Tom Brady's top 3 TV appearances

#2 - Family Guy (2006) as Himself (voice)

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane hails from the East Coast and is an avid New England Patriots fan. It comes, then, as no surprise that MacFarlane parlayed his fandom to get Brady to appear in an episode of Family Guy, as well a MacFarlane’s movie, Ted 2. In the Family Guy episode “Patriot Games,” Tom Brady (voiced by himself) sees Peter Griffin beating up several people just to get to the restroom, so Brady recruits Griffin to come play for the New England Patriots.

#1 - Living with Yourself (2019) as Himself

The Netflix comedy-drama starring Paul Rudd is about a man going through an existential crisis, who visits a mysterious spa and unknowingly gets cloned. The show follows his story where two different (emotionally and personally) versions of himself exist in the same place, interacting with family and friends. In the pilot episode, Rudd’s character walks into the spa and sees none other than Tom Brady walk past, asking Rudd if it’s his first time to go into the mysterious spa. When Rudd asks Brady how many times he’s been to the spa, Brady says “Sixth,” referring to his then-six Super Bowl rings.

Viewers could have also taken Brady’s appearance in a show about clones as a sly reference to Brady’s longevity in sport known for short careers due to the physically violent nature of the sport.
