Nikki Glaser, one of the standouts from Netflix’s Tom Brady roast, has revealed that she didn’t get to deliver every joke she had planned during the live comedy event.
During an interview on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show following the roast, the comedian and actress, who earned widespread praise for her set, shared some of the punchlines the audience missed on Sunday night.
“Tom, I love your work — you’ve done on your face,” read one of Glaser’s jokes about the football star’s alleged plastic surgery that she cut. “Seriously, slow down. What is happening with your cheeks? You look like a Ken doll that was microwaved. You love deflating things, stop.”

The FGirl Island star said she also cut a joke about CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), a progressive degenerative disease affecting many NFL players who have suffered repeated concussions and traumatic brain injuries.
“It’s really cool all the proceeds are going to CTE research and the NFL’s coordinated effort to cover it up,” Glaser read. “People don’t know, but it costs millions to murder those doctors who know the truth. … These guys really fucking damage their bodies and brains, all for the sake of men hugging each other in a Buffalo Wild Wings.”
The Greatest Roast of All Time: The Roast of Tom Brady, part of the Netflix is a Joke Festival, was hosted by Kevin Hart and Jeff Ross. It featured the former NFL quarterback taking humorous jabs from comedy icons, friends and former teammates, including Glaser, Rob Gronkowski, Tom Segura and more.
Elsewhere during her interview with host Howard Stern, Glaser also shared the one topic that was off-limits for everyone coming onto the stage.
“We all collectively just decided not to involve his kids too much in anything because they didn’t ask for that,” she said. “So, I couldn’t say, ‘Tom, hopefully, we make out at the after party — you can pretend I’m your son,’” referencing a controversial kiss Brady gave his then-11-year-old son Jack during his 2018 Tom vs. Time docuseries.
“But yeah, there was things like that,” Glaser added. “We all just agreed, ‘Let’s not throw the kids under the bus.’ Even though I just did it here.”
Brady shares a son with his ex Bridget Moynahan, as well as two children with his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, who was also at the center of many jokes throughout Netflix’s comedy event.
