Nikki Glaser reveals why she CUT joke about Tom Brady kissing his son following 2018 controversy… as she spills on jaw-dropping Netflix Roast
Nikki Glaser revealed a joke she left out of her set at the Tom Brady Roast Sunday, which alluded to a controversy involving Brady kissing his son Jack in the 2018 Facebook Watch documentary Tom vs Time.
The Cincinnati, Ohio-born actress/comedian, 39, appeared on The Howard Stern Show on Monday, where she told Stern that she and the other comedians on stage Sunday agreed to leave Brady’s three children and off their sets .
“We all collectively decided not to involve his children too much in anything,” she said, “because they didn’t ask for it.”
Brady is father to son Jack, 16, with his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan; and son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 43.
Glaser told Stern, 70, about the joke she left out: “I couldn’t say, ‘Tom, hopefully we see the afterparty — you can pretend I’m your son,'” which made the radio icon chuckle.

The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, which was part of the Netflix Is a Joke Fest, was streamed live, which Netflix touted as the first-ever roast to be broadcast live and unedited. The festivities were held at LA’s Kia Forum in Inglewood.
Glaser said the joke was a “reference to him kissing his son” in the 2018 documentary.
She shared her own take on the situation, saying she doesn’t think the NFL icon did anything wrong in the situation.
“My father kissed me on the lips as a child and throughout my adulthood, so I really related to it and didn’t judge in any way,” Glaser said. “Other than that, I thought it was a cute moment that we all took too seriously.”
Glaser continued, “But yes, there were things like that – we all agreed, ‘Let’s not throw the kids under the bus’ – even though I was just doing it here.”
Glaser said time constraints also led to material not being used in her set, and material not being up to par, different or comparable to what others were doing.
“Either it just wasn’t as strong as others, or it hit something that someone else might have touched,” Glaser said. “Or that you’ll see that some of them are just soft.”
