was on tour, he stared into her eyes as he lit all of her stuff on fire in the front yard and busted up her windows.
The way he talked about women and behaved around them was so intense. He told stories about his family interactions that really made me feel for them. He is so intense and exhausting to be around. So much that I was surprised that at the end I felt a little sorry for Jada and could understand why she wanted to leave him.
I still don’t like Jada. And I think they’re both toxic. But someone else said it best. Will sucks the life out of every room he enters.
If you’re curious about his memoir, you can listen to the podcast Celebrity Memoir Book Club. They did an episode on his book.
@@BbGun-lw5vi wow!! Pretty insane. Poor kids, is all I can say
@@BbGun-lw5vi you have me so curious now. It may even be the link to exactly what you and Jeff are saying. That what the World saw, was the real man. I would guess the remorse is genuine by now, but this will shadow the rest of his career permanently.
@@Drnaynay Yup. I felt bad for the kids having a dad like Will. He’s too much.
I love the insight from Jeff Ross. Never thought about how that affected so many kids in the world. I also love the unfiltered format.
I'm 48 and I've had alopecia since I was 14. In 1988, when my hair fell out, teenage boys were not shaving their heads. This dude is right what he's saying doesn't just apply to alopecia. You can only get offended if you choose to be. Different people have different struggles, and it's legitimate to be upset over certain insults. Particularly if the intent is actually malicious. Woman or not, Jada was public about her condition and she can't NOT understand that Rock is comedian and as such, he gets a little creative license on what's appropriate.
People should really discuss intentions in humour; the current discourse of Cancel Culture has created a vibe that because people are joking; they should not be criticised. There are bad jokes that stem from hatred and meanness, that should be in this discourse.
@@AviChetriArtwork Settle down
@@AviChetriArtwork it's okay to feel uncomfortable with a joke.. it's not okay to be outraged
@B Babbich doubt it
Go star in gi,Jane 3

Can't wait to see it!
GI Jeff
One of the best episodes of the podcasts so far, as well as (debatably) the most real look at the behind-the-scenes Conan & Co. due to the fact that Ross’ specialty, mixed with his damned good articulation of how, to him, taking a joke can be empowering, may have made them feel more comfortable than usual when it comes to laughing at what is funny if it’s funny, rather than stepping on eggshells. To me, the conversation, mixed with the refreshingly old school of hearing Conan and everyone laughing hard at old Don Rickles jokes, Ross’s jokes, etc. that might not be “nice” but are insrguably, truly, funny.
Thank you for this valuable and humane conversation. Jeff sharing about how he selects people for roasting at shows -- have to volunteer, won't pick people being pointed at by others -- underlines that he's not "using" people, but people volunteer having already sat through at least 30 mins. of his material and so should know what to expect. Celebrities go to the Oscars "should" also know what to expect, especially when a comedian is the host (e.g., Ricky Gervais). That was such a mild joke, too, comparing her to a movie character who is tough, strong and overcomes barriers, and not, say, Dr. Evil. I like that Jeff acknowledged that the joke nevertheless might have hurt a little, and that hair loss can be harder for women.
Jeff shared about his own experience with alopecia -- the shock of all his hair falling out in a few weeks, visiting doctors anxious that he might have something serious, wearing wigs, and hearing the story of a young girl who killed herself after being bullied at school. Creating a platform to humanize the condition by sharing real stories does so much more than assaulting someone. I've appreciated getting to learn more about your story, Jeff.
The beautiful and mega-talented Molly Tuttle is someone I've always admired for how she handles her life with alopecia as a performer, but Jeff Ross just gained my admiration. Super funny dude as well. Like many have commented here, I've love to see a return interview so Conan can ask all of those other questions he had.
I have footage of Jeff Ross pulling me up. Calling me handsome. And walking to the next person. Best roast I've ever gotten!
I saw a clip from a European event where WS slapped a fan. So he has done this before.
@@gmunden1 that *fan* wasn't a fan. He was a known "prankster" and tried to kiss WS.
How about you tell the whole tale.
Can't stand WS. But I can't stand people who willfully leave out info.
Why not post that footage to your active TH-cam channel?
I got roasted in a comedy club by Frankie Boyle(British comedian) n boy did he go to town on me,even I was laughing hysterically tbh.
Anybody who can't take a roast from a comedian especially If you choose to be there has serious problems man.
@@mrblonde1264 I'd consider getting roasted an honor.
He will forever be the king of roasts. What a legend this guy is. Understands every single aspect of comedy down to its core but also has an ability to adapt it to todays standards w/o losing its vigor and its soooo refreshing
Jeff was poignant and honest. One of Coco's greatest guests. Ever.
As a fellow bald man and as a professional caricature artist who makes a living drawing light-hearted, wacky, funny, exaggerated portraits of people, I absolutely agree with Jeff! It’s very healthy to be able to laugh at yourself, especially since we’re all funny-looking creatures who can easily fall into the habit of taking ourselves too seriously ❤️
Depends on the condition.
he was just brilliant on this podcast. could listen to another 3 hours of him
I never would have imagined Jeff Ross to be this deep, this sensitive, or this soulful. Really glad I watched because now I have a whole new perspective on him & his comedy.
I love how Conan, Sona and Matt are all wearing dark blue short-sleeved shirts.
Saw him on the street in the Village in 2002 and complimented him on his work. 'Thanks, man.' He and Attell keep us grounded.
i wish more people could take jeff's perspective. not just on alopecia, but all things. people seem to have a hard time understanding when their response to something only makes it worse.
Wow! I was on the same tour with Jeff in 2013 and saw him leave tour with the big hair and come back without, even made a comment about it to him when he came back, and had no idea he was dealing with this. Dude is amazing on and off stage.
That was actually a very enlightening side I never even considered, about normalizing things. Well spoken by Jeff.
These are incredibly humanizing moments for Jeff courtesy of Conan. This is refreshing.
the last joke on the podcast had me on the floor, well done jeff!
I started losing my hair at age 23, just kept getting thinner and thinner each year. Now at age 38 I've got the full Mr. Burns cut if I don't shave my head. I'd love to have my hair back and often feel insecure about it but I'd laugh my head off if someone called me G.I Jane. Demi kicked ass in that movie.
Male pattern baldness
It's actually androgenic alopecia and it sucks. My hairline started receding right after high school and started shaving my head in my mid-twenties (2006) because there was nothing anyone can do. Thank God I was born with a round head. However, my great aunt thought I had cancer and had to tell her that no I'm just bald and there was no reason to hide it. I had to promise that I was not lying to her. On another note my aunt called me Yul Brynner and I was like, "Who?"
@@HBC423 Which is androgenic alopecia..
Jeff's take was the most unique perspective on the Jada thing I've heard.
Omg this should be played on digital billboards. So much to learn.
I saw Jeff walking down Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem in 2009 with a big fat cigar. I guess he was doing some shows in Israel. I couldn't remember his name, but I knew he was the roast king. I approached him and put on my thickest Israeli accent (which isn't great because I'm from Oklahoma) and said, "Aren't you the famous American comedian?" He just turned to me and said, "Not famous. Infamous." He took a pic with me and told us about his shows in the area. What a legend.
13 years old I had a spot on the back at my head, size of a nickel and i remember going to the doctors and them telling me they dont know what causes it and they cant do anything about it.
All I lost was that small piece, but I could only imagine how it would be to lose everything.
So now you get to randomly beat people up?
Was it a basal cell or something? That's what I got. They took a rather large chunk of my head off
@@getstew Jada beat someone up? Actually... Will beat someone up? When?
@@cappycook This was almost nothing, the size of a nickel on the back of my head. They stuck it with needles a couple times and that was it. Just makes me feel for the kids who lose large sections or even all the hair. It must be so difficult.
@@getstew So people get to randomly insult others. Thats cool next time I see a burns victim or someone with a missing limb I'll be sure to make fun of them since some comedian says it ok. Even better if they're a kid and obviously if their family get upset then its them who have the problem.
I think even professional comedians have levels. Jeff Ross is at the top end. Combo of inherently funny, intelligence and empathy. Would like to see him on again.
I really thought that Chris was just saying that Jada looked like she was rocking the look. GI Jane implies strong, cool and good-looking. He could have used any "bald" reference, and he chose GI Jane.
That is exactly what I thought. I was not understanding what was up, I thought it was part of the act...it was just weird, like Smith was drunk or something else was going on. Maybe they had a married couple argument earlier?
Yep, totally took it that way as well.
Yes, that's what Rock intended. And Jada was clearly not bothered by her bald look, otherwise she would be hiding it with a wig. She embraced her baldness and Rock alluded to a role in a hypothetical movie sequel that she would do well with.
But then Will went berserk.
This man seems so lovely, actually.
Jeff and Greg Giraldo were the best parts of those comedy roasts. Man I miss Greg.
As a Brit I only knew of Greg and Jeff through Comedy Central celebrity roasts.
Greg's premature death still has a significant impact on me to this day.
@@Gayestskijumpever I think Greg was a step above Jeff. He was just quick and hilarious. His appearance on the show "Tough crowd" with Denis Leary is legendary!
Greg is missed. Sucks when hilarious genius is packaged with big demons. Really shocked me when he died. Wonder how the family he left behind is doing...
Greg overdosed on his way to give a speech about recovery.
Roasting is like cuss words. It's great when it can be seen as on its own, but if it's a constant thing in culture and every rando thinks they're Chris Rock, it loses its flavor. Jeff Ross has a good vibe about it all, the bullying aspect. Good response.
New found respect for Jeff. Thank you Conan
We were just given a little peek at what Will Smith is really like that night. A good person would never get anywhere near that behavior. It would just be too far a jump.
Jeff, Chris and Conan are among the best!
Exactly. I really dislike Jada. But I don’t blame her for Will’s actions because I read his memoir.

He threatened to slap Charlize Theron during Moviefone interview for Hancock. He's always been abusive.
@@BbGun-lw5vi does Will even know who Will is anymore?
Mr. Ross was at a comedy club in NY years ago just back from Afghanistan entertaining troops. He was exhausted but put on a great show. Roaster, yes but self-deprecating and as he used the word, healing. Thank you for doing this show.
Jeff ross can’t be on the Mt Rushmore of comedy. But he is on his own hill. And NOBODY is on that hill. His influence is undeniable. You usually only talk of a handful of comedians when you talk the best ever. Jeff really put a style on the map that still exists in so many comics today. His brand is undeniable. And he doesn’t get the credit he deserves as someone who’s styles continues to help define some very good comedy. He popularized a style. That can’t be overstated. Beyond that, i think i’m more of a fan of jeff ross as a person, than for his talent and skill on stage.
Didn't know Jeff was such a genuine dude, considering the venom he throws around during roasts
Such a funny guy. His joke at the end, about getting kicked out of a restaurant, was so good 😂
Imagine if everyone in the audience when Ricky Gervais hosted the Golden Globes had the same attitude as Will Smith at the Oscars.
"This is the greatest Denny's I've ever heard of!"
What an epic one liner!
That's what you carried with you from that deep vid...
Yeah the premise of the analogy is that they treated Will unbelievably great.
And you and Coco's response is "hurr durr that sounds great"
Obviously. But try to keep up.
@@rustylee1836 this reply is so stupid... your idea that my comment about conans last joke meant the entire rest of the video went over my head is so... welp this is the internet..
I'm confused, Jeff says that he doesn't like bullying 4:15, doesn't pick on people that do not volunteer, yet he wants Jada and Will to hide their feelings on the joke they didn't volunteer for, (yes, I know Will assaulted Chris, which is not "showing how you feel" in a constructive manner, but if they did, then the heat would be on Chris) 3:30. How is his argument of "normalizing" Alopecia through accepting jokes about baldness you don't want different from the kids that mocked the girl with Alopecia, does she just have to "take it on the chin" to normalize baldness through a disease?
Punching up
Yeah, Jeff's views on this are a confused mess.
You are all a bunch of wusses. 😂😂😂
Jeff Ross is so underrated. He seems like a humble ass dude who's just naturally funny.
Years ago, I had open heart surgery even though I was just 20 years old. My older sister took some time off of work to stay with me as I healed.
One afternoon, I was watching Comedy Central. It was a 30minute stand up from Jeffrey Ross.
I laughed so hard that my hurt my not-quite-healed wounds, scars, and ribs. I ended up crying out of pain.
I guess laughter wasn't the best medicine after all.
As I'm English I've only seen Geoff on a few random shorts that popped up, but in the last 6 minutes he seems like a man you could listen to for hours in conversation with yourself.
I like Jeff. Good guy.
I'm so glad Conan is still doing stuff!
Jeff Ross owning the space and air for 7 straight minutes and then at the very end Conan says the Denny's line and reclaims the night and internet. He had 1.2 seconds to process and react and comes back with a hilarious capper to once more solidify his scene stealing standing. It's okay to speed in the Cone Zone 'cause Cons is too fast, BayBee.
I started scrolling through comments just to see if anyone else noticed the Denny's line.
Jeff gets it when it comes to people volunteering for it. I'm not sure Rickles really did, but he also went out of his way to apologize to people off stage and he was a charming, gracious guy when he wasn't performing. The ones that really get it and are GOOD at it are NOT looking to hurt anyone and it's up to the targets to figure out how to be OK with that.
The joke was never about her having alopecia. She shaved her head, and she only has tiny tiny spots missing that can easily be covered. The joke was about her having a shaved head.
That doesn't make it better, he shouldn't have joked about her shaving her head either, this isn't like she made a fashion choice to shave her head without any reason, she's struggling with something that caused her to shave her head and he shouldn't have joked about it, Will Smith also shouldn't have slapped him, but the slap doesn't legitimizes Rock's behavior.
@@E_y_a_l it makes it way better cause its funny.
@@E_y_a_l lmao doesn't make it right? It's the format of the Oscar for years. The biggest stars gets lightly roasted at the Oscars.
@@E_y_a_l wtf? People are so humorless. Stay at home if harmless jokes hurt your ego. Everything stops at the slap. No joke should result in a slap
@@truthbringer-6748 Joking on a medical condition or its side effects isn't "lightly roasted", and before you'll tell me it isn't a serious condition so it's ok, maybe replay the part on the video where Ross talked about the 12 years old girl who committed suicide because people joked on her condition.
I love Jeff Ross. He's one part savage, one part humility. A good roaster gives as good as they take.
Will Smith laughed at Rock's joke until he noticed Jada wasn't laughing. That's when he flipped. So bizarre.
Yep he was on camera laughing at the GI Jane joke. Jada has also talked on TV about them having an open marriage, and even named a guy she had been sleeping with. She seems to have the majority of the power in that dysfunctional relationship.
@@Tom-yd1ur Plus they raised shitty children. Just unfortunate all around.
I rarely talk about comics as people because i don’t know them. I feel Ross is the utmost genuine of any celeb you’ve EVER seen or heard. Years of me studying this craft and enjoying my comic “ friends”… Id choose jeff ross above ALL to be mine if i could. It’s the highest praise I’ll ever give. Full stop.
Alopecia?
Jeff's skin is just roasted.
Well, she had some history with Chris Rock. Some years ago Rock was presenting the Oscars and Jada was supposedly boycotting the ceremony because Will Smith had not been nominated for a Best Actor Award. Rock said that "Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rianna´s panties.... I wasn´t invited!".
What a great, humble and healing perspective. Good on ya Jeff ❤
Who knew, Jeff Ross actually cares about people when he's tearing into them. :) I love you Jeff. I remember watching you roast people on the street when I was a kid.
This is much better. Just Conan having a calm, funny and intimate conversation with another guest. 👍
Haven't noticed the change until I read your comment. And yes it definitely is!!!
Are you just discovering the podcast now? If so lucky you! There's many great conversations.
@@chrish5136 No, I saw the other clips with Sona and the other dude, and this is much better.
@@chrish5136 no i am not but I think less Matt and Sona is a bit better for the conversations. For the intros they are funny but after all its conan who should interview the guest and not all three of them
The best take I've seen on the situation, and what a stand-up guy.
This was great. I'll always remember my first impression of Jeff Ross being a loser who found a niche but ever since his first joke I've been a fan. Awesome guy.
Same here, I don't know why I felt so negatively about him at first. Watching his visit to a prison to give the inmates a laugh and roasting them showed me that even though his biggest talent is insulting people he's actually a good guy.
Dude same, makes me feel like the POS for judging someone due to their profession. Getting better a realizing people can be dicks on stage but arent/shouldn't be off stage. This was great.
@@nothanks9174 probably Beauty Bias....
Ugly people "look" creepy and pretty people are "Good"..... it's a prejudice that sits deep in every human being regardless of race, gender or other class.
It's one of the least addressed prejudices despite being the most widespread and influential.
People have no idea how honestly funny and talented Jeff is.
I had a thought that Jada could have won that night if she'd have smiled and held a bicep up a la Rosie the Riveter.
She would have looked strong despite her condition and with Will's win later that night, they would have been praised a power couple, winning all around. No one would have brought up their marital problems.
Jeff Ross is one of the Underrated Great Ones.
Conan is king! 👑
I could listen to Sona laugh at Jeff Ross jokes all day!
Yeah, he was behaving like it was a "point of pride" when it was just a silly (and fairly lame) joke. When you can't laugh at yourself, you're doing something wrong. But anyone can (briefly) tune into Jada's little podcast to see how wrong things are going...these people are on another planet at this point. You're wealthy that long, you just lose perspective and think jokes can hurt your feelings or reputation, when it's just your bloated ego being bruised.
I think it’s less about hurting your ego and more about hurting “the brand.” I think the slap was a self inflicted torpedo to Smith’s brand and only put more of a negative light on Jada. Still, be rich for that long you think are untouchable.
I’ve never seen this side of Jeff, and now I have a whole new respect for him
If Will wants the world to forgive him he would have to have a roast
I think the best thing would be if Jayda was roasted and Will had to just sit and take it 🤷🏻♀️
Jeff is SPOT ON with this. Thank you
How fickle are people when losing hair is such a stigma, it is a shame, we put so much attention on appearance that people can be suicidal over their appearance to others.
Or more logically its a shame that others feel that they have the right to make fun of it.
@@garibaldi54 That was kinda what I meant, how people feel the need to look at someone and say they are not "good looking", who is to say what good looking is?
Why can't we just let people be?
This guy is the best. I went to a show and was feeling terrible I worried the whole time he was gonna roast me for something and just didn't feel up to it. I really appreciated him for it
I respect ✊ you for that!
Best take on that incident yet
They seem to be blaming Jada a lot for something Will did. Weird, pretty misogynistic.
@New Channel Pretty sure an eye roll didn’t Jedi mind trick will into attacking a man in front of millions of people.
I don’t think they’re being misogynists. It’s just what it looks like. But I agree with you that Jada was not to blame for Will’s actions. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t like her. But Will at the Oscars is the real Will. For anyone in doubt, read his memoir.
His memoir is chapter after chapter full of arrogance and entitlement. Always ignoring people’s wishes in lieu of what he believes they should like. Grandiose displays of affection.
His behavior at the Oscars was not out of character. He has several stories where you see that Will Smith. After his girlfriend cheated on him when he was tour, he stared into her eyes as he lit all of her stuff on fire in the front yard and busted up her windows.
The way he talked about women and behaved around them was so intense. He told stories about his family interactions that really made me feel for them. He is so intense and exhausting to be around. So much that I was surprised that at the end I felt a little sorry for Jada and could understand why she wanted to leave him.
I still don’t like Jada. And I think they’re both toxic. But someone else said it best. Will sucks the life out of every room he enters.
For anyone curious about his memoir, you can listen to the podcast Celebrity Memoir Book Club. They did an episode on his book.
That closing riff was a perfect encapsulation.
Well he mentioned that the people getting roasted need to be volunteers or else it's bullying, and I don't think Jada volunteered. Will Smith 100% shouldn't have slapped Chris Rock, but that also doesn't mean that Jada doesn't have the right to feel hurt. They can both be true.
Massive respect for Jeff Ross. Great take on alopecia and essentially how to make the world a little bit a better place.
In my opinion, I don't think it's fair to pin this on Jaida not taking a joke when all she did was roll her eyes. There are so many roasts we watch where people roll their eyes at a joke and no one says they couldn't handle it. I will admit I didn't catch any kind of signal to Will from her to let him know she was not okay with this, so I just see a woman roll her eyes (a valid reaction in any setting) and a man storm the stage of his own volition. That's not on her and she shouldn't be held to a standard where she is responsible for a man's actions right or wrong.
She didn't seem all too upset or surprised after he did it though, it's not that she tapped morse code to him secretly, but that in their relationship that is expected of him.
@@napalm2357 About that “being expected of him in their relationship.” I really don’t like Jada but I read his memoir and I listened to his series and I think it’s more that his insecurities triggered him to act on seeing her roll her eyes.
He has talked about feeling like a coward after he couldn’t defend his mom when he was a kid so I think him storming the stage was his way of proving his manliness. He has a history of people pleasing, way before Jada. Always ignoring people’s wishes in lieu of what he believes they should like. Grandiose displays of affection.

@@BbGun-lw5vi Sounds interesting, good points
What a great episode. I love when comics reminisce about other comics. Still missing Rickles in Norm
My sister has alopecia and lost all her hair in middle school and she said “He shouldn’t have slapped him but it felt good to feel represented”
Does that mean, she appreciated Will and perhaps Jada "condemning" Chris' joke?
