Nikki Glaser is one of the best roast masters around … but she learned a valuable lesson in time and a place on Thursday — ’cause her postgame joke routine was largely met with crickets.
The comedian was nabbed to provide some lighthearted analysis following the New York Jets’ 24-3 routing of the New England Patriots on Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” — joining Charissa Thompson, Andrew Whitworth, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Richard Sherman and Tony Gonzalez on the desk.
The segment — dubbed “Late Hits” — lasted several minutes … and Glaser playfully went in on the Amazon talent right in their faces before setting her sights on the game.
Glaser’s material covered a ton of topics … from Ben Affleck’s divorce with Jennifer Lopez to Aaron Rodgers’ history of conspiracy theories and silent retreats to even Bill Belichick’s relationship with 23-year-old Jordon Hudson.
While some of the jabs were clever, it was still pretty awkward … as the folks on the desk didn’t necessarily react with much enthusiasm.
Here’s the thing — Glaser has proven she’s super talented, especially when it comes to making fun of people … and was by far one of the big stars of Tom Brady’s Netflix roast earlier this year.
But perhaps it’ll take some practice for it all to work out … and as Thompson noted, Glaser will be back four more times this season — so maybe the next appearance will be met with more laughs??
