The comedian ripped into the pair during a recent appearance on Deon Cole’s Funny Knowing You podcast, where she accused both comics of crossing the line during the event.
'I knew enough about Tony and Shane - they’re racists, they’re bigots, they’re sexist,’ Handler said. 'I don’t find those jokes funny. Lynching Black people is not a joke. It’s worse than rape.’
The star also called out jokes involving Sherryl Underwood’s late husband.

'There was so much disgustingness, I knew it was gonna be a gross vibe,' she claimed.

'Chelsea is a Zionist. I’m not saying that’s good or bad. Speaking of dead kids, she’s a big fan of abortions. Chelsea’s been scraped more times than the grill at Benihana,’ Gillis said during the set.
He then added: 'Speaking of tossing tiny shrimp into a child’s mouth, Chelsea Handler went to dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s house in 2010.'

At the roast, Handler insulted Hinchcliffe, who had referred to her earlier in the evening as a ‘cold frigid bitch'
While Handler avoided directly responding to Gillis’ Epstein joke during the roast itself, she did make pointed references to his past controversy surrounding anti-Asian slurs that led to his firing from Saturday Night Live
Handler, however, did not stay quiet during her own set and fired back at both comics with a string of blistering insults aimed especially at Hinchcliffe, who had referred to her earlier in the evening as a ‘cold frigid bitch.’
‘Tony and Shane, this must be so exciting for you guys. Usually on Sunday nights, you just burn a cross on someone’s lawn, and tonight you get to roast a whole Black guy… If you’re here tonight, who’s keeping Joe Rogan’s balls warm in their mouth?’ she quipped.
She continued her takedown of Hinchcliffe with: ‘Tony is what happens when women don’t have safe access to abortion care… I didn’t know veneers came in deli mustard yellow. You must be using Crest White Supremacist Strips.’
‘Tony, you have the face of a school shooter and the personality of someone who gets shot first,’ she added.
While Handler avoided directly responding to Gillis’ Epstein joke during the roast itself, she did make pointed references to his past controversy surrounding anti-Asian slurs that led to his firing from Saturday Night Live before he ever appeared on the show.
‘Shane, just so you know Judaism and Zionism are two different things,’ she said. ‘Kind of like how Chinatown and Koreatown are two different things, but your favorite slur works in both places.’
Handler then added: ‘Shane has been accused of being anti-Asian which is ironic, considering he has the complexion and physique of a steamed dumpling.’
The jab appeared to land with Gillis himself, who could be seen laughing at the remark.
Meanwhile, Hart has defended Hinchcliffe, praising the comic’s roast performance and insisting he ‘understood the assignment.’
‘He was relentless as he always is, but funny,’ Hart said following criticism surrounding the special.
