Tom Brady may need to dust off his helmet, shoulder pads and other protective equipment.

Netflix announced Monday that the seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback will be the guest of honour at a live and uncensored roast streaming from the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on May 5 at 8 p.m. ET.

"The Greatest Roast of All-Time" will be hosted by actor and comedian Kevin Hart.

Netflix promised an "all-star lineup of surprise roasters," who will be taking shots at the man many consider the NFL's G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All-Time).

The company said it is the first time in history that a roast has aired live and unedited on television or streaming.

"No Helmets. No Mercy. No Brady Rule," the streaming service posted in a video on X.

Brady, 46, told the "TODAY" show on Monday that he can handle the heat.

"I played in the NFL, so I'm not worried about a bunch of comedians, trust me," Brady said.

A three-time league MVP and five-time Super Bowl MVP, Brady is the NFL's all-time leader with 649 touchdown passes and 89,214 passing yards in 23 seasons for the New England Patriots (2000-19) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020-22).
