Tom Brady took on one of the biggest challenges of his career after playing the game in 2024. He invited comedians, celebrities and his friends to toast him in front of the world.
Brady recalled making the show in an appearance on “The Big Podcast with Shaq” and said he wasn’t mad about the jokes directed at him. He said he knew what he was getting into and talked about doing the event three years earlier with Jeff Ross.

I think people who never make fun of you, ‘Oh, it’s acting so,’ man, whether it’s real or not.
“In a locker room, all you do is make fun of people. I made every joke of Gronk and Julian (Edelman) and everybody else. When we did it in the roast, it’s funny because you know all the guys that do it are your brothers.”
