Kevin Hart, Martha Stewart, Shaquille O'Neal, Jeffrey Ross, Hannibal Buress, Will Ferrell, and many others all took the stage Saturday night to joke about Bieber's career, love life, fans, and legal mishaps to a star-studded crowd that included Dave Chappelle, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, John Mayer, Jaden Smith, Kendall Jenner, and Kourtney Kardashian.

Hart added that Bieber "has the voice and the driving skills of Stevie Wonder," and is definitely not as gangster as he acts: "Orlando Bloom took a swing at you; you have a perfume called Girlfriend; you threw eggs at a house - not gangsta."
Hart concluded with a zinger about Bieber's ex-girlfriend: "Selena Gomez couldn't be here tonight. Just because she didn't want to be here."

Shaq added: "Justin is worth $200 million, and in prison, that's worth four packs of Kool."

"The only place people will be following you in jail is into the shower," she joked, referencing Bieber's 60 million Twitter followers.

He joked that Bieber is "a full-grown man who works and loves and makes things with his hands," adding, "He sings to 9-year-olds, and his hair is like a gay figure skater."
Comedian Jeff Ross was especially brutal:

"Selena Gomez wanted to be here, but she's dating men now. Is it true you dumped her because she grew a mustache before you? Selena Gomez had sex with [you]... proving Mexicans will do the disgusting jobs Americans just won't do."
"If Anne Frank had heard your music, she would've Uber'd to Auschwitz." Yikes.
Ross ended with this nugget: "Justin, you have such a huge career behind you."
The comedians didn't only roast Justin Bieber, they were hard on each other too.

But Bieber took it all in stride.

And then, in a serious turn, Bieber apologized for his past behavior.
Acknowledging he "turned a lot of people off" over the years, Bieber explained, "There was no preparing me for this life. I got thrown into this at 12 years old… I lost some of my best qualities. Things I've done that don't define who I am. I look forward to being someone you're proud of. Someone close to me once said how you rise from a fall is how you are truly defined as a man."
Bieber concluded his speech by saying, "You have my word, I will not end up broken, pathetic, bitter, or sitting on someone else's roast. I'm at a moment of change. This is a new day."
