Marcello Hernandez roasts Jake Paul during ESPY Awards hosting

Summary

Marcello Hernandez hosted the 2026 ESPY Awards in New York City, delivering a comedic monologue that included pointed jabs at Jake Paul. Hernandez joked that Paul should consider fighting his father and step-father, both over 50, a reference to Paul’s choice of older opponents. This comes amid criticism of Paul’s boxing career, where he has faced fighters past their prime.
