AceShowbiz - Nikki Glaser, the comedian who roasted Tom Brady in Netflix's "Greatest Roast of All Time", has reflected on the transformative experience. During an interview at the Beverly Hills BAFTA TV Tea Party, she described how the roast became a pivotal moment in her career.
Glaser had realized before the roast that it would be a significant event, but she had underestimated its profound impact. She approached the preparation with an Olympic athlete's mindset, determined to give her best performance. Her meticulousness paid off, as her sharp-witted jokes received critical acclaim.
The roast not only boosted Glaser's career, but it also forced her to confront some of her insecurities. She recalls a hurtful comment made by Cybill Shepherd at Bruce Willis' roast that triggered feelings of inadequacy. After the incident, Glaser sought cosmetic enhancements to address her self-perceived flaws.
Despite her newfound fame and success, Glaser remains humble. She insists that her intention is always to be honest and to make people laugh, even if her jokes are deemed tasteless or offensive. She believes that all comedians have a fear of being disliked, and she emphasizes that she aspires to connect with her audience on a personal level.
Glaser's approach to comedy is heavily influenced by her own experiences and fears. Sex, in particular, has been a recurring theme in her stand-up, as she reflects on her insecurities and the societal pressures surrounding it. She hopes that her humor can fill an information void for young women who may not have access to honest and realistic conversations about such topics.
