Kevin Hart tells Kimmel the Justin Bieber roast 'got a little rough'

Kevin Hart was MC at the Justin Bieber roast that taped on Comedy Central last weekend, and "it got a little rough," he told Jimmy Kimmel at his live show Monday night from South by Southwest. Bieber looked like he was going to cry on several occasions, "but I will say this," Hart added: At the end, "Justin Bieber stood on stage, and he gave his rebuttal, and at the end of it, it was more about him acknowledging all the stuff that he's done and saying he's now at a different place in his life, he's ready to mature and move on..... Let me be an adult, let me be a man now."

"This is like his bar mitzvah," Kimmel said. Hart laughed, made an odd circumcision joke, then explained how strange it felt to be cut down to size by Martha Stewart, who also performed at the roast. To be fair, Stewart is very tall. Watch Hart talk Bieber below. —Peter Weber
