Nikki Glaser continued her hot streak of taking down sports stars when she showed up at the ESPY Awards.
The popular comedian, who first went viral by throwing savage jokes at Tom Brady during his Netflix roast, had a fire-blazing appearance at the 2024 ESPY Awards as she took aim at Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Mahomes, and Connor McDavid as she presented the award for best male athlete.
The 40-year-old destroyed Scottie Scheffler over his arrest outside Valhalla Golf Club during the PGA Championship in May, hilariously stating, “The nominees include peak athletes who push their bodies to the limit, and also a golfer,” Glaser started. “I’m sorry, Scottie. I do know that golfing is hard. I mean, there’s putting, chipping, and driving over a cop’s leg.”

Scheffler’s arrest at the PGA Championship, which he was cleared of, had him initially charged with second-degree assault of a police officer and three other misdemeanor crimes.
Nikki Glaser took some time to throw jabs at the Edmonton Oilers and captain Connor McDavid after their loss in the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers.
Glaser also joked that she had been a fan of the National Football League since she “first watched Taylor Swift watch a football game.” She was clearly throwing jabs at the new football fans who started watching the sport after Swift began a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
In the end, Nikki Glaser would announce that Mahomes would win the award for best male athlete.
Nikki Glaser Reacted to Tom Brady’s Regret Over Roast Jokes Upsetting His Children
Nikki Glaser was widely praised for her set during Netflix’s Tom Brady roast.
Tom Brady later admitted on “The Pivot Podcast” that he probably would not do another roast because of how the jokes affected his children.
Nikki Glaser said during an interview on “Today With Hoda & Jenna” that it’s clear Tom Brady “maybe didn’t consider the backlash from his family and how it would affect them” when he signed up for the roast.
