Sheryl Underwood on Tony Hinchcliffe Jokes, Roast Reaction, & Genius of Bernie Mac
What was said
"I kept asking God on that stage, give me the words. Give me the words that the audience needs me to say. I had a piece of paper and an ink pen, and me and Tony are sitting next to each other, and we're laughing and talking. And I'm writing little notes. And I'm getting to know him."
Underwood reveals she was improvising and praying in real time during the Kevin Hart Roast, sitting next to Hinchcliffe with paper and pen, writing new material as the show unfolded. This contradicts the perception that roasts are entirely scripted and shows the high-wire act comedians perform live.
