Jeff Ross has set his sights on his next roast victims – and they’re none other than Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
Ross, who co-hosted the roast of Tom Brady in May, is known as the ‘Roastmaster General,’ with his brutal swipe at Patriots owner Robert Kraft making waves at the Netflix event last year.
And with the Chiefs preparing to face the Eagles in this weekend’s Super Bowl, Ross revealed on radio row that he’s hoping to see Mahomes and Kelce have their feet held towards the fire next.
‘I’d love to see Mahomes and Kelce get roasted,’ said the comedian, who is hosting ‘Jeff Ross Roasts New Orleans’ on Friday night with Jeff Beacher. I’ think they’d be great. LeBron when he retires would be a great roast.’
However, Ross offered an interesting take on the man most basketball fans consider the greatest NBA player of all-time.
‘Michael Jordan probably can’t take it,’ he said. ‘I heard he’s very sensitive, that would be a good one.’

‘Mahomes, the last time I saw him, the last time I was on stage with a microphone, Travis came towards me, and Mahomes went the other way,’ he continued. ‘So Travis likes the likes the heat. And Mahomes is like ‘Nah, nah, I don’t need the smoke right now.”
Ross, as he is known to do, mᴀssively pushed the envelope during the Brady roast, as he made a ‘happy ending’ joke at the expense of Kraft.
‘Tom became a Patriot, moved up to New England, and on the first day of training camp, that scrawny rookie famously walked into the owner Robert Kraft’s office and said, I’m the greatest decision your organization has ever made… would you like a mᴀssage,’ Ross joked.
The joke was a reference to when Kraft was one of 25 people facing a misdemeanor charge for soliciting prosтιтution at a Florida day spa back in February 2019.

Brady then walked on stage and said ‘Don’t say that s**t again,’ but Ross -who later told TMZ that the ex-quarterback was joking – complimented his thick skin on Friday.
‘I don’t think people realize what a good sport – he should get the Nobel Peace Prize for laughing at all those jokes. ‘That was a very harsh roast, and he laughed for three hours so we could all forget our own problems. I love em.’
Ross has participated in the roasts of Alec Baldwin, Donald Trump, Justin Bieber and more.
But athletes, ultimately are his favorite people to prod.
‘Athletes actually have the best sense of humor, but it’s rock stars and actors that get offended,’ he said. ‘Athletes are so used to growing up in locker rooms, listening to smack talk, dishing it out, taking it.’
Kelce and Mahomes may yet be roasted by Ross, but they’ll be focused on Sunday’s Super Bowl first.
