Keegan-Michael Key brought out a gag at the 2024 NFL Honors that nobody could’ve seen coming: one that involved New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito and the classic movie Goodfellas.
Talking with DeVito in the crowd, Key’s conversation with the quarterback quickly turned into Joe Pesci’s famous “Funny? Funny How?” scene with Ray Liotta from Goodfellas.
Alright, this is absolute gold. DeVito’s winning streak with the Giants was one of the most enjoyable moments of the NFL season, and his proud Italian heritage made this Goodfellas gag all the more hysterical.
Seriously, this joke is funnier than most of what you get at shows like the Oscars and Golden Globes.

This is the kind of gag that makes shows like the NFL Honors worth it, as DeVito was a great sport to help bring some movie magic to the biggest night in NFL awards.
Key’s night hosting went really well, and this might’ve been the most creative bit of the night.
