Nikki Glaser pulls no punches when discussing how Ben Affleck bombed during the Tom Brady Roast.
Glaser, 39, who received widespread praise for her material during the roast, admitted she has yet to rewatch Affleck’s performance.
“I didn’t see him again what he looked like, because I don’t like to see people bombing,” 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 it’s beneath him to do this, so I’m just going to do him a favor,” Glaser said.
“It’s not going to be that bad,” she said while the radio host added that everyone had “murdered” their stations except Ben.

Glaser, 39, who received widespread praise for her material during the roast, admitted she has yet to rewatch Affleck’s performance.
Glaser added: “I’ve had the same kind of thing where you do it and it’s a lot bigger than I thought, I’m just on the phone.”
“He probably made a pitch to the writers like, ‘Maybe I’m doing an angle where I’m crazy about tweeting,’” Glaser said.
“Because he probably… it’s his,” as the host added in this 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 amazing, but either they couldn’t get him on the phone enough to come up with a solution, or he didn’t practice enough, or he just picked a bad joke and then he had to stick to it the whole time,” Glaser said.
“It didn’t work right away, so it won’t work later,” she said.
Glaser wasn’t the only one to disparage Affleck, with many on Twitter criticizing the actor for his laziness.
The performance featured a number of awkward jokes and a lengthy rant about social media trolls, with many on Twitter calling his set the worst of the night.
Even Affleck himself joked that he “probably won’t work again after tonight” before addressing Brady’s former coach, Bill Belichick.

Many fans took to social media, speculating that he had recently received a makeover ahead of Sunday night’s event.
“Ben Affleck’s facelift looks crazy,” said @heyitskenisha while @Hmmmthere added: “Couldn’t Ben Affleck afford good plastic surgery? No wonder he looks so angry. It’s permanent.
The anger this person was referring to was Affleck’s disdain for social media, spending most of his set complaining about fans trolling Brady…rather than roasting Brady himself.
@beerboy182 added: “Ben Affleck debuts a melting new face at #RoastOfTomBrady.”
@gfLaughsAlot added: “Is that Ben Affleck? Why is his face so different? It’s almost like he’s done a few pinches and tucks.
@cremaschi_J added: ‘Ben Affleck is on stage fresh from 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’s after three days of madness. What is going on?’
@AllisonMaureenZ added: “I know why we think Ben Affleck is still angry. He’s had so much Botox…his face just won’t move.
