Brady will serve as an executive producer on his own and future roasts. His roast will be filmed in 2023 following his next season with the NFL.“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’s 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.
No one’s better at taking hits and still coming out on top, so we know the roast will be a breeze for Brady.” Additional information on the special and those who will be roasting Brady will be announced at a later date.
Brady executive produces via 199 Productions. Casey Patterson executive produces for Casey Patterson Entertainmen with Jeff Ross and Carol Donovan also executive producing.
