Tom Brady made history on the field during his NFL career, and now it looks like he’s going to make history off the field.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner will be the subject of a roast on Netflix next month in what the streaming company is calling “The Greatest Roast of All Time.” The difference between this roast and other roasts is that it will be broadcast live and uncensored, making it the first time in history that a roast will be broadcast live and without editing on television or streaming, according to Netflix.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- Date: Sunday May 5
- Location: Los Angeles Forum

Although Netflix hasn’t announced the full list of people who will roast Brady, several names have been leaked. Randy Moss, Julian Edelman, Drew Bledsoe and Rob Gronkowski will all be there to roast their former quarterback, according to ESPN.com. Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick is also expected to roast Brady, according to NFL.com. This should be fun to watch.
Netflix also revealed that Kevin Hart will host.
It’s also worth noting that Jeff Ross is producing – and he appears in the trailer above – so it obviously wouldn’t be surprising if he took part in the roast. The special will include “a surprise team of roasters from the world of comedy, sports and entertainment,” so you can expect a lot of people to make fun of Brady.
“I played in the NFL, so I’m not worried about a bunch of comedians, believe me,” Brady said Monday. during an interview with TODAY.
If you want the full list of names of who will roast Brady, you’ll have to watch the show because Netflix is keeping most of it under wraps, so it will be a surprise for Brady when he takes the stage on May 5.
You can actually attend the roast with tickets still on sale for as low as $89.50 on Ticketmaster.
The roast is part of Netflix’s annual “Netflix Is A Joke Fest,” which runs from May 2 to 12 this year. According to the Hollywood Reporter, several big names in comedy are expected to attend the comedy festival (but not necessarily the Brady roast), including Chris Rock, Ali Wong, John Mulaney, Chelsea Handler, Bert Kreisher, Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Tom Segura and Matt Rife.
