Comedian Nikki Glaser recently shared the boundaries set for comedians during the Netflix Roast of Tom Brady. In an interview with Howard Stern on Sirus XM, Glaser mentioned that jokes about Brady’s children were off-limits as they didn’t want to involve them in the comedy. She also referenced a controversial moment from the 2018 Tom vs. Time docuseries where Brady kissed his son, Jack, during a massage.
Despite this restriction, Glaser and other comedians were free to joke about Brady’s personal life, including his breakup with Bridget Moynahan while she was pregnant with his son in 2006. During the roast, Glaser humorously mentioned Brady’s retirement and comebacks, comparing them to his difficulty in walking away from a situation, like his pregnant girlfriend.
During the show, comedian Jeff Ross made a joke about Patriots CEO Robert Kraft that made Brady uncomfortable. This led to Brady approaching Ross and asking him not to make such jokes again. The incident highlighted Brady’s protective nature towards Kraft.
Glaser also shared insights with Howard Stern about Brady’s reaction to the joke, expressing her belief that Brady felt the need to defend Kraft. Overall, the Netflix Roast of Tom Brady was a mix of light-hearted jabs and sensitive boundaries that comedians had to navigate during the event.
