Comedian Nikki Glaser recently appeared on “The Roast of Tom Brady” where she refrained from making jokes about Brady’s son, Jack, but revealed a joke she had cut before the show. She spoke with Howard Stern about a joke referencing a kiss shared by Brady and Jack in his documentary “Tom vs. Time,” but decided not to include it in the roast to avoid involving the kids too much. Glaser found the kiss between Billy and Jack to be a cute moment that was taken too seriously, revealing that her dad had also kissed her on the lips throughout her life.
One joke that Glaser did include in the Netflix special was about Brady’s relationship with his ex Bridget Moynahan, with whom he shares Jack. Glaser joked about how Brady had retired and then come back, comparing it to walking away from something that isn’t your pregnant girlfriend, referencing Moynahan getting pregnant before they broke up. Moynahan has yet to respond to the joke but shared a cryptic Instagram quote about loyalty in response.
Brady’s divorce from Gisele Bündchen and her new relationship with jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente were also topics of discussion during the roast. Bündchen was reportedly deeply disappointed by the jokes made during the show, with a source stating that she is focusing on supporting her children who were affected by the content. Bündchen and Brady, who have two children together, divorced in October 2022 after getting married in 2009.
Glaser mentioned that she and the other comedians decided to avoid involving the kids in the roast as they didn’t ask for that attention. She also found the reaction to Brady and Jack’s kiss to be excessive, relating it to her own experiences with her father. While Glaser’s jokes about Brady and Moynahan’s breakup and Bündchen’s divorce received attention, it was Brady’s personal life that became a central theme of the roast.
Overall, Glaser’s appearance on “The Roast of Tom Brady” generated headlines due to her jokes about Brady’s personal life, past relationships, and family dynamics. While she avoided making jokes about Brady’s son, Jack, during the show, Glaser did reveal a joke she had cut from her routine that referenced a controversial moment between Brady and Jack. The roast was met with mixed reactions from fans and celebrities, with some finding the jokes inappropriate while others appreciated the humor and comedic take on Brady’s life.
