Nikki Glaser pulls no punches when discussing how Ben Affleck bombed at the Tom Brady Roast.
Glaser, 39, who received high praise for her material at the Roast, admitted she hasn’t yet rewatched Affleck’s performance.
“I didn’t rewatch what it looked like because I don’t like seeing people bombing,” she said in an interview with KFC radio on Sunday.
‘He didn’t prepare. He’s someone so famous that he probably thinks it’s too low for him to do this, so I just want to humor you,” Glaser said.
“It won’t be that big of a deal,” she said as the radio host added that everyone else was “killing” their set except Ben.

Glaser, 39, who received high praise for her material at the Roast, admitted she hasn’t yet rewatched Affleck’s performance.
Glaser added, “I’ve had the same type of thing where you do it and it’s a lot bigger than I thought it would be, I’m just phoning it in.”
“He probably had a pitch to the writers of, ‘Maybe I’ll do an angle where I’m angry at tweets,’” Glaser said.
“Because he probably… that’s his,” as the host added that part of his set, “was so self-centered.”
“There were jokes that could have been used to fill out a set that would have been great, but they couldn’t get him on the phone enough to work something out, he didn’t practice enough, or he just chose a bad premise and he had to adhere to that all the time,” Glaser said.
“It didn’t work right away, so it won’t work later,” she said.
Glaser wasn’t the only one to criticize Affleck; many on Twitter took the actor to task for his lazy set.
The performance included some awkward jokes and a lengthy tirade about social media trolls, with many on Twitter calling his set the worst of the night.
Even Affleck himself joked that he “probably wouldn’t work after tonight” before addressing Brady’s former coach, Bill Belichick.

Many fans took to social media to believe he had recently received a facelift ahead of Sunday night’s event.
“Ben Affleck’s facelift looks insane,” said @heyitskenisha while @Hmmmthere added, “Ben Affleck couldn’t afford good plastic surgery? No wonder he seems so angry. That is permanent.’
The anger that person was referring to was Affleck’s disdain for social media, spending more of his time complaining about fans trolling Brady… than roasting Brady himself.
@beerboy182 added: “Ben Affleck debuts a new melting face at the #RoastOfTomBrady.”
@gfLaughsAlot added, “THIS is Ben Affleck? Why does his face look so different? It’s almost like he’s had some tucks and tucks done.”
@cremaschi_J added, “Ben Affleck is on stage, fresh off a facelift,” while @selfdagod added, “What’s going on with Ben Affleck’s face? He looks curious George!’
@notwellpodcast added, “Ben Affleck’s face at the Tom Brady roast looked like Bruce Springsteen after a three-day bender. What is going on?’
@AllisonMaureenZ added, “I know why we think Ben Affleck is always angry. He’s had so much Botox. His face just doesn’t move.’
