In June of 2015, insult comic Jeff Ross appeared on Conan to promote his latest controversial comedy special, this one filmed inside of a Texas prison earlier that year. The comedian explained that the special, Jeff Ross Roasts Criminals: Live at Brazos County Jail, was an attempt to “put a human face on the inmate in America.”
“If you can laugh at yourself, you’re one step closer to freedom,” Mr Ross told host Conan O’Brien.
