Comedian Nikki Glaser recently opened up about some of the jokes she chose not to tell during Netflix’s The Greatest Roast of All Time with Tom Brady. Glaser, known for her sharp wit and no-holds-barred comedy, revealed that she had some jokes prepared that she ultimately decided to hold back.
During the roast, Glaser had planned to make jokes about Brady’s appearance, the NFL’s coverup of CTE, and even his divorce and his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen’s new boyfriend. However, one topic she chose to steer clear of was infidelity, despite having a joke prepared for the mostly-male panel.
Brady’s reaction to M.C Jeff Ross after the roast suggests that Glaser may have made some wise decisions in her joke selection. While she didn’t hold back on poking fun at Brady in various ways, it seems she knew where to draw the line to avoid crossing into territory that could have been inappropriate or hurtful.
Glaser’s decision to leave out certain jokes highlights the delicate balance that comedians must strike when roasting someone, particularly a high-profile figure like Tom Brady. While roasts are known for their boundary-pushing humor, there are still topics that may be off-limits or too sensitive to joke about.
Overall, Glaser’s performance at The Greatest Roast of All Time with Tom Brady was met with praise and laughter from the audience. Her ability to walk the line between edgy comedy and respect for her subject showcases her talent as a comedian who knows when to push boundaries and when to hold back.
