About the Show

The controversial tongue-in-cheek roast continues this year bringing its trademark irreverent and humorous look back at the past year in pop culture. The Lawman is the mastermind and he’s back to track down the vilest foes who will face a reckoning — and possibly a noose!

This year, the show takes jabs at a wealth of notable headlines. Amongst all of the worthy candidates, just one will be deemed the worst and become the victim of this year’s hanging. If you’re dying to find out who ends up at the business end of this year’s noose, you’ll have to check out our full video below. Candidates for consideration in this year’s show include Disney-owned Star Wars including the Mandalorian and Grogu, Spider-Man, Spider Noir, Supergirl, Space Balls, King of the Hill, aging Horror icons like Freddy Krueger and Jason, The Odyssey, Taco Bell lettuce, Michael Jackson, Toy Story 5, Fallout, One Piece, Stranger Things, Kpop Demmon lHunters, Obsession, Flock Safety, and Masters of the Universe which included He-Man and this year’s main villain: Skeletor who was thwarted in part by the not security team. Plus, there was a great tribute to both the late Dolly Parton and Tim Curry in the finale.
