Tom Brady took plenty of hits during his legendary NFL career, but can the seven-time Super Bowl champion take a joke?
This weekend, Brady will take center stage for “The Greatest Roast of All Time,” one of the marquee shows on the schedule for the 2024 Netflix Is A Joke Festival. Unlike previous celebrity roasts, this event will air live and unedited, and Brady has declared that nothing is off limits.
“The thing I love about Tom Brady, he is a student of the roast,” comedian Jeff Ross, who is one of the executive producers for the show, said during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel. “He told me it was his dream to get roasted.”
Deflategate, personal and professional relationships, the TB12 method, Eli Manning — yes, everything is on the table. Prepare yourself, Tommy. Some of these jabs might hurt a little bit.
Here is everything you need to know about the “The Greatest Roast of All Time,” including how to watch the event.

Tom Brady roast host, comedians, special guests
- Host: Kevin Hart
Kevin Hart will serve as the host of the Tom Brady roast. Ross, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Nikki Glaser, Andrew Schulz, Tony Hinchcliffe and Sam Jay are part of the roast lineup.
Several of Brady’s former teammates are expected to attend, including Randy Moss, Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman and Drew Bledsoe. NFL Network’s Gregg Rosenthal reported that Bill Belichick will be a roaster, and Ben Affleck could make an appearance.
But Brady won’t just be a target. He will have a chance to fire back at the roasters before the end of the night.
“I think he, at his own roast, might have the set of the night because I watched him rehearse — not rehearse, but running some of his material, and he’s ruthless,” Ross told Kimmel. “He wants to win his own roast.”
