Breaking News:Nikki Glaser slams Ben Affleck for BOMBING during his surprise set at the Tom Brady Roast: ‘He didn’t prepare’
Nikki Glaser is not pulling punches when discussing how Ben Affleck bombed during the Tom Brady Roast.
Glaser, 39, who earned widespread praise for her material at the roast, admitted she hasn’t re-watched Affleck’s performance yet.
I haven’t watched it again back how it looked, because I don’t like to watch people bomb, ‘she said in an interview with KFC Radio on Sunday.
He didn’t prepare. He’s someone who’s famous enough that he probably thinks that this is beneath him to do this, so I’m just gonna do a favor,’ Glaser said.
‘It’s not going to be that big of a deal,’ she said as the radio host added that everyone else, ‘murdered’ their set except for Ben.

‘Because he’s 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 up a set that would have been amazing, but either they couldn’t get him on the phone enough to work out something, he didn’t practice enough, or he just picked a bad premise and then he had to stick to it the whole time,’ Glaser said.
‘It didn’t work right away, so it’s not gonna work later,’ she said.
