Saturday Night Live addresses everything, so with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots getting hammered this week by the Wells Report and the NFL, the topic of choice was already set.
Saturday night — anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che welcomed Tom Brady on air — hoping he would fess up about taking the air out of the balls.
Instead, the character played by Taran Killam used his role as Brady to poke fun at the football player’s charming personality, his charity work, and his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen.
“Let’s have a great interview,” Killiam said at the start of the skit to Che.
“You have to stop being likable and answer my question!” Che quipped at one point during the segment, after yet another deflection by Killam’s Brady. Jost spent the majority of the segment applauding Brady’s comments.
