Tom Brady Sees Hints of His Old Mentor Bill Belichick in This 21-Time Emmy Award Winner

In his weekly podcast, ‘Let’s Go!’, the Buccaneers QB, Tom Brady, gave many insights into his life. One such interesting tidbit recently came from him about his experience while hosting Saturday Night Live (SNL).

TB12 owns more Super Bowl rings than Peyton Manning, the quarterback for the Broncos. However, the latter has hosted SNL more often than the former. After admitting that he could be interested in hosting in the future, Tampa Tom discussed his old coach, Bill Belichick, and the most nominated person for a Primetime Emmy.

SNL creator, Lorne Michaels, who is a 21-time Primetime Emmy award winner, has a very similar personality to the head coach of the New England Patriots. “I remember when we did ‘Saturday Night Live’ together, and we did all the skits on that pre-show… And then afterwards we went up to Lorne’s office and everyone was just on the floor, and he’s a lot like Belichick,” Tom Brady said. Michaels and Belichick are decisive.

Despite receiving several accolades, Lorne Michaels is still a mystery figure. The 70-year-old coach similarly avoids discussing his personal life and instead concentrates on his team.

An SNL sketch with Tom Brady was banned

As it is with celebrity hosts, the shows attract many viewers. From Peyton Manning to Michael Phelps, all have hosted the SNL. Phelps’ hosting was not all that great and even landed him on The Rolling Stone List of Worst SNL Host.

Tom Brady hosted the show in 2005. However, a sketch that was written for him to perform did not make it on the show. However, the writer wanted it to.

J B Smoove, an actor-comedian, was also a writer for SNL. Smoove worked with Brady and pitched a skit for him. But they did not execute it. The sketch was about a football player in the “’30s or 40s” The player was the first to “smack another man on the a*s after a good play.” In the 30s, nobody could understand why the player made the gesture after a good game. Therefore, that player was traded to multiple teams. Nobody knew the reason “why he kept smacking people on their a*s after a touchdown, after a catch, after a fumble. He got carried away with it, so they traded his a**.”

The writer shared that he loved the skit and thought that it had the potential of becoming a classic. However, it did not earn the green light.
