Tom Brady will be the subject of a comedy roast on Netflix
The special will be hosted by Kevin Hart live on the streaming platform in May.
A Tom Brady roast is coming to Netflix in May: Tom Brady withstood the relentless pressure of NFL defenses for decades, but can he take a few jokes?
Brady, 46, will be the subject of a comedy roast held live on Netflix on May 5 starting at 8 p.m. The special will be hosted by comedian Kevin Hart. A trailer for the event was revealed on Monday morning with a simple premise.
“The man, the arena,” read Hart as narrator. “The roast of Tom Brady, live on Netflix. No helmets, no mercy, no ‘Brady rule.'”
Optimistically billed as “the greatest roast of all time,” the special is set to be the first live roast held on the streaming platform. Along with classic roaster Jeff Ross (seen in the trailer), it promises a “lineup of surprise guests.”

“I’m un-roastable,” Brady claims at the end of the trailer, a statement that Ross and others will undoubtedly view as a worthy challenge.

Speaking of Tom Brady: The former Patriots quarterback was in Madrid over the weekend to watch Real Madrid defeat rival Barcelona 3-2. Brady, a minority owner of English club Birmingham City, left a message in his Instagram caption for Real superstar (and former Birmingham player) Jude Bellingham, scorer of the winning goal on Sunday.
“We’ll hold your parking spot in Birmingham, Jude.”
“Spot No. 22 please mate,” Bellingham replied in the comments.
In other “Americans and European soccer” news: In yesterday’s FA Cup semifinal between Manchester United and underdog Coventry City, U.S. forward Haji Wright helped the Championship side storm back from a 3-0 second-half deficit.
Wright scored the tying penalty kick in the final seconds, and appeared to set up a winner in extra time. Unfortunately for fans of the upset, the goal was called back as Wright was fractionally ruled to be in an offside position, and United prevailed 4-2 on penalty kicks.
On this day: In 2007, the Red Sox smashed four consecutive home runs in a 7-6 win over the Yankees. Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek turned a deficit into a lead for Boston in a memorable edition of the famous rivalry.
Daily highlight: Isaiah Jackson made a picture-perfect over-the-wall catch to rob a home run in Arizona State’s 13-1 win over UCLA.
Trivia answer: Chad Pennington, Giovanni Carmazzi, Chris Redman, Tee Martin, Marc Bulger, Spergon Wynn
