Will Ferrell appeared at the Tom Brady roast Sunday night as his Presenter character, Ron Burgundy.
He was billed as “a living legend, a world-class lover and the #1 news anchor of all Sundays.”
“My name is Ron Burgundy,” he said. “I’m very important but tonight it’s not about me. … We are here to honor a champion of the gridiron, a great American, a father and a sexy man, a true patriot – until he wasn’t.
Burgundy started by commenting on how handsome Brady was.
“This man is magnificent. …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 said. “Ron, get it together.” You are a straight man. It makes you question your sexuality. Stop looking at him. You are there to make fun of him. Don’t fall in love. To focus.”
He continued: “Tom, it’s clear, everyone here loves you. I love you, even if maybe it’s just desire. It could be love, we’ll never know.
Burgundy continued: “I can’t wait for you to be up there on Fox Sports commenting on the game you loved, or playing for the Raiders in the playoffs, or coaching the Patriots, or whatever it is you’re going to do. “
He also joked that Brady was “boring” to watch. “I never liked you Tom in all my years of watching professional football. I’ve never seen a more boring quarterback,” he said, later adding, “In fact, he made me look forward to all the fun and laughter of a postgame interview by Bill Belichick. »
Ferrell also attacked Belichick: “By the way, Bill, wherever you are, I hope, you know, I hope you know now, it was Tom, it was never you. …Remember that time when people thought it was you. Well, that wasn’t the case. It was Tom. I understand, Bill. You are currently unemployed. Good luck on ZipRecruiter. There are many jobs in the health care field. I’ve heard that nurses are in high demand, and with your bedside manner, no one would rather wake up after gallbladder surgery and look at Bill Belichick’s kind, kind face while he gives you a bath. the sponge.
He continued: “I mean, let’s be honest. Your best years are behind you, Tom. The Super Bowls, Gisèle, your movie career, it’s all over, it’s all gone. But you won’t be forgotten, you’ll always be remembered as Eli Manning’s bitch. Don’t let it get you down, Tom. Like I said before, we all love you. In fact, there is only one man who truly hates you and it is my pleasure to bring him here, Mr. Bill Belichick,” Ferell concluded, drawing out the longtime Patriots coach from Brady.
Ferrell played against Burgundy in two Presenter movies.
