Tom Brady found himself in the hot seat during Netflix's "The Greatest Roast of All Time," enduring a barrage of jabs from former teammates, comedians, and even surprise guests like Kim Kardashian. Hosted by Kevin Hart and streamed live on Netflix, the event spared no punches, targeting Brady's personal life, career, and even his investments.
As the evening kicked off, comedian Jeff Ross wasted no time in skewering Brady, jokingly attributing his success to a laundry list of questionable tactics, including deflating footballs and influencing rule changes.

Boston-native Ben Affleck shared a candid anecdote about Brady seeking solace in social media comments, painting a vivid picture of the toxicity surrounding the quarterback's online presence. Even fictional characters joined the fray, with Will Ferrell appearing as Ron Burgundy to quip about Brady's transition from Patriot to Buccaneer and his perceived "boring" persona.
Throughout the night, Brady's divorce from Gisele Bündchen served as fertile ground for comedic fodder, with the quarterback gamely sipping his drink as the topic resurfaced. Former teammates like Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman offered playful jabs, highlighting the camaraderie shared on and off the field.
Comedians Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, and Nikki Glaser added their own spin, with Glaser cheekily remarking on Brady's prolonged dominance in the league.
Despite the onslaught of jokes, Brady remained composed, seizing the opportunity to quip about his enduring resilience and championship-winning career. Reflecting on his storied tenure in the NFL, which includes seven Super Bowl victories and numerous accolades, Brady embraced the spirit of the roast, showcasing his ability to take hits both on and off the field.
As the evening drew to a close, Brady had the last laugh, asserting his unwavering commitment to excellence and championship glory. Amidst the laughter and banter, one thing remained clear—Tom Brady's legacy as one of football's greatest quarterbacks endures, transcending the ribbing and jests of a roast.
