The Burn with Jeff Ross is a Comedy Central show hosted by Jeff Ross, the "Roastmaster General." The show premiered on August 14th, 2012, and ran for two seasons, featuring a total of 18 episodes. The premise of the show is simple: each episode is devoted to "roasting" a different topic, such as social media, politics, or sports. Ross and a panel of comedians riff on the subject matter, taking aim at everything from celebrities to pop culture trends.

The show often features pre-taped segments in which Ross talks to people on the street, asking them for their opinions on the topics being roasted. These segments are interspersed with the live panel discussions, adding a bit of variety to the show's format.

The panelists on The Burn are a rotating cast of comedians, many of whom are familiar faces in the world of stand-up. Some of the regulars include Lisa Lampanelli, Jim Norton, and Amy Schumer, although there are plenty of other comedians who make appearances throughout the series.

One of the show's standout features is Ross himself. The comedian is known for his quick wit and sharp tongue, and he brings those skills to bear on The Burn, both as a solo host and as a member of the panel. Ross often serves as a kind of mediator, keeping the discussion flowing and making sure that each panelist gets a chance to weigh in.

At times, the roasting can be quite brutal, with panelists taking shots at each other's appearances, personal lives, and comedy careers. However, the show never feels mean-spirited, and it's clear that the comedians are all having a good time poking fun at each other.

One of the highlights of the show is when Ross brings out the "Roaster Coaster," a giant wheel with different topics written on it. Ross and his panelists take turns spinning the wheel and roasting whatever topic it lands on, leading to some truly hilarious moments.

Overall, The Burn with Jeff Ross is a fun and irreverent show that offers a unique spin on the world of comedy. While it may not be for everyone (particularly those who are easily offended), fans of the roast comedy genre will find plenty to enjoy here.
