Ready for battle! Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas are prepared to bring the heat — and the laughs — in their Netflix comedy special, Jonas Brothers Family Roast.
“Jonas Brothers. Pop culture icons. Music superstars. And so far up their asses they can’t see the light. Holy, s—t,” a voiceover said in the Friday, November 19, promo for the TV event. “They are Grammy nominated, multi-platinum recording artists who have countless awards and accolades. But let’s be honest, a Grammy nom isn’t a Grammy win. Am I right?”
During the teaser, the “Sucker” singers walked through a soundstage, trying to stay positive about their roast as the voice continued to slam them.
“The truth of the matter is, brotherhood is all about being able to talk s—t. Roasting is fair game when you’re family,” the ominous speaker added, to which the men yelled, “Yeah, but you’re not our family, dude!”
The Jonas Brothers formed their band in 2005 and quickly grew to fame partially because of the success of their Disney Channel series, Jonas, which ran from 2009 to 2010. The trio released four albums from 2006 to 2009 before taking a hiatus in 2011.
The brothers pursued solo careers and ventures outside of music before announcing in October 2013 that they were splitting. In February 2019, the trio revealed they were reuniting for their fifth studio album, Happiness Begins, which was released five months later.
Kevin, Joe and Nick kicked off their live comeback shows with the Remember This Tour in August. Two months later, the men announced their Jonas Brothers Family Roast, which is set to release in November.
“Kind of scared and kind of excited 
,” Kevin, 34, wrote via Instagram alongside a teaser clip for the comedy appearance.
The following month, Kevin teased the roast, captioning another sneak peek video, “Oh brother, this is gonna be good 
.” Joe, 32, also celebrated the funny special, writing, “Can’t wait for everyone to see #JonasBrothersFamilyRoast.”
Kevin and Joe serve as executive producers on the Netflix special alongside their younger brother Nick, 29. They will also take turns trolling each other between bits by special guests and their loved ones.

The King of Staten Island actor gushed over his Jonas Brothers super fan status in a November 10 teaser for the upcoming roast. “I listen to the Jonas Brothers every time I’m in a supermarket,” Davidson, 28, said in the Netflix clip while wearing an “I love Jonas” tee. He quieted the audience, asking for them to “show some respect” before commenting on Nick’s acting career. “Nick’s a legit actor now, he’s won everything from a Kid’s Choice Award to a Teen Choice Award,” the comedian said as the Jumanji star cracked up on stage. “Nick even had a hit called ‘Jealous,’ although it would’ve been way more believable if Kevin were singing it.” Netflix
The Voice coach trolled the trio for not being the Beatles in an original song from the special. “They made a lot of money / Made a lot of girls scream / Sold out shows wherever they go / I wrote a song to tell them they’re my favorite band / I wish they could hear it, but they’re not here today,” Legend, 42, sang in a clip released on November 19. “No John, Paul, George or Ringo / Just Joe, Nick, I wanna say, Keith / You’re not quiet the Beatles." The “All of Me” crooner continued: “You’re pretty darn handsome, and better than Hanson, but you’ll never be the Beatles, nice try / You can take them home to granny, but they never won a Grammy.” Netflix
Sophie Turner, Priyanka Chopra and Danielle Jonas will all be in attendance and ready to put their husbands in the hotseat. “They come swinging,” Joe told Entertainment Weekly on November 18, of the guests who grill them, noting their wives have “the most ammunition here of everyone who's going to be up on the stage.” Shutterstock(3)
Joe, Nick and Kevin revealed to EW that there’s not “really” anything off limits when it comes to the jokes. “We've had conversations [about] boundaries but we're also brothers,” Joe said of the siblings’ own jokes about one another. “Boundaries schmoundaries. We know what we can and cannot do and, also, we're not trying to break the band up again. My jokes are fun and there's a couple gut punches. You gotta go for it.” Netflix
