- Pete Davidson's writer partner, Dave Sirus, revealed 11 jokes he said were cut from the *SNL* alum's set at *The Roast of Kevin Hart*.

- Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent were the subject of many of the nixed quips.

- Davidson still drew groans — and laughs — for a joke about Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Pete Davidson might've landed in a bit of hot water after his recent roast joke about controversial conservative figure Charlie Kirk's assassination, but the *Saturday Night Live* alum was apparently ready to fan certain flames even more at Netflix's *The Roast of Kevin Hart*, with a round of jokes his writing partner has claimed weren't ultimately used in his set.

In a series of Threads posts, Dave Sirus listed several quips he said were cut over the weekend from Davidson's segment of the comedy special, including several jokes about fellow attendees Chelsea Handler (and her reported relationship with rapper 50 Cent), Tony Hinchcliffe, and more.

Sirus first posted jokes that focused on the evening's star, actor Kevin Hart, who "is the Michael Jordan of baseball of comedy," one nixed joke said.

"Kevin’s in superhero shape, he could star in *Wakanda 4’11,*" Sirus wrote, before adding another joke about Hart's September 2019 car accident: "Kevin got drunk and hit that tree so hard he had to stop making cookies in it."

Draymond Green, Handler, and 50 Cent were the subjects of the next round of jokes Sirus posted.

"Draymond is probably 4 to 5 years from being in the Hall of Fame and 45 minutes from being in Chelsea Handler," Sirus wrote. "Draymond Green sounds like someone told my uncle: quick, make up a black name."

He continued, "All jokes aside Chelsea Handler is a killer, specifically if you believe life starts at conception. Chelsea f---ed 50 Cent so long ago The Magic Stick was what they called a musket."

Finally, he posted several more bits that didn't make it into the final version of Davidson's performance during the special.

"You may know Tony Hinchcliffe from walking through his mouth to enter amusement parks," Sirus said.

"I first met Big Jay when I was 16 years old. Jay, must be nice to finally hear those words outside a courtroom huh?" he continued, before turning his attention back to Handler for the final two jokes.

"Yes Chelsea aborted a fetus, and he’s here tonight, Jeff [Ross], take a bow," wrote Sirus. "Oh man, I’m going to hell for that one, Chelsea anything you want me to say to your kids while I’m there?"

** has reached out to a representative for Davidson for comment on the jokes Sirus said were cut from the show.

Though the aforementioned jokes were reportedly cut from the set, Davidson's joke about Kirk, who was shot and killed while speaking at a public event in Utah in September 2025, drew ire from the polarizing figure's friends and current *Charlie Kirk Show *team members.

At the event, Davidson said of Hinchcliffe (who appeared on the Donald Trump presidential election trail in 2024): "Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he definitely has been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat." In response, Andrew Kolvet said, "I don't think it was funny, and when I saw the clip this morning, my instinct was, I just cringed."

On Monday's episode of the *Charlie Kirk Show *podcast, Kirk's friends and team members Andrew Kolvet, Blake Neff, and Daisy Phelps slammed Davidson's material as "distasteful" at the event.

"It's not that we don't love humor and we can't laugh along with actually funny jokes," Kolvet admitted. "This is about somebody who was murdered in really the most grotesque, public way imaginable, and he happens to be our close friend."
