At the Tom Brady roast, Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy persona hilariously lauded Brady while poking fun at his career.

In his signature comedic style, Burgundy couldn't resist commenting on Tom Brady's good looks. He said, “This man is gorgeous. … Look at those cheekbones. That’s a million-watt smile right there. … I could get lost in those eyes and right now I am that person,” he added, “Ron, pull it together. You’re a straight man. He’s making you question your sexuality. Stop looking at him. You’re here to make fun of him. Not fall in love. Concentrate.”
But Burgundy didn't hold back from poking fun at Brady's football skills, calling him "boring" to watch and suggesting he made even Bill Belichick's postgame interviews seem exciting.

Ferrell, through Burgundy, also took aim at Belichick, playfully suggesting that Brady was the real star of the Patriots and joking about Belichick's potential job prospects. He said, “By the way, Bill, wherever you are, I hope, you know, I hope you know it now it was Tom, it was never you. … Remember that period when people thought it was you. Well, it wasn’t. It was Tom. I understand, Bill."
The Step Brothers actor said, "You’re currently unemployed. Good luck on ZipRecruiter. There are a lot of jobs in the health care field. I hear male nurses are in great demand and with your bedside manner, no one would rather wake up after gallbladder surgery and look into the loving kind face of Bill Belichick as he gives you a sponge bath.”
Despite the playful jabs, Ferrell made it clear that Brady was loved and admired by many, even if he jokingly referred to him as "Eli Manning's bitch."
He said, “I mean, let’s be honest. Your best years are behind you, Tom. The Super Bowls, Gisele, your movie career, it’s all done, it’s all gone. But you won’t be forgotten, you’ll always be remembered as Eli Manning’s bitch. Don’t let that get you down, Tom. Like I said before, we all love you. In fact, only one man truly hates you and it is my pleasure to bring him out here, Mr. Bill Belichick,”
The roast, part of Netflix's Is a Joke Fest, was streamed live, marking the first-ever live, unedited roast telecast. It took place at L.A.'s Kia Forum in Inglewood and was a memorable evening filled with laughter and good-natured ribbing.
