"“We did ask Paul McCartney at one point,” he told Variety. “To me, that would be a fantasy roast. Paul McCartney doesn't need anything, but a Paul McCartney roast would be good for the world. It would be so funny to me because he is so loved.”"
"Somebody (Netflix) is knocking at the door, but Paul McCartney won't let 'em in. According to self-proclaimed roastmaster general Jeff Ross, the streamer reached out to Sir Paul as a potential roastee. "We did ask Paul McCartney at one point," he told Variety."
"It's unclear why Paul McCartney declined to be roasted. Loyalty to Lorne? It could be distaste for the Netflix roast crew like Ross, Shane Gillis, and Tony Hinchcliffe. Maybe he's too busy reuniting Rush. Or it's possible only one guy could really razz McCartney, and that was John Lennon."
