Tom Brady might be a five-time Super Bowl champion, four-time Super Bowl MVP, and one of the greatest athletes to ever live, but never forget there’s something he totally sucks at. It’s hosting Saturday Night Live.
Brady hosted NBC’s legendary sketch comedy show way back in 2005, and it is a rather cringe-worthy episode. Since Brady is an athlete and not a comedian, he is never asked to stretch himself. The problem is he is glued to the cue cards, and as it happens, is a stiff reader. You know how little kids have so much trouble reading aloud new words, so they over-focus and read without natural inflection? It’s cute when a five-year-old is doing it, and uncomfortable when a grown adult is doing it on Saturday Night Live.
Maybe the most befuddling sketch, though, is one where Tom Brady pitches his dream to open a falafel restaurant. It’s a silly idea, and in the mold of more famous sketches like “Donald Trump’s House of Wings” and “Stevie Nicks’ Fajita Roundup.” But while those sketches pushed the crazed concepts to their limits, “Tom Brady’s Falafel City” falls as flat as Brady’s bored line delivery. It’s three and a half minutes of second-hand embarrassment that feels like a bracing new form of torture.
Overall, the episode is…fine. It just exists in the vault of time as an event that took place many years ago. You can find it on Hulu and watch some of it for yourself, and then decide, “Oh, this is a waste of my time. I could instead be doing something I love with my precious limited time on earth.” Such is Tom Brady’s Saturday Night Live episode.
So if you can’t stand Tom Brady and his glorious success as quarterback for the Patriots, the fact that he might have gotten away with cheating, and that he has a happy life married to one of the most beautiful women in the world, remember that he doesn’t have everything. Tom Brady doesn’t really have a sense of humor.
