Dustin Lynch Hires Comedian To Roast Luke Bryan

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

When Luke Bryan introduced his buddy Dustin Lynch to perform at the 2023 “Crash My Playa” weekend last year, some felt he went too far. Some fans and people in the crowd said Bryan went overboard and that some of his jokes were “uncalled for.” Bryan said in the much-talked-about introduction, “No one has drank more liquor. No one has vomited more. No one has taken more drugs. And no one has taken more IVs. No one has passed more STD tests than this next gentleman.”

A year later, at last week’s “Crash My Playa,” Dustin got Luke back in a big way by hiring comedian Jeffrey Ross to roast Bryan and do the intro for him.

Lynch said from the stage after Luke joined him, saying, “I don’t deserve this,” “I have hired the best roaster of all time to roast you in front of all of these people.”

The roasting intro by Ross went like this:

“I hope you don’t mind me crashing the play. It’s an honor to introduce who I like to call the other country singer on TV who wasn’t hot enough to marry Gwen Stefani. He’s got a new single out called ‘Southern and Slow.’ Congrats, Luke, for finally writing something autobiographical.”

Ross asked the crowd, “Do you ever wonder what a Mexican music festival hosted by Beavis and Butthead would look like? Here it is. Please welcome the number 108 on Rolling Stone’s top 100 country singers of all time. Make it loud in the house for the legend himself, Luke Bryan!”

Dustin posted the intro to his Instagram. The video was captioned, “We were promised an epic introduction for @lukebryan’s first night at #CrashMyPlaya and @dustinlynchmusic delivered!! Check out their reaction to this roast from the one and only @therealjeffreyross.”

Many fans reacted to the post and video clip, including one who wrote, “@therealjeffreyross is the GOAT!” Another fan commented, ‘That is awesome, too funny.” One more fan said, “This was epic.”

6 Country Superstars That Should Play Super Bowl Halftime

  • Luke Bryan

    Luke is all about having a good time on stage, and his energy and hit songs make for a great show for his double-booked sold-out arena shows. He has also become a Las Vegas performer in the last couple of years, which helps. When we interviewed Bryan recently, he shared his thoughts on if he ever got asked to play a Super Bowl halftime show. He told us, “I think I would certainly love the opportunity to do a Super Bowl Halftime show. I think the beauty of someone in that role, if it were me, I would bring everybody to the party. A lot of special guests, a lot of surprises. If I got asked, certainly Jason Aldean would be my first call.”

  • Keith Urban

    This journalist has loved Keith Urban for his music and the generally lovely and considerate guy he is since the day I met him at an interview before he became a superstar in the early 2000s. So, yes, I am biased when it comes to Urban. That being said, his shows are legendary, and with his guitar skills, Keith would make country music proud at the Super Bowl halftime show. His Las Vegas residency sells out every year, and imagine, with an Oscar-winning wife (Nicole Kidman) to cheer him on, how Hollywood would come out to support a Keith Urban halftime show.

  • Blake Shelton

    One of country music’s biggest stars and personalities, Blake would be great at the Super Bowl halftime show, especially if his wife, Gwen Stefani, took the stage with her man. Shelton is one of country music’s biggest NFL fans; specifically, he is a die-hard Arizona Cardinals fan.

  • Morgan Wallen

    Morgan’s star is getting so big in country music, and this guy keeps fans screaming for more in multiple nights of stadium shows in big cities all over the country. If Wallen played the Super Bowl halftime show, you can bet he would more than likely have his buddies HARDY, Ernest, and Bailey Zimmerman also on the show.

  • Luke Combs

    Luke knows how to keep a stadium of fans hanging on his every word at his double night booked stadium shows all over the country, so he is a natural to play the Super Bowl halftime show. Just a handful of years into his massive career and three CMA Entertainer of the Year awards already under his belt, he is a no-brainer for the halftime show. Can you imagine the excitement of the Super Bowl crowd when he plays his wild “Beer Never Broke My Heart” encore?

  • Carrie Underwood -

    With her ties to Sunday Night Football and her love of the game and the players, Carrie would be great at the Super Bowl Halftime show. Her energetic performance would undoubtedly include some of her big rocker friends like Axl Rose and Joan Jett. Underwood would more than likely also have some serious aerial moves like she did when she performed on her Denim & Rhinestone tour.
