Nikki Glaser is one of the best roast masters around… but she learned a valuable lesson about time and place on Thursday — because her postgame joke routine was largely met with crickets.
The comedian was hired to provide some humorous analysis following the New York Jets’ 24-3 win over the New England Patriots on Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” — joining Charissa Thompson, Andrew Whitworth, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ricardo Sherman and Tony Gonzalez on the table.
For those who missed it, here’s the full segment: Late Hits with Nikki Glaser.

The segment — dubbed “Late Hits” — lasted several minutes… and Glaser joked with Amazon’s talent right to their faces before focusing on the game.
Glaser’s material covered a ton of topics… from Ben Affleck‘s divorce with Jennifer Lopez to Aaron Rodgers‘ history of conspiracy theories and silent retreats to match Bill Belichick‘s relationship with 23 years Jordan Hudson.
While some of the moves were clever, it was still pretty weird… as the people at the table didn’t necessarily react with much enthusiasm.

The problem is that Glaser has proven that she is super talented, especially when it comes to making fun of people… and was by far one of the biggest stars of Tom Brady‘s Netflix Roast earlier this year.
But maybe it takes a little practice to get it right… and as Thompson noted, Glaser will be back four more times this season — so maybe the next appearance will be met with more laughs??
