Nikki Glaser says she ‘didn’t know how big’ her Tom Brady roast was until after Netflix livestream: ‘I will never get this much attention until I die’ | HO
After roasting football GOAT Tom Brady, Nikki Glaser is still adjusting to the sudden notoriety.
The comedian, 39, told Vanity Fair about her ‘overnight’ career ascension following Netflix‘s Greatest Roast of All Time, in which she took aim at the retired NFL star, 46.
‘I didn’t know how big it was until it was over because, obviously, it was live,’ she said. ‘Text messages were rolling in like someone in my life had died.’
Glaser, who has been a comedian for 20 years, broke the internet with jokes about Brady’s divorce from Gisele Bündchen, as well as his ex and co-parent Bridget Moynahan.
‘I ascended in my career more than I ever have, overnight,’ said Glaser. ‘It just doesn’t happen today with how oversaturated the content is — that all eyes are on something like this.

She added, ‘Outside of Will Smith slapping me, I don’t think I’ll get this much attention as a comedian in my life.’
Glaser joked that she has ‘an inkling of what it feels like to be Taylor Swift on a really slow day for her.’
‘Tom Brady knows my name now. In his joke, he didn’t say it fully, but he said “Glaser.” He said it right,’ she raved. ‘I will never get this much attention until I die.’
The Lovers and Liars host said she’d never met the seven-time Super Bowl champion before taking part in the roast.
‘My first time meeting him was when I was up on the podium,’ she explained. ‘That’s the first time I’ve ever talked to him.
‘We didn’t meet backstage. We didn’t have a Zoom call. There was no preface to this. Which made it easier to go hard,’ added Glaser.
She did, however, have an awkward run-in with Brady after the roast, noting he didn’t stay for the afterparty.
‘We didn’t meet before the show,’ Glaser recalled on ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show. ‘I only met him after I got done with my set and gave him a hug and said “thank you” after telling him horrible things about himself.’
‘But then, afterwards, I ran into him in the hall, and I was like: “Thank you so much. Thanks for having me”‘ she added.

Glaser continued, ‘And really quickly he just goes: “You did a great job, good luck with everything.” Which is pretty much like saying: “I’ll never see you again and don’t even try to contact me. Have a good life.”‘
She also responded to reports that Bündchen was ‘deeply disappointed‘ about the ‘disrespectful’ jokes aimed at their marriage and family.
‘You had to go there — it was a roast,’ Glaser told TMZ.
‘l like she’s been roasting me my whole life with how hot she is,’ she added. ‘So I felt my whole life — I felt like she had it coming.’
Glaser clarified that she was just kidding, adding: ‘I love her so much.’
The three-hour special aired live last Sunday on Netflix, featuring sets from Glaser, Kevin Hart, Kim Kardashian, Ben Affleck, Rob Gronkowski, Drew Bledsoe and more.
The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady is now available to stream on Netflix.
