Nikki Glaser will not be roasting Kevin Hart.

The comedian and Golden Globes host tells me that has been offered a spot on the dais for Netflix’s upcoming live Hart roast hosted by Shane Gillis.

“I do not have the time right now in my schedule to commit to giving it what I want to give it,” Glaser told me Thursday at the iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, adding, “I love it and when I work hard at it I kill it, but I just don’t have the time to work hard at it and I just recently roasted Kevin Hart at the Golden Globes. I roasted him at the [Tom Brady roast]. I’m coming up short with short jokes if you know what I’m saying.”
