Ross most recently served as Roast Master General on Comedy Central's Roast of James Franco, while other blistering performances at celebrity roasts include honoring stars like Trump, Joan Rivers, Hugh Hefner, Pamela Anderson and Charlie Sheen. He is currently wrapping up the Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festivals with Dave Chappelle and the Flight of the Conchords that toured across the country.

Ross' own Comedy Central series, The Burn, skewers the week's hot topics with fellow comics, as they head into the field to take aim at public figures and current events. Having appeared in the last ten Comedy Central Roasts, Ross wrote his first book, "I Only Roast the Ones I Love: Busting Balls without Burning Bridges."

Ross continues to perform regularly for American men and women in uniform stationed all over the world. As a filmmaker, his 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 his life-changing experience entertaining U.S. troops stationed around Iraq.
