Michael Che is roasting the “Roast of Kevin Hart.”

The comedian and “Saturday Night Live” star was originally slated to perform at the live Netflix event on Sunday, two sources involved in the production tell Variety, but he ended up pulling out due to scheduling difficulties with “SNL.” (Che was not alone — sources say the roast lineup had undergone quite a bit of shuffling, with several last-minute additions and dropouts.)
