The room

The hall with the roast title on the main LED wall — The title on the main wall. Not a side room.

T.J. Miller mid-roast while Justin Sun cracks up in his chair — T.J. Miller works. The target enjoys it — that’s the format.

Justin Sun laughing during his roast — The roastee, mid-burn. This is what taking it well looks like.

Audience packed shoulder to shoulder, phones raised and filming — Every phone up. The room clips itself.

The room seen from the stage — every seat taken and the aisles full — Thirty-one minutes in. Nobody had left.

The stage: podium, the subject seated, Token2049 lettering along the edge — The dais. One chair matters more than the others.

T.J. Miller working the room from the podium — Sixty minutes, written and punched up for weeks.

Justin Sun holding the microphone during his rebuttal — The rebuttal. The last word is always the roastee’s.

T.J. Miller and Justin Sun trading lines on stage, both holding microphones — Both microphones live. Everyone who spoke is now a target.

What happened

Thirty-five minutes.
Nobody left.

October 2, 2025. Day two of Token2049 Singapore, 3:40 PM, the BingX Labs Stage at Marina Bay Sands. T.J. Miller held nothing back. Jarred Winn held the podium. Justin Sun — billionaire, space tourist, owner of a $6.2 million banana — took the chair.

The room filled past capacity before the cold open. Attendees stood along the walls, then filled the hallway outside, listening through the doors. Miller worked the target for half an hour while Sun laughed at every shot — and then, per the format's one sacred rule, Sun took the microphone and got the last word.

By that evening the roastee had posted his thanks and publicly nominated the next target. The conference called it the best-received session of the program and invited TokenRoast back as a recurring property. Edition II is set for October 2026.

The material

Two shots,
for the record.

“Bill Gates would lose money if he bent over to pick up a $100 bill. Justin Sun would lose money if he came through on any of his promises.”
— T.J. Miller

“Justin, seeing you here today, I had no idea you were short. While it's rare to see a short crypto founder, we all always knew you weren't long.”
— Jarred Winn · the roastee's own favorite — he said so after the show

The tape

Edition I was captured by the venue and the crowd. From Edition II forward, TokenRoast runs its own multi-camera capture — the clip library is the franchise.
