So, picture this: Kim Kardashian walks onto the stage at the Tom Brady roast holding a glass of champagne, ready to deliver some killer jokes. But instead of being met with just applause, she’s quickly drowned out by a chorus of boos from the crowd. Awkward, right?
Of course, being the pro that she is, Kim handles the situation with grace, giving a little laugh and saying, “All right, all right, all right” as she waits for the boos to subside. I mean, what else can you do in that moment, right?
Offstage, you can hear Kevin Hart going, “Whoa, whoa,” probably wondering what just happened. But Kim doesn’t let the boos get her down, and she launches into her set of jokes with a smile on her face.
One of the first things she addresses is the rumors that she and Brady were once an item. “I’d never say if we did or not,” she jokes, “I’d just release a tape.” Classic Kim, always keeping it real.
She then goes on to compare Brady to her stepdad, Caitlyn Jenner, saying, “Oh, part of me thinks you would want to [date] me just to try on my clothes.” Ouch, but also, kind of hilarious if you think about it.
But Kim doesn’t stop there. She also takes a jab at Brady’s transition from the NFL, saying, “I think my stepdad is a great example for you. She’s one of the best athletes in the world who proved you can do anything in this next chapter of your life.” Hey, you gotta give her props for being bold.
And of course, Kim couldn’t resist bringing up her late father, Robert Kardashian, who was part of O.J. Simpson’s defense team. “Honestly, it’s hard for me to watch people roast you. But I think enough of my family members have helped defend former football players,” she quips. Gotta love a good family joke, right?
But don’t worry, Brady gets his chance to fire back at Kim later on. “I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight. Not because of this, but because her kids are home with their dad,” he jokes. Well played, Brady, well played.
The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, which was part of the Netflix Is a Joke Fest, was streamed live, making it the first-ever roast to be telecast live and unedited. The event took place at L.A.’s Kia Forum in Inglewood. Can you imagine being there in person for all the drama and laughs? Sounds like a night to remember for sure.
