Nikki Glaser, who recently gave a *chef’s kiss* performance on Netflix’s The Greatest Roast of All Time in (dis)honor of Tom Brady finally set the record straight on why Kim Kardashian was booed during the live taping.
ICYMI!
While appearing on the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast, the comedian recalled having thought the gesture was fueled by Taylor Swift fans given how, just a few weeks prior, the musician released a rumored diss track titled “ThanK you aIMee” about her longstanding feud with the reality star on her new album.

But Nikki then noted that she “ran into someone” the day after the comedy special who was accompanied by a “wild guy who’s a comedian” with a reputation of “starting sh*t.” “I don’t remember who it was...Apparently, he started the boo as just, like, a joke. He just probably had too many drinks or something, and he’s not affiliated with Swifties…[He] just felt like saying a boo into the air,” the comedian said.
“It wasn’t Swiftie-meditated. I do have that on good information. It just kinda caught on too much,” she insisted before adding that the crowd likely chimed in because there were a bunch of “sports fans wanting to have some sort of release to boo” in attendance. “It just caught on too much.”
Once she spilled the much-needed 🍵, Nikki lauded Kim’s response to the entire incident, which admittedly would have personally made me cry, lol.
“I give her so many props. People were just being mean to her because they don’t like her, because they’re jealous, or because they have some other kind of beef that has nothing to do with them, that they’re sticking up for someone else,” she said. “To me, she was really cool to be there. She sat there the whole f*cking show when other people made their little appearance and then got the hell out of there.”
“She sat the whole show and watched everyone for three hours and was such a good sport, laughing the whole time. Then she gets up there and gets booed, doesn’t let it rattle her at all, doesn’t even give it credence, nails her lines that I knew she would because she was great on SNL,” the comedian continued.

Despite Boo-gate™️ becoming kiiiiind of a big deal, it was actually only experienced IRL during the live airing (and on Twitter...Twitter never forgets 👀) because a day later, Netflix ultimately cut the moment out.
“Post edits are standard practice for comedy specials and happen in live broadcasts whether that’s subtitles, adding things or removing things that we can’t do when it’s streaming live,” the streamer’s vice president of Stand-Up and Comedy Formats Robbie Praw explained to the Hollywood Reporter. “It’s part of, quite frankly, the fun of watching it live to not miss those things.”
