Tom Brady took the jokes in stride at his roast — well, most of them.
Amid jabs about Gisele Bundchen, deflategate and his good looks on Sunday night, Brady bristled at one in particular, aimed at the Patriots’ 82-year-old owner, Robert Kraft.
During his turn onstage, Jeff Ross quipped: “So Tom became a Patriot and moved up to New England, and on the first day of training camp, that scrawny rookie famously walked into the owner Robert Kraft‘s office and said, ‘I’m the best decision your organization has ever made. Would you like a massage?’”
Brady then approached Ross, who’d blown a kiss Kraft’s way, and said in his ear: “Don’t say that shit again.” Ross replied, “OK, OK. He’s having fun, look at him. I love what you do for the Jews, Robert Kraft. You’re incredible.”
The joke was a reference to a 2019 incident in which Kraft was charged with soliciting prostitution after an investigation into massage parlors in Florida. Police said they had recorded Kraft paying for sex acts. He pleaded not guilty, and a federal judge later ordered that the recordings be destroyed after it was found they were filmed unlawfully. The case was dismissed later that year.
The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, which was part of the Netflix Is a Joke Fest, was streamed live, which Netflix touted as the first-ever roast to be telecast live, unedited. The festivities were held at L.A.‘s Kia Forum in Inglewood.
Among the other bold-faced names in attendance were Ben Affleck, Will Ferrell, Kim Kardashian, Jim Gaffigan, Amanda Kloots, Richard Kind, Chelsea Handler and Dane Cook, along with NFL pros Peyton Manning, Rob Gronkowski, Randy Moss, Rodney Harrison, Julian, Edelman and Matt Light. Kevin Hart served as host of the night.
The roast was executive produced by Brady, Casey Patterson, Ross, Hart and Jeff Clanagan for Hartbeat.
