Tony Hinchcliffe mocks Sheryl Underwood’s late husband’s suicide during Kevin Hart roast

Tony Hinchcliffe and Shane Gillis made ruthless jokes about Sheryl Underwood’s husband’s suicide during Netflix’s “The Roast of Kevin Hart.”

“Her husband committed suicide 3 years into the marriage. I’ve been sitting next to her for 2 hours and I have to ask: how did he last that long?” Hinchcliffe quipped while onstage at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on Sunday.

The camera cut to Underwood, 62, hysterically laughing in the audience.

Gillis, who hosted the roast, also aimed the tragedy earlier in the show.

“Sheryl’s husband killed himself. Apparently, Black does crack if it’s married to Sheryl and jumps off a f–king roof,” he said, as Underwood laughed.

Gillis, 38, also quipped, “I do it from the balcony. I do it from the upper decks. F–k all these people down here.”

In his next joke, he said, “The Golden State Warriors logo is a bridge. Don’t show that to Sheryl’s husband. Seriously, keep that bridge away from Sheryl’s husband.”

As Underwood kept laughing, Gillis told the crowd, “I called her yesterday. Shut up. I felt terrible about that. I had to call her.

“She was crazy about it. She was like, ‘You gonna make fun of my husband who fell off a bridge?’ I was like, ‘Yup,'” he said with a smile.

Hinchcliffe’s joke sparked backlash on social media.

“That was harsh,” one person wrote on X, while someone else said, “That’s just not funny at all.”

Another fan tweeted, “Is this supposed to be funny? He went too far with that statement.”

“This is in bad taste,” a different person wrote.

Page Six has reached out to Underwood’s rep for comment.

Underwood and her husband, whose name she’s never revealed, were married for three years when he took his own life in 1990.

She opened up about his death during a discussion about Kate Spade’s suicide on “The Talk” in 2018.

“I’m kinda emotional about this because, as you know, my husband killed himself,” a teary-eyed Underwood told her co-hosts.

“You will never know. For people who think they know. You’ll never know if it’s clinical depression. You’ll never know if it’s financial stress,” the comedian added.

Underwood also revealed that her husband “left a note” for her before he died.

“And what the note does to the person who is still alive is, it shows that the person who is no longer alive has now had the final word,” she stated. “There’s nothing you can do about it now.”

“And that pain … it doesn’t go away,” she added.
