Jeffery Ross kept true to his tittle of "Roastmaster General" on Comedy Central's Roast of
James Franco alongside other comedian heavy hitters
Sarah Silverman,
Seth Rogen,
Jonah Hill,
Bill Hader, and
Andy Samberg! Ross's other blistering performances at celebrity roasts honoring mega stars like
Joan Rivers,
Hugh Hefner,
Pamela Anderson,
Jerry Stiller,
Drew Carey, Shaquille O'Neal,
David Hasselhoff,
Charlie Sheen, and
Donald Trump has crowned him as a "One-Man Verbal Assault Unit." Ross was also a part of the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festivals with Dave Chappelle and the Flight of the Conchords that toured across America. Jeff was a celebrity guest mentor on this past season's "Last Comic Standing" as he helped the finalist prepare for a roast of
Gilbert Gottfried. Last year Jeff also had the opportunity to take on the role of
Francis Scott Key in an episode of Drink History.
Jeff's own Comedy Central TV show called "The Burn" finds him joined by a group of fellow comics to skewer the week's hot topics and head into the field to take aim at public figures and current events. Ross, who has appeared in the last ten Comedy Central Roasts, was also one of the executive producers of the show. When asked about "The Burn" Ross said "My mission is clear. To rip the world a new asshole one crack at a time."
Ross wrote his first book, "I Only Roast the Ones I Love: Busting Balls without Burning Bridges" by Simon Spotlight Entertainment, a division of Simon & Schuster and is now available in Paperback.
Jeff continues to perform regularly for American men and women in uniform stationed all over the world. As a filmmaker, Jeff's directorial debut, "Patriot Act: A
Jeffrey Ross Home Movie" nabbed the best feature film award at the Montreal Comedy Festival. The film is a funny and poignant documentary that captures Jeff's life changing experience entertaining U.S. troops stationed around Iraq.
