Nikki Glaser gives her take on the viral moment between Tom Brady and Jeff Ross during Best roast ever.
As the roast kicked off on Netflix, Ross mentioned an incident involving Patriots owner Robert Kraft that prompted Brady to get up from his seat and tell the “Roastmaster General” not to “repeat that shit.”
Glaser, one of the featured comedians, is now speaking out about this confrontation.
“I believe it was real,” Glaser said on The Howard Stern Show. “Robert Kraft was not a confirmed guest. I didn’t know he would be there until I got there. And I knew everyone. I was like, “Oh my God, Robert Kraft is here?” Because I think there was a sense that Robert Kraft is kind of like a father figure to Tom, he doesn’t want to sit here and listen to all these jokes about him, so maybe he wouldn’t show up not. And so I was surprised when Jeff made that joke, but I think Tom was actually looking out for him.

Ross made a joke referencing a 2019 incident in which Kraft was charged with soliciting prostitution at a massage parlor in Florida. Prosecutors ultimately dropped misdemeanor charges against the Patriots owner after courts blocked the use of videos from secret cameras installed by police inside the lounges.

“I don’t think Jeff – I hope he wouldn’t mind me saying… that he was a little worried. I mean, we have a conscience about these things,” Glaser said. “Then we wonder, ‘Did that really hurt him?’ He had to do it performatively for Robert, I’m sure. But I’m sure it’s not something Jeff is going to hear about today or anything like that.
In a separate interview, Ross said he thought Brady was joking with him and was not upset by the comment.
