Nikki Glaser doesn’t mince words when she talks about how Ben Affleck failed during the Tom Brady Roast.
Glaser, 39, who won much praise for his material at the roast, admitted that he has yet to rewatch Affleck’s performance.
“I haven’t seen it again as it looked, because I don’t like to see people bombing,” he said in an interview with KFC Radio on Sunday.
‘He didn’t prepare. “He’s someone famous enough that he probably thinks doing this is beneath him, so I’m going to do him a favor,” Glaser said.
“It’s not going to be a big deal,” he said as the radio host added that everyone else “murdered” their set except Ben.

Glaser added: “I’ve had the same kind of thing where you do it and it’s a lot bigger than I thought it would be, I’m just phoning it in.”
“He probably had a pitch to the writers like, ‘Maybe I’ll do an angle where I’m angry about the tweets,'” Glaser said.
“Because probably… that’s his,” as the host added in that part of his presentation, “he was so self-absorbed.”
“There were jokes that could have been used to fill out a set that would have been amazing, but either they couldn’t get it on the phone enough to figure something out, they didn’t practice enough, or they just picked a bad premise and then had to stick to it the entire time.” Glaser said.
“It didn’t work right away, so it won’t work later,” he said.
Glaser wasn’t the only one to criticize Affleck, with many on Twitter criticizing the actor for his lazy attitude.
The performance included a series of awkward jokes and a long rant about social media trolls, with many on Twitter calling his performance the worst of the night.
Even Affleck himself joked that he “probably wouldn’t work again after tonight” before addressing Brady’s former coach, Bill Belichick.

Many fans took to social media, believing she had recently gotten a facelift 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 seems so angry. That’s permanent.’
The anger that person was referring to was Affleck’s disdain for social media, spending most of his set complaining about fans trolling Brady… instead of roasting Brady himself.
