About Jeff Ross
Jeff Ross built his career on insult comedy, and on the roast above all. He started doing stand-up in 1989 after taking a comedy class, and in 1995 he was invited onto the dais for the New York Friars Club roast of Steven Seagal. He became a fixture there, and the Friars Club gave him the title Roastmaster General, which has followed him ever since.
From the Pamela Anderson roast in 2005 to the Alec Baldwin roast in 2019 he sat on the dais at every Comedy Central roast. He also built programmes of his own around the format: The Burn with Jeff Ross, Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle, the specials Jeff Ross Roasts Criminals: Live from Brazos County Jail and Jeff Ross Roasts Cops, and the Netflix series Historical Roasts, where he hosts roasts of figures from the past. For Netflix he also made Bumping Mics with Jeff Ross & Dave Attell.
Away from the dais he directed and produced the documentary Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie, wrote the book I Only Roast the Ones I Love, published in 2009, and acted in Six Feet Under, Weeds and Crashing. In 2025 he took the one-man show Take A Banana For The Ride to Broadway.
