Comedian Kevin Hart is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan and was seen at the Super Bowl cheering on his team, but he eventually caught a sarcastic stray from Tom Brady.
Brady took a playful shot at Hart after the Fox cameras found him at the game.
Tom Brady Roasts Kevin Hart During Broadcast
Brady shot at Hart during the Fox Broadcast, asking, “How did the cameras find Kevin Hart?”
Referring to Hart’s height, Brady later said that he loved Hart. This is payback from Brady’s roast where Hart and others cooked the future Hall of Famer. Hart tried to defend him and his fellow roasters after Brady said he regretted doing the roast because the jokes hurt his family.
“I loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun. I didn’t like the way that affected my kids. So it’s the hardest part about, like, the bittersweet aspect of when you do something that you think is one way, and then all of a sudden you realize I wouldn’t do that again because of the way that affected actually the people that I care about the most in the world,” said Brady on the podcast “The Pivot.”
“Hard-hitting fun jokes. Everybody up there got hit, everybody got hit,” Hart said via Deadline. “But those comics got an opportunity to show what makes them special. There was not a comic that touched that microphone that did not show that they were a sharp-witted talent. That’s the whole idea of a roast.”
Hart did say he sympathized with Brady, however.
“Although I can side with Tom and see where he’s coming from and just him wanting to protect, you know, the idea of family and the conversation attached to that. You know, that’s probably where that’s coming from, and, you know, I’m not privy to whatever he dealt with after,” Hart said.
“So I know his response and saying something about it was a result to possibly that. But that thing made people comfortable with, like, the concept of a joke being a joke.
“I love the moment. I love Tom,” Hart said. “I understand why Tom came back and said what he said, but I understand where it’s coming from. And I think when he says that, he just knows that he could have policed it a little better, if he wanted to, but also not being aware of where people were going to go and how they were going to come in, it’s a learning lesson.
“So moving forward, if we’re roasting somebody and there’s something crazy that they don’t want, then it’s just a conversation beforehand, and people just go around it.”
It seems, though, after tonight, there are no hard feelings between the two.
