As a long-time gamer and avid follower of pop culture, I was both excited and intrigued when I heard about “The Roast of Tom Brady” that premiered on Netflix last May. The star-studded event was a huge spectacle with massive viewership numbers, and I couldn’t wait to see how the legendary NFL player would handle the jokes aimed at him.
In May 2024, Netflix subscribers had the opportunity to watch an impressive show as part of Netflix’s TV lineup – the live-streamed “The Roast of Tom Brady.” Held at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, this event attracted a large audience and reportedly brought in huge viewership numbers for Netflix. However, Tom Brady himself expressed regret over his participation. Several comedians involved have since shared their perspectives on Brady’s feelings. Now, it’s Kevin Hart‘s turn to speak up – and he has plenty to say.
What Did Tom Brady Say About The Roast After It Premiered?
A few days after the roast event, a former New England Patriots player spoke openly about it on “The Pivot Podcast.” At 46 years old and a former quarterback, he didn’t take offense to the jokes targeting him directly. However, what bothered him was how the roast affected his children.
I took delight in jokes at my expense. I found them amusing. However, I disapproved of their impact on my children. It’s the challenging part about realizing that despite my best intentions, there are moments I wouldn’t repeat due to their effect on the people I cherish most deeply.
Tom Brady’s three children weren’t directly mocked during the roast, but they reportedly weren’t pleased with some jokes that referenced them. His ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, was also said to be displeased by certain jokes that mentioned her. Brady anticipated being made fun of by Jeff Ross and Kevin Hart, but he acknowledged that the scope of such an event isn’t always clear beforehand. Regarding the potential consequences for him moving forward, Brady stated: “With something like this, you don’t get the whole picture all the time.”
I’ve learned a valuable lesson from this experience that will make me an even better parent in the future. Simultaneously, I’m glad that everyone present enjoyed themselves greatly.
Comedian Nikki Glaser responded to Tom Brady’s criticism and apparent displeasure over a joke about Patriots owner Robert Kraft during the LA event. When confronted about the backlash from Brady’s family, Glaser acknowledged that she could “comprehend” why he was caught off guard. However, she also believed that someone as detail-oriented as Brady “would not do anything without thoroughly researching and being fully aware of the situation.” Kevin Hart’s perspective aligns with Glaser’s to some extent, but his analysis might offer a more intricate interpretation.
How Did Kevin Hart Respond To The NFL Legend’s Comments About The Roast?
During the roast, the Lift star made no holds barred with Tom Brady jokes. He even quipped beforehand that he was prepared to “call it quits” in his friendship with the former Tampa Bay Buccaneer. The actor and producer shared these thoughts during an interview on the Taylor Rooks X podcast, which can be found on YouTube. When asked for his perspective, the Jumanji star elaborated on why he thinks Brady may not regret the roast experience itself:
I believe he meant to say, “I wish I had prepared more beforehand, perhaps by having a pre-show talk with the team about what to avoid.” He might have suggested, “Let’s give it our all, but let’s steer clear of certain things.” Tom Brady may have chosen to go all out and not care about potential criticism because he’s used to being in the limelight. I assume that was his intention. Additionally, the controversy contributed significantly to comedy and the current culture of sensitivity, even though I can understand Tom’s perspective and his desire to protect his family and related conversations.
Kevin Hart expressed his viewpoint that the entire event helped people understand that a joke is simply meant to be humorous and nothing more. He praised the comedians on stage, acknowledging their wit and talent. Hart shared that he presented himself as the host by highlighting his ability to establish the right tone and deliver the necessary surprise for such an event. The renowned actor from “Think Like a Man” concluded by expressing these thoughts.
If we examine the roast closely, I stepped up to the microphone and successfully made people feel at ease despite the awkwardness. Initially, I targeted Tom, but soon enough, I included the audience, the stage, and even the individuals present in my witty banter. My delivery was light-hearted and entertaining, ensuring that everyone appreciated it rather than feeling offended.
As someone who has attended several roasts before, I can tell you that the level of humor and jokes exchanged between comedians and their roastees can vary greatly. In the case of Kevin Hart and Tom Brady’s roast, it seemed that the jokes pushed some buttons and elicited quite extreme reactions from the crowd, according to Jeff McCobb’s account.
