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.

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.
