Tom Brady is one of the greatest football players of all time. But a comedian, he is not. The Roast of Tom Brady puts the former quarterback in the hot seat as a killer lineup of comedians, celebrities, and sports stars line up to take shots at him.
Not everybody brings their A-game, as Ben Affleck fans will discover. However, Nikki Glaser absolutely scorches Brady, fellow comedian Kevin Hart (Lift), and anyone in the vicinity of those two. Some of the other comedian guests include Tony Hinchcliffe, Sam Jay, Bert Kreischer, Jeff Ross, Tom Segura, and Andrew Schulz.
Two decades ago, Dave Attell was hosting Insomniac on Comedy Central. Attell may not be experiencing as many all-nighters as he used to, but his quick wit remains in his first stand-up special in years: Dave Attell: Hot Cross Buns.
With Prime Video's wealth of new content every month, even anime fans will find plenty to enjoy. Fans are particularly well catered to after the streamer added Crunchyroll as an optional premium channel. With this addition, Prime's anime catalog has significantly expanded and offers subscribers access to both platforms' content in one package.
While the price is the same as subscribing to both individually, this is a convenient way to make anime on Prime more accessible. Still, new audiences may feel overwhelmed by the options. Thankfully, this monthly-updated guide lets audiences focus on the best anime highlights on Prime Video right now. This guide includes Prime's native library and the premium Crunchyroll channel's content.
For younger viewers and families, Prime Video has the recent arrival, My Spy: The Eternal City, as well as an assortment of films from MGM, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, and Paramount. You can find all of our picks for the best movies on Amazon Prime Video below.
Netflix is all about All American this week. As things currently stand, Cobra Kai is the only scripted series ahead of All American on the list of the most popular shows on Netflix. That's because the sixth season of this hit teen drama has finally arrived on Netflix, which was already streaming the first five seasons of All American.
Among the other new arrivals this week, we suspect that The Decameron could be a breakout series for Netflix as well. This black comedy takes place in the Dark Ages, but it has a very modern spin and Drunk History fans should be right at home with this one. These are just two of the best shows on Netflix right now, and you can find all of our other picks below.

Not to be confused with a certain Oliver Stone film, Jimmy Carr: Natural Born Killer sees the British comedian continue to deliver his signature, shamelessly crass, but undeniably clever, one-liners, which cover everything from veganism, anti-vaxxers, and how to practice proper consent.
Steve Martin and Martin Short are at their best when they are together and the Only Murders in the Building cast members deliver something truly unforgettable in An Evening You Will Forget For the Rest of Your Life, which consists of witty banter, uproarious sketches, and a few moments of great music.
Still in her 20s, Taylor Tomlinson proved herself to be one of the sharpest and boldest comedians working today with her brilliant debut special, Quarter-Life Crisis, in 2020. However, the gold standard of her career might be her second Netflix original, Look at You, for how she cleverly turns her own struggles with family, friends, and romance after being diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, into one hour of laugh-a-minute delight.

John Mulaney is one of the most popular performers in comedy at the moment, and no matter which of his standup specials you pick, you'll immediately see why. Netflix is host to three of Mulaney's specials, (as well as Oh Hello on Broadway, the stage show he co-created with Nick Kroll,) New in Town, The Comeback Kid, and Kid Gorgeous at Radio City. Pick one, you can't go wrong. Mulaney's singular tempo and delivery will have you in stitches in minutes regardless, but if you're looking for the most current bits and biggest sense of showmanship, get thee to Kid Gorgeous, a hilarious, glittering set that plants Mulaney's vaguely old-fashioned theatricality in the splendor of Radio City Music hall, where he plays to an enormous adoring crowd. I love to play venues where, if the guy that built the venue could see me on the stage, he would be a little bit bummed about it," Mulaney says in the opening. His persona is refined to a tee, his timing and ad-libbing are impeccable as ever, but Mulaney's great gift has always been his writing and Kid Gorgeous is a phenomenal showcase for his one-of-a-kind talent for combining spectacular storytelling, description. and payoff with some of the downright weirdest and most absurd jokes on the scene.
Tom Segura has one of those great stage presences that immediately makes you feel like your his friend -- that rare gift of easy charisma that makes you feel like you're the only two people in the room. Alternately raunchy and relatable, Segura's sets serve a peculiar cocktail of acerbic cynicism and genial warmth, breezing through everything from sex, diet, and deviant behavior with the comedian's masterful command of deadpan and self-depreciation. Segura has three sets on Netflix -- Completely Normal, Mostly Stories, and Disgraceful -- and they're all winners, but for my money, it's his first Netflix special, 2014's Completely Normal that still delivers the biggest laughs. Whether he's talking about the insanity of The First 48 or shameful internet history, Segura mines every bit for all the laughs its worth, and the fact that he makes it look so effortless only further confirms he's one of the best in the business.
Anthony Jeselnik is proof that you can joke about anything if you're smart and talented enough -- of course, it helps that being a bit of psychopath is part of his schtick. Jeselnik's brand of comedy is built around being abrasive; he doles out hits and he gets plenty of blowback for his efforts, but he's also a master at toeing the line. As he says in his 2015 Netflix special Thoughts and Prayers "What's funny about Aurora? What's funny about the Boston Marathon? What's funny about your grandmother's funeral? Nothing. Nothing is funny about those things, that's where I come in." As much as he is a champion of wicked one-liners and bone dry delivery, he's also an incredibly savvy joke writer -- he doesn't punch down. The reason he can get away with joking about anything is he never makes the victims or the disenfranchised the punchline. It's one hell of a balancing act to watch and his gift for turning jokes in the most twisted direction shouldn't be understated. His act is like a game of chicken -- who's going to back down first? Him or the audience? And it's never him. Jeselnik's humor is dark as it gets and all but guaranteed to get a wince or a gasp out of even the most anti-PC audience member, but it's also master class in pushing boundaries without being tasteless and delivering scathing cultural commentary without just being an ass.
