Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady must have ‘lost half’ his sense of humor in his 2022 divorce to supermodel Gisele Bundchen, famous comedian Jeff Ross said.
Ross’ takedown of Brady comes as the now-Fox Sports commentator expressed regret in being the subject of a live roast on Netflix, with several talented comedians on the bill alongside plenty of the quarterback’s NFL teammates and coaches.
Ross, a legendary roaster who has targeted the likes of Donald Trump and Justin Bieber in the past, was on hand for the festivities and cracked jokes about Brady’s time in the NFL and several aspects of his personal life.
Brady appeared to take the jokes well during the broadcast, even when people came for his ex-wife, with it having an affect on his three children.
‘I didn’t realize you could lose half your sense of humor in a divorce,’ Ross told Page Six. ‘I want everyone to love the roast. To leave there feeling like it was the greatest night of their life.’
‘Above that, beyond that, the guy deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for taking the hits for three hours so the rest of us can forget our problems.’

Brady previously said after the event that he preferred when the jokes were about him.
Bundchen has been dating Joaquim Valente since June 2023, while Brady has not had a high-profile girlfriend since the divorce.
Plenty of jokes about Bundchen and martial arts were made since the supermodel entered the relationship post-Brady.
Netflix has not held another live roast of the sort since Brady was the centerpiece, with other sporting legends like Tiger Woods and LeBron James having the star power necessary to be the next subject.
Ross is known as the ‘Roastmaster General’ and is one of the leading names in the comedic genre.
The set from comedian Nikki Glaser at Brady’s roast sent her into superstardom, leading to her having a role with Prime Video for NFL games and hosting last year’s Emmy Awards.
