Griffin, who has already laid the foundation for a future stand-up career, appeared on Tuesday night’s episode of “Roast Battle” to compete against Jeff Ross, often called “The Roastmaster General” for his cold-blooded shots at multiple Comedy Central roasts.

Despite Griffin’s best effort, Ross took home the win. The panel of judges (comedians Anthony Jeselnik, Nikki Glaser and Pete Davidson) voted 2-1 in favor of Ross, though Griffin received high marks for his work.
