The Roast of Tom Brady (also billed as The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady) is a celebrity roast special that aired on the streaming service platform Netflix.[1] Former American football quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers served as the night's roastee with many celebrities in attendance, in addition to comedians, former teammates, and former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. The show was hosted by Kevin Hart and "roastmaster general" Jeff Ross with an introduction from Rich Eisen. It aired live on Netflix as part of the "Netflix is a Joke" comedy festival in Los Angeles, California on May 5, 2024.[2][3]

Summary

The roast included jokes surrounding Brady's divorce from Gisele Bündchen, Spygate, Deflategate, trainer Alex Guerrero, O. J. Simpson, Bill Belichick's job status, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, cryptocurrency, and Brady losing to Eli Manning in the Super Bowl multiple times.[4][5][6] During the special, Kim Kardashian was booed by the crowd while toasting to Brady.[7][8] There was a joke made by Ross referencing Robert Kraft's 2019 soliciting prostitution charges, which Brady objected to by getting up and warning Ross "don't say that shit again."[9][10] Numerous references were also made to Aaron Hernandez, a former teammate of Brady's found guilty of murder who later committed suicide in prison.[11]
