He gained significant popularity through his appearances on Comedy Central, particularly for his contributions to the Comedy Central Roasts. Over the years, Ross has remained actively involved in various entertainment projects, showcasing his multifaceted talent as a performer, writer, and director.
Ross has built a career around sharp wit and a bold comedic style, often referred to as "insult comedy." He has become a staple of celebrity roast culture, having participated in numerous Comedy Central Roasts featuring a range of high-profile celebrities. Utilizing a “sandwich” approach — cushioning harsher jokes with lighter, affectionate commentary — Ross’s roasts strike a balance between edgy humor and respectful satire.
In addition to his stand-up and television appearances, Ross directed a documentary titled "Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie," based on his 2003 USO tour to Iraq, where he performed for American troops. The film was well received and marked a deeper, more purposeful engagement with his audience.
In 2009, Ross released a memoir and comedic commentary titled I Only Roast the Ones I Love. The book offers a behind-the-scenes look at his career, personal experiences, and insights into the art of roasting. With wit and candor, it elaborates on his passion for the genre and his admiration for the personalities he skewers.
Aside from his comedy and writing, Ross has made appearances in films and television series. Notably, he acted in the 1996 comedy film Celtic Pride. Over the years, he has continued to diversify his roles and participate in both comedic and documentary-style programming.

He has described himself as “old-fashioned” and believes in meaningful, long-term relationships. Despite public speculation regarding his romantic interests, Ross has expressed that he is still in search of true love and marriage.
While some critics have questioned aspects of his personal life, citing rumors of past relationships, Ross has downplayed such claims. He often jokes about relationships and romance during his performances but maintains that comedy, not controversy, characterizes his public identity. Female friends and peers have occasionally commented on his lifestyle, but Ross generally chooses to keep such matters out of the limelight.
Beyond comedy, Ross is also known for supporting charitable causes. He has been involved in charity-driven productions and has used his public platform to raise awareness and financial support for various communities.
