Tom Bradysneaked up behind Kevin Hart on stage at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Sunday night, interrupted the comedian's opening monologue, and delivered one of the most savage surprise appearances in Netflix roast history.
The seven-timeSuper Bowlchampion appeared during The Roast of Kevin Hart, which streamed live on Netflix on 10 May as the finale of Netflix Is a Joke Fest 2026. Brady wasted no time going after Hart, asking if the comedian had 'been here screaming into that mic the last two years waiting for daddy to come home.'
'Well, unlike your real dad, I actually showed up,' Brady said.

The appearance was a direct response to Hart's performance at The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady in 2024, where the comedian targeted Brady's divorce from Gisele Bündchen and his fractured relationship with former coach Bill Belichick. Hart reportedly told Brady 'f--k you' no fewer than seven times during that set. Roastmaster General Jeff Ross later described Hart's performance as 'really mean.'
Brady has since described his decision to participate in his own roast as a 'major parenting f--k-up,' saying on The Pivot Podcast in May 2024 that the jokes about his divorce affected his children. 'I loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun,' he said at the time. 'I didn't like the way it affected my kids.'
That regret didn't stop him from returning fire on Sunday.
Brady handed Hart a child-sized New York Knicks jersey, a pointed jab after Hart's beloved Philadelphia 76ers had been swept by the Knicks in a four-game playoff series just hours earlier. 'That's newborn size,' Brady told Hart. 'Alright, sit down. Hobbit.'

The sharpest moment came when Brady referenced Hart's 2017 affair, when the comedian cheated on his then-pregnant wife, Eniko Hart, while in Las Vegas. 'I do have a few words for you before I return to my affairs in Las Vegas,' Brady said. 'Oh, wait, I'm talking about affairs in Las Vegas. Was that off? Not supposed to talk about affairs in Vegas? F--k it. I talked about it.'
