Shaquille O’Neal wants Nikki Glaser to roast him next.
Page Six caught up with the NBA legend Friday night in New Orleans at his Shaq’s Fun House party ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl, where he reflected on the 2024 Netflix special “The Roast of Tom Brady.”
When we asked whom he wanted to see in the hot seat this year, O’Neal, 52, didn’t hesitate.
“Me. Roast me,” he replied almost before we could finish our question. “‘Cause I don’t get sensitive. And that girl that killed Tom Brady — I want her. What’s her name?”
After reminding him of Glaser’s name, the athlete-turned-DJ looked directly into our camera and said, “Nikki, you can say whatever you want about me, my mama, my kids. Let’s do it.”
He continued, “Yeah, me. ‘Cause I don’t get sensitive. I think Tom got a little [offended] with some of the jokes, but I can take it all.”
When we asked whether he thought Brady, 47, was “taken by surprise” that night, O’Neal responded confidently, “Yeah, I know he was.”
Glaser, 40, was among several comedians and athletes who cracked jokes about the NFL icon during the three-hour show, but her set was particularly cutting.
“You retired, then came back, then retired. I get it. It’s hard to walk away from something that isn’t your pregnant girlfriend,” Glaser quipped about Brady leaving Bridget Moynahan in 2006 when the model was expecting their now-17-year-old son, Jack.
Brady’s 2022 divorce from Gisele Bündchen — with whom he shares son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12 — was also a popular topic during the roast, as was her romance with Joaquim Valente.
The model, 44, recently gave birth to her and the jiu-jitsu instructor’s first child together, and an insider told Page Six that Brady reached out to congratulate her.
