Tom Brady’s astonishing football career shepherded the New England Patriots to nine Super Bowls. Though the quarterback said on his podcast this week that he isn’t nervous on the field, Brady did need a little liquid courage before hosting “Saturday Night Live.”
Brady recalled Monday on the SiriusXM show “Let’s Go!” that “SNL” executive producer Lorne Michaels rejected countless sketches he had rehearsed — mere moments before he took the stage in 2005.
“He was eating his popcorn or whatever the hell he was eating and he was like, ‘No, scratch that,’ and, ‘Not that, and not that,’” said Brady.
