Tom Brady Crashes Kevin Hart’s Live Netflix Roast With Stinging Cameo

Netflix is using secrecy with surprise cameos to turn live roasts into must-watch event TV.

Overview

  • The live special, which streamed Sunday from Los AngelesKia Forum during Netflix Is A Joke Fest, featured Brady’s unannounced entrance and pointed jokes about Hart’s 2017 affair.
  • Netflix kept the roster secret ahead of time, with Shane Gillis hosting as roasters including Chelsea Handler, Pete Davidson, Tiffany Haddish, Regina Hall and Na’im Lynn took turns at Hart.
  • Brady mocked Hart’s height with a newborn-size Knicks jersey, tossed off Eagles–Cowboys barbs and even flirted on mic with Hart’s wife Eniko before making a quick exit.
  • The appearance served as payback after Hart hosted Brady’s buzzy 2024 roast, highlighting Netflix’s push into live, unedited comedy that creates real-time shocks.
  • The roast streamed exclusively to Netflix members as the festival’s finale, advancing the streamer’s strategy with Live Nation to spark viral moments and fuel subscriber interest.
