NFL superstar Tom Brady will be taking the heat as the first subject of an upcoming series of new Netflix specials, Greatests Roasts Of All Time: GROAT.
Brady also will serve as an executive producer, with his own roast set to tape in 2023, following his next season in the NFL. “To quote my good friend, Marshawn Lynch … ‘I’m just here so I won’t get fined,’” said Brady. “We can’t wait to burn three-time Super Bowl-losing quarterback Tom Brady, who only went back to the NFL in order to delay this roast,” said Robbie Praw, Netflix Vice President of Stand-up and Comedy Formats. “In all seriousness, it’s a huge thrill to work with the greatest football player of all time on this project.
