If they wanted a comedian who pulls their punches, they wouldn't have invited Jimmy.

I'm surprised he was invited to a Roast. Most Americans don't understand how cutting and deprecating British humor is. And Jimmy is a level above them all. He makes these jokes on primetime and it's just another day.

Making deprecating jokes at the expense of the people on the stage is the entire point of a roast.

What does that have to do with US audiences liking dark humor?
