Nikki Glaser Says Tom Brady Roast 'Changed My Life Forever': 'I Didn't Know It Was Going to Be Such a Big Deal'

Nikki Glaser tells PEOPLE exclusively about how the Netflix roast of Tom Brady 'changed my life forever' ahead of the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards.

During the BAFTA TV Tea Party in Beverly Hills on Saturday, Sept. 14, the comedian spoke to PEOPLE about what her life has been like since participating in Netflix's roast of the retired NFL star, which aired on May 5. I knew that it was going to be a big moment of my career, but I didn't know that it would be the linchpin that I'll always reference that point as before and after the roast," says Glaser, 40. I did vote for myself, but I just was like, 'We can't bring Dick Van Dyke to the ceremony and then make him sit for three-and-a-half hours and then not give him an Emmy.'
