Comedian Nikki Glaser Uses Taylor Swift Line To Roast Patrick Mahomes At ESPYs
Comedian Nikki Glaser is having A MOMENT these days, as once again she delivered some laughs at the sports world's expense.
Despite being a comedian for years now, Glaser only recently became a household name - at least among sports fans, after she destroyed Tom Brady during his Netflix roast. Her no-holding-back, "it's funny, because it's true," brash and vulgar humor elevated Glaser as one of the better roasters of the night and quickly had people watching her other stand-up specials.
Last night, the 40-year-old was at it again, only this time she brought her verbal daggers out against all the "Best Male Athlete" nominees.
NIKKI GLASER RIPPED ALL THE ESPY BEST MALE ATHLETE NOMINEES
"I've been a huge fan of sports ever since I watched Taylor Swift watch a football game," Glaser began. "It really changed my life, because now I know who Patrick Mahomes is. Before, I only knew him as the guy in the State Farm ads and based on his acting, I just assumed he was the CEO's son," the comedian quipped to kick off the laughs, as millions of first-time NFL viewing Swifties were nodding their heads in agreement, saying "it's true."
Next up, it was the world's No. 1 ranked golfer, Scottie Scheffler, who recently found himself handcuffed and behind bars over a driving mishap as he was pulling into compete at last month's PGA Championship.
"The [Best Male Athlete] nominees include peak athletes who push their bodies to the limit, and also a golfer… "I’m sorry, Scottie. I do know that golfing is hard. I mean there’s putting, chipping and driving over a cop’s leg," Glaser exclaimed to some of the biggest laughs of the night.
Edmonton Oilers hockey phenom Conor McDavid, Shohei Ohtani (and even his felon interpreter Ippei Mizuhara) couldn't hide from Glaser's comedic wrath either as she also ripped into them.
Patrick Mahomes would end up taking the Best Male Athlete award home although apparently being too busy to attend as Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid went up and accepted it on his behalf.
Meanwhile, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Nikki Glaser around a lot more during the upcoming NFL season and especially during future award shows.
