Zack Sharf Digital News Director Nikki Glaser ripped on Ben Affleck for bombing at Netflix’s Tom Brady roast, telling Barstool Sports’ “KFC Radio” podcast that it was abundantly clear the Oscar winner came unprepared to the live taping.

Affleck was one of the event’s surprise roasters. “I haven’t watched it again, like how it looked, because I don’t like to watch people bomb,” Glaser said of Affleck’s roast set. “He didn’t prepare.

He’s someone who’s famous enough he probably thinks it’s beneath him to do this. Like, ‘I’m just gonna do a favor, it’s not gonna be that big of a deal.’ And then you do it and you go, ‘Oh!

This is way bigger than I thought it was going to be. I’m just kind of phoning it in,'” “He probably had a pitch to the writers, probably of like, ‘Maybe I do an angle where I’m mad about tweets?’ Because that’s his thing,” Glaser added, referring to the awkward moment during Affleck’s set where he seemed to know he was bombing and thus told off angry social media commenters. “I don’t think I’ll ever get this chance again,” Affleck said live on stage. “I’m probably never going to work again, actually, after tonight…You guys out there talking shit all right, behind your fucking keyboard, that doesn’t make you a fan.
