Netflix to air live roast of Tom Brady on May 5
Tom Brady may need to dust off his helmet, shoulder pads and other protective equipment.
Netflix announced Monday that the seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback will be the guest of honor at a live and uncensored roast streaming from the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on May 5 at 8 p.m. ET.
“The Greatest Roast of All-Time” will be hosted by actor and comedian Kevin Hart.
Netflix promised an “all-star lineup of surprise roasters,” who will be taking shots at the man many consider the NFL’s G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All-Time).
The company said it is the first time in history that a roast has aired live and unedited on television or streaming.
“No Helmets. No Mercy. No Brady Rule,” the streaming service posted in a video on X.
Brady, 46, told the “TODAY” show on Monday that he can handle the heat.
“I played in the NFL, so I’m not worried about a bunch of comedians, trust me,” Brady said.
A three-time league MVP and five-time Super Bowl MVP, Brady is the NFL’s alltime leader with 649 touchdown passes and 89,214 passing yards in 23 seasons for the New England Patriots (2000-19) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020-22).
Britain’s Prince William and his wife Kate thanked the public for their messages which had been sent to mark the sixth birthday of their youngest son Louis on Tuesday.
The couple, the Prince and Princess of Wales, also issued a picture of Louis on social media to mark the occasion, showing a close-up image of the beaming young prince.
“Happy 6th Birthday, Prince Louis! Thank you for all the kind wishes today,” their office Kensington Palace said on X.
The picture was taken by Kate in Windsor where the family live. Louis is the youngest of their three children, with George, aged 10, and Charlotte due to celebrate her ninth birthday next month.
