Tom Brady wants to host “Saturday Night Live’’ again
Sounds like Tom Brady would really like to host “Saturday Night Live’’ again. Chatting Wednesday with WEEI morning hosts John Dennis and Gerry Callahan, Brady said he had a blast hosting the show in 2008 and would welcome the opportunity to do it again. “That was a great experience. Like a lot of things, you go through them and you don’t appreciate them until they’re over,’’ he said. “And that was one of those experiences where I loved doing it but then really realized how much I loved doing it after it was over.’’ The Pats QB, who called in to hype this weekend’s Best Buddies Challenge and the Tom Brady Challenge football game at Harvard Stadium, also critiqued his acting performance in a new “Funny or Die’’ clip. “It’s not like Tom Hanks in ‘Castaway,’’’ said Brady. (He’s right.) Asked about the Tintin-like ’do he was sporting at a recent event in New York, Brady admitted he “got a lot of grief over that.’’ But he didn’t seem bothered, explaining, “I don’t take it as seriously, it’s just something that, I’ll tell you the truth, I was actually shampooing my hair in the shower one day and I was like, ‘Wow, I might do that, that might be cool,’ because you put shampoo in and you kind of put your hands through it and say, ‘OK, cool, let me see if we can make something of this … it’s a fashion type of event, so if you’re going to do something, if you’re going to pull off a different tux or a different outfit, then go for it. That was the night to do it. You’re not going to go to some other event doing something like that. You just figure you have fun with it. It’s one night. The great part of it is hopefully I’m not trying to please too many people. As long as my wife liked it, my mom liked it, I’m cool and they liked it.’’
