This coming Memorial Day, some of history’s most notable figures are being brought back to life just to get put in the crosshairs of the Roastmaster General Jeff Ross and the perfect dais for said historical figure (i.e. Anne Frank roasting Hitler) on Historical Roasts.

The Netflix TV adaptation of Eddie Furth, Ryan Pigg, and Samee Junio’s live show will feature the likes of Rosa Parks (Sasheer Zamata), Freddie Mercury (James Adomian), the aforementioned Hitler (Gilbert Gottfried), and more. This should be one of the more spicy history lessons that you’ve ever gotten.

Get a taste of it all in the trailer here, then look for all episodes to start streaming May 27th on Netflix.

Netflix Is Getting Into Comedy Roasts by Ordering “Historical Roasts” to Series and Having Jeff Ross Attached

Well, it looks like Comedy Central isn’t the only place you’ll be able to find comedy roasts anymore.

Historical Roast (and Fictional Roast), for a few years now, have been putting the feet of anything from WWII to Shakespeare to Disney Princesses to the fire for fun on stages across LA in appropriate costumes (including Nerdmelt, The Comedy Store, and Dynasty Typewriter).

Given the success of Roast Battle, we thought it only a matter of time before this show created by Eddie Furth, Ryan Pigg, and Samee Junio got picked up somewhere, which just happened to be Netflix.

Similar to the way that Roastmaster General Jeff Ross brought Roast Battle to the forefront, Ross will have his stamp on the six episodes ordered for Historical Roasts.

We’ll keep our ears to the ground for when tapings happen and let you know ASAP.
