Tom Bradyisn’t afraid to dish it out to palKevin Hart— even at the2025 Super Bowl.

The legendary NFL player —an announcer on Fox’s broadcast of the game — called out the comedian, 45, who was briefly shown on camera.

“Kevin Hart’s here?” Brady, 47, questioned, to which his co-host Kevin Burkhardt responded, “Yeah.”

“How do the cameras find Kevin Hart?” Brady quipped. “Depends on the day I guess,” Burkhardt said.

However, theretired NFL quarterbackeventually dropped his teasing, admitting on the broadcast that it was all in jest — and a bit of payback for Hart’s roast of him during Netflix’sGreatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.

“Kevin, I love you. You took so many shots at me in May. I’m coming right at you,” he added.

Hart was the first to take aim at Brady in the May special and included several jokes about Brady’s love life and hisdivorcefromGisele Bündchen. During one of his roasts, he said, “Gisele gave you an ultimatum. She said you have to retire or you’re done. But when you have a chance to go 8-9 you gotta do it.”

“… You just don’t see the full picture all the time,” he said. “So I think it’s a good lesson for me as a parent. I’m going to be a better parent as I go forward because of it, and at the same time, I’m happy everyone who was there had a lot of fun.”

Hart toldBleacher Reportin July 2024 that while he sympathized with Brady, he also insisted that Brady star’s treatment on the special was “necessary.”

“The idea of going all in and just saying, ‘I don’t care, because I know the world would love to see me being on the receiving end of s—,’ … I think it was that,” he explained of Brady’s attitude afterward. “But what it did for comedy and our climate of sensitivity, I think was necessary and valuable.”

Hart said that he can “see where [Brady’s] coming from” considering the current social climate “and just him wanting to protect, the idea of family and the conversation attached to that.”

“… I know his response and saying something about it was a result of possibly that," guessed Hart. “But that [special] made people comfortable with a joke being a joke.”
