Lesbian comedian Sam Jay's roast of Tom Brady had viewers screaming
And Jay didn't stop with Brady.
Tom Brady was the roast of the town over the weekend with Netflix's special, The Roast of Tom Brady. A slew of comedians and pals took swings at the retired quarterback for three hours, from Jeff Ross and Nikki Glaser to Drew Bledsoe and Rob Gronkowski. As with all roasts, there were hits and misses, but comedian Sam Jay had one of the most memorable sets.
Jay pulled no punches as she spent half her time on stage taking aim at some of the other folks present, including Bledsoe, whose spot on the New England Patriots was snatched up by Brady back in 2001.
"The only ring you have is the one Tom won for you," Jay told him. "So your Super Bowl ring is just like my strap-on: Just because you wear it doesn't make it real."
She also had plenty of jokes to make at Brady's expense, taking particular time to suggest — in detail — that they have a brief sexual encounter as "completely a fact-finding mission."
"We towel down. High five. You can be my final completion," Jay said. "And I can be the first time you looked a Black woman in the eyes."
Jay's star has continued to rise in recent years after she became the first Black lesbian writer on Saturday Night Live in 2017, sticking with the show for three years. Since then, she's gotten her own comedy specials on Netflix and Max (formerly HBO Max) and created shows with HBO and Peacock, with more projects still in the works.
And if the reaction to her time at the mic during the roast is any indication, she also picked up more than a few new fans over the weekend.
