As Kardashian approached the podium, ready to deliver her punchlines, she was met with jeers from the audience after starting with, "I know a lot of people make fun of your height," prompting Hart to quickly intervene. His interjection helped simmer down the crowd, allowing Kardashian to proceed with her set.
Once the noise subsided, Kardashian took aim at the gossip linking her romantically to Brady, quipping about their rumored affair. The reality star teased, "Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were, and I'd never say if we did or not. I'd just release the tape," which garnered some laughs.
But she didn't stop there, drawing a parallel between Brady and another well-known sports figure she's familiar with.
"But I do know it would never work out. An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, silky hair. You remind me too much of my stepdad now," she remarked as a side-by-side image of Brady and Caitlin Jenner flashed onscreen, sparking roars of laughter from the crowd. "Part of me thinks you would want to try on my clothes."
Kardashian then proceeded to soften her comedic blows with a more poignant remark. "Honestly, it's hard for me to watch people roast you, but I think enough of my family members have helped defend former football players," she expressed, earning a cheer from both Brady and the audience.
Her biological father, Robert Kardashian, was notably friends with O. J. Simpson, representing him during his notorious trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
In concluding her set, Kardashian ensured Brady knew that her presence was one of support. She ended with another punchline: "Retirement isn't easy; It can be a lot like a bad breakup," she began.
"So I'll give you the same advice that I give all my exes: Good luck knowing the best is behind you. Congratulations Tom. Cheers, everyone to Tom Brady." Receiving applause after her joke, both Hart and fellow comedian Jeff Ross verbally applauded her entire performance, despite its initially rocky start.
Among all the comedians and former teammates of Brady's that had gone before her, Kardashian was the one who received the most negative crowd reaction. However, Hart was there to ensure the situation didn't escalate and helped pacify the crowd.
Despite a rocky start, Kardashian managed to recover and delivered a series of jokes that both the crowd and Brady found amusing, regardless of their content. It seemed as though Brady enjoyed the jokes, even if they were somewhat safer compared to what others, like Drew Bledsoe , have previously said.
