Nikki Glaser came out swinging at the ESPY Awards … cracking a ton of jokes at several athletes’ expense — and Scottie Scheffler’s legal troubles were not off-limits.
The comedian brought out the big guns at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles while presenting the award for Best Male Athlete to “peak athletes who push their bodies to the limit and also a golfer.”
She then apologizes to the golfer in question — Scottie Scheffler — saying she knows it’s difficult to putt, chip and drive … over a cop’s leg.
As you know … SS was facing one felony count in addition to three other misdemeanors, after he allegedly dragged a cop with his vehicle outside of the PGA Championship in Louisville back in May.
Scheffler said he didn’t mean to blow past the guy, adding the whole situation would’ve gone differently if he’d known he was speaking to a cop in body cam footage from the incident.
Jefferson County prosecutors filed to dismiss the charges a couple weeks after the incident … chalking up the incident to one big misunderstanding.
BTW … Scheffler wasn’t the only athlete Glaser took aim at — she also cracked jokes about Tom Brady, the NFL’s obsession with Taylor Swift and Patrick Mahomes. Check out the clip to hear all her best one-liners.
Bottom line … Scottie’s moved on from his arrest — and, Nikki’s joke proved to be a perfect hole-in-one.
Nikki Glaser truly brought the laughs at the ESPY Awards, not holding back as she roasted various athletes, including Scottie Scheffler. During the presentation of the Best Male Athlete award, she couldn’t resist making a joke about the golfer and his recent legal troubles. Despite the humorous tone, the incident involving Scheffler and the cop outside the PGA Championship was a serious matter.
The body cam footage revealed the tense moment when Scheffler inadvertently dragged the cop with his vehicle, resulting in significant charges. However, with the charges later dropped, it appears that the whole situation was a misunderstanding. Glaser didn’t limit her jokes to Scheffler, also taking aim at other prominent athletes like Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes.
Her sharp humor and quick banter kept the audience entertained throughout the event, highlighting the importance of humor even in the world of sports. The ESPY Awards served as a reminder that laughter has its place, even in the midst of intense competition.
