Tom Brady made a surprise appearance at the Kia Forum on Sunday night to get some revenge on Kevin Hart, taking the stage at the comedian’s live Netflix roast to deliver a series of sharp personal jabs. 

The retired NFL quarterback, who was himself the subject of a high-profile roast in 2024, didn’t hold back as he kicked off the final night of the Netflix Is a Joke Fest.

Brady wasted no time referencing Hart’s past personal scandals, joking that he had to get back to his “affairs in Las Vegas” before asking the crowd if he wasn’t supposed to mention Las Vegas affairs, a direct nod to Hart’s admitted infidelity while in the city in 2017.

The tension on stage was high-energy and comedic, especially since Hart had spent the moments before Brady’s entrance calling the athlete a “b*tch” and claiming his own roast would be far better because he could handle the heat. 

Brady shut down the ranting host almost immediately upon entering, asking, “Jesus, do you ever shut the fIck up?” 

He then went for a particularly low blow regarding Hart’s family history, telling the comedian that unlike his actual father, he had actually shown up for him.

This appearance felt like a long-awaited comeback for Brady, who had to sit through a barrage of jokes from Hart and others during his own televised special last year. 

Brady, now a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and the Aces WNBA team, played up his “busy man” persona while proving he could dish out the same level of vitriol he previously received. 

He mocked Hart for seemingly never leaving the Forum and just “screaming into that mic” for the last two years while waiting for “daddy to come home.”

The event, hosted by Shane Gillis and broadcast live from Los Angeles, featured an intensive line-up of talent ready to tear into Hart, including Chelsea Handler, Pete Davidson, Tiffany Haddish, and Regina Hall. 

While the night was filled with professional roasters, it was Brady’s unexpected arrival and his willingness to “break the rules” of polite conversation that set the tone for the evening. 

Despite the harshness of the jokes, the exchange remained in the spirit of the festival, closing out the comedy marathon with one of its most talked-about confrontations.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs put relationship rumours firmly to one side on Friday, showing up together at the Diggs Deep Foundation’s Mother’s Day wellness event on 9 May and putting on an affectionate display for the cameras.

In footage shared to social media by sports journalist Kelsey Nicole Nelson, the pair were all smiles as they posed together, with Diggs, 32, wrapping his arms around Cardi’s waist and planting kisses on the side of her hair. 

Cardi, 33, looked back at him at one point making a kissy face. 

She wore a body-hugging brown knit co-ord and strappy heeled sandals with a Chanel crossbody bag, while Diggs kept it casual in a pale pink hoodie and jean shorts. 

At one point, Cardi was spotted singing along to Monaleo’s Putting Ya Dine as the event’s music played.

Neither Cardi nor the former New England Patriots wide receiver has officially confirmed the status of their relationship since they were first linked in February 2025. 

But the signs have been there. 

Diggs attended the 8 April stop of her Little Miss Drama tour in Washington D.C., where he was filmed dancing with his mother Stefanie Diggs while Cardi performed on stage. 

After the show, the pair were spotted leaving her sold-out afterparty at Throw Social together.

Cardi has also made her protective instincts clear. 

During a February concert, she called out rival rapper Bia after she made comments about Diggs having children with multiple women. 

“Just because I ain’t f–king with my baby daddy, doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy!” she said on stage.

Cardi is also mother to Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 19 months, from her marriage to ex Offset. 

She and Diggs welcomed a son together in November.

Martin Short has opened up about his memories of the late Gilda Radner, describing the comedy icon as “hilarious and alive and warm” during a recent industry event. 

Speaking on Thursday, 7 May, at the Netflix Is a Joke festival in a conversation with David Letterman and Paul Shaffer, the 76-year-old actor reflected on the magnetic personality of his former girlfriend. 

Short explained that when they first met in a 1972 Toronto production of Godspell, Radner was “exactly as wonderful as you’d hope,” noting that while every woman wanted to be her best friend, every man was eager to date her.

The Only Murders in the Building star recalled the chaotic atmosphere of the auditions, likening them to American Idol as hundreds of young hopefuls aiming for roles. 

Short and Radner were cast alongside other future legends like Eugene Levy and Victor Garber, at a time when they were just kids thrilled to be doing something creative. 

According to Short, Radner made an immediate impression, walking up to him at the very first rehearsal to introduce herself and proving to be instantly funny.

However, the production also set the stage for a complicated romantic crossroads for Short. 

While he was dating Radner, he met her understudy, Nancy Dolman, whom he described as a huge talent and an incredible singer. 

Short has previously admitted that he “loved Gilda,” but their relationship was a turbulent one defined by constant break-ups. 

The transition between the two women happened remarkably fast; after one particular split from Radner, Short made a tennis date with Dolman, only for Radner to phone up a day later expecting to reconcile.

Ultimately, Short stayed with Dolman, and the couple married in 1980, remaining together for 36 years until her death in 2010. 

In a tragic parallel to Radner’s own passing at the age of 42 in 1989, Dolman also died from ovarian cancer. 

Short, who shared three adopted children with Dolman, has faced further heartbreak recently, with the family announcing in February 2026 that their daughter, Katherine, had also died at the age of 42.

Despite the years and the losses, Short’s fond memories of Radner’s vibrant spirit remain a testament to the close-knit bond formed during their early days in the industry.
