With major releases already shaping his 2026, from his upcoming album 'The Great Divide' to his Netflix documentary Out of Body, Noah Kahan has remained firmly in the spotlight. However, amid all the anticipation, the singer likely did not expect this kind of headline moment. In a twist no rollout could script, Kahan found himself getting hilariously roasted by a room full of kids on Celebrity Substitute.

On Wednesday, April 1, the Kahan, 29, appeared on the latest episode of Celebrity Substitute, where he walked straight into an unapologetically honest classroom. Wasting no time, he asked if he was “chopped,” and the kids responded with a loud, unfiltered chorus of “yes,” turning the moment into pure, unscripted chaos.

"I have a couple questions. First question is am I chopped?," Kahan said. "Yes!" various kids yelled out in response.

Further adding to the hilarity, Kahan doubled down and asked if he was “unc,” only for the kids to quickly respond with a firm “no.” But just when it could not get any more chaotic, one student shouted that he looked like Jesus, prompting Kahan to play along, joking that if that were the case, they should all be on their best behaviour.

"I look like Jesus. I know, well, Jesus is watching you guys today, so let's be on our best behavior," the singer responded.

Amid the unapologetic roasting, Kahan’s appearance on Celebrity Substitute also arrives ahead of his upcoming Netflix documentary Out of Body.

A look at Noah Kahan’s upcoming documentary Out of Body

Already flagging success with the 24 Beats Per Second Audience Award at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival, Noah Kahan's Out of Body stands as a deeply personal, feature-length documentary directed by Nick Sweeney. Set to stream globally on Netflix on April 13. The 94-minute film moves away from the glossy blueprint of music documentaries, instead tracing the emotional weight behind Noah Kahan’s rapid rise following 'Stick Season'.

Backed by producers Samantha Mustari, Dave Sirulnick, and Stacey Reiss, the documentary leans into raw honesty, with Noah Kahan opening up about his 15-year struggle with body dysmorphia, disordered eating, and anxiety. Describing the film as “vulnerable” and “hard to watch,” he marks this as the first time he has spoken so openly about these experiences beyond his music.

However, as audiences await the documentary to witness Kahan beyond the music, his recent Celebrity Substitute moment has already carved its place in headlines.
