Tom Brady reprimands Jeff Ross during Netflix roast (Image: Netflix)
The Kia Forum hosted Netflix’s live special The Roast of Tom Brady on Sunday. Comedian Jeff Ross sparked an uncomfortable moment during his joke about New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and retired quarterback Tom Brady.
During his segment, Ross poked fun at Brady being the 199th NFL draft pick. “He sat there for days, waiting and waiting, and then you were finally picked in the sixth round when Bill Belichick’s dog stepped on the keyboard by accident,” Ross said.
Ross later said Brady told Kraft, “I’m the best decision your organization has ever made.” The audience laughed and applauded until Ross said, “Would you like a massage?”
The joke references Kraft’s 2019 Florida arrest for soliciting prostitution in a massage parlor. The charges were dropped a year later. Brady and the audience appeared uncomfortable. Brady sat front and center on stage while Kraft sat in the audience.
After Ross blew a kiss to Kraft, Brady approached Ross and whispered into the microphone, “Don’t say that s— again.” Ross appeared nervous as he doubled down on the joke.
“Ok, ok. He’s having fun, look at him. I love what you do for the Jews, Robert Kraft. You’re incredible.”
Ross and Brady hugged on stage, seemingly clearing the air as the two smiled and laughed. Comedian Kevin Hart, who hosted the event, teased Ross when he returned to the stage.
“Wow, wow. Stop being a b—, Jeff, and sit down,” Hart said. “Stop kissing his a—. ‘Are you ok? It was just jokes?'”
