Nikki Glaser said during a recent interview on “Today With Hoda & Jenna” that it’s clear Tom Brady “maybe didn’t consider the backlash from his family and how it would affect them” when he signed up to get roasted in a Netflix live comedy event. Brady has admitted as much, saying on “The Pivot Podcast” that he probably would not do another roast because of how the jokes affected his children. Glaser was widely considered one of the best comedians to roast Brady during the event.
“I also think Tom Brady does not do anything without doing his research and knowing exactly what he’s getting into,” Glaser said, debating with herself over how much Brady knew what he was getting into.
“It’s impossible to me that he didn’t consider what could have happened because there’s roast footage out there that you can watch and go, ‘They’re gonna go this hard,'” Glaser added. “But then, there’s a part of me that thinks that Tom Brady, especially given his career and how much people love him, no one’s ever said a bad thing to him in the past 30 years, so he doesn’t know what anyone’s capable of going there.”

Glaser was one of many comedians who roasted Brady over his divorce to Gisele Bündchen, who started a relationship with her jiu-jitsu instructor after her marriage ended.
“Tom Brady. Five-time Super Bowl MVP, most career wins, most career touchdowns,” Glaser quipped during the roast. “You have seven rings — well, eight, now that Gisele gave hers back. The only thing dumber than saying yes to this roast was when you said, ‘Hey babe, you should try jiu-jitsu.’”
While Brady did not specify on “The Pivot Podcast” which jokes upset his children, many viewers assume it was those targeting his relationship with Bündchen. The NFL icon has three children, one son with Bridget Moynahan and a son and a daughter with Bündchen.
“I liked when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun. I didn’t like the way they affected my kids,” Brady admitted on the podcast. “It’s the hardest part about … like the bittersweet aspect of when you do something that you think is one way and then all of a sudden you realize: I wouldn’t do that again because of the way that it affected actually the people that I care about the most in the world.”
“It makes you in some ways a better parent going through it,” Brady continued. “Sometimes you’re naive. You don’t know … I’m going to be a better parent as I go forward because of it. At the same time, I’m happy everyone who was there had a lot of fun. If we’re not laughing about things, we’re crying.”
During a post-roast interview on “The Howard Stern Show,” Glaser revealed that some of the roast jokes she had planned for Brady were cut from her set. One of the jokes was about Brady’s alleged plastic surgery.
