Tom Brady Claps Back at Kevin Hart During Super Bowl 2025 Broadcast After Comedian’s Savage Jabs

Tom Brady playfully fired back at comedian Kevin Hart during the live broadcast of Super Bowl 2025 on Sunday, nearly nine months after the comedian roasted the retired NFL star in a record-breaking Netflix special.

As Brady, 47, sat in the Fox Sports commentary booth during the Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles matchup, he couldn’t resist taking a playful jab at Hart. “Is Kevin Hart here?” Brady asked his co-commentator Kevin Burkhardt, before adding, “How can the camera even find Kevin Hart?” The remark poked fun at Hart’s 5’5″ stature.

Burkhardt, quick on his feet, responded, “Well, I guess it depends on the day,” before both commentators burst out laughing.

Brady, however, clarified that it was all in good fun. He wrapped up the moment by saying, “Kevin, I love you. You criticized me a lot back in May. I’m about to get you back.”

Kevin Hart’s Criticism of Brady Back in May

In May 2024, Kevin Hart took aim at Brady during a live session, bringing up Brady’s divorce from Gisele Bündchen and even making jabs about her relationship with Joaquim Valente. In the special “The Roast of Tom Brady,” Hart didn’t hold back:

“Sometimes you gotta roast your coach. You know who else roasted their coach? Gisele. She’s with that karate guy.”

He continued with, “I mean, Jesus Christ, Tom. One of the smartest quarterbacks to ever play. How did you not see this coming? Eight damn karate classes one day.”

Brady’s Regret Over the Roast

Brady later admitted that he regretted participating in the roast, saying that it had negative consequences, particularly on his three children. Reflecting on the experience, he shared on The Pivot podcast:

“It’s a bitter feeling when you do something you think is one way and then suddenly realize, ‘I won’t do that again,’ because that approach truly affected the people I care about the most in the world.”

Hart’s Response to Brady’s Backlash

While Kevin Hart has not publicly responded to Brady’s latest jab, the comedian likely understands why Brady would want to protect his family. The star of “Ride Along” has always had a sharp sense of humor, and he may simply be choosing to stay out of the spotlight for now.

It’s possible that Hart is too busy celebrating the Eagles’ victory over the Chiefs at Super Bowl 2025. Reports indicate that Hart was seen watching the big game from a private room earlier that day, focused on enjoying the spectacle.

Brady Settles into the Commentary Booth

As for Brady, he appears to be settling into his new role as a commentator with ease. Despite this being his first time commenting on a Super Bowl, Brady delivered witty remarks and engaged in lighthearted banter, proving his natural ability to entertain.

Former teammate Rob Gronkowski, who shared his thoughts on Brady’s new career path before Sunday’s big game, said, “He’s ready. He’s always prepared. He’s the best prepared, the best at what he does, and he’ll always be ready.”

Super Bowl 2025 and Brady’s Transition to Broadcasting

Super Bowl 2025 marked not only an exciting NFL showdown but also a significant moment for Tom Brady as he continues his transition from NFL legend to broadcaster.

Despite the playful rivalry and jabs at Kevin Hart, Brady’s first Super Bowl broadcast was a promising preview of what could be a long and successful career in the broadcasting world.
