"Everyone's going to think you're a cokehead," Brady told Kreischer.

Bert Kreischer is not a cokehead — and he's thrilled the Tom Brady roast didn't make him seem like one.

The comedian, who is also reportedly the inspiration for National Lampoon's Van Wilder, made a joke involving his bag of nicotine patches during the live show that he's relieved didn't make it to Netflix's edited version of The Tom Brady Roast. He explained the incident to Jimmy Kimmel while joining the host on his late-night show on Thursday.

Kreischer had his nicotine patches in a can in his pocket, but he was informed by the director of the roast that they were too distracting. "So I said, 'Okay, and I put them in a little bag,'" he recounted, only for the moment to then open him up for ridicule by comedian Sam Jay. "She started calling me a fake party animal, that I don't even do drugs, I'm not even dead like the best ones."

He continued, "So, I went into my pocket and pulled out my nicotine patches and I just wiggled them," which then prompted commentary from comedian Andrew Schulz. "Schulz goes, 'You got a bag of blow on you?' And the camera's on me in the Forum and the Forum goes nuts, like, 'This guy brought coke!'"

When Netflix edited together the roast, however, they cut the moment out of the broadcast, much to Kreischer's approval. "Tom comes back and tells me, 'You're about to go viral, everyone's going to think you're a cokehead,'" Kreischer told Kimmel. "But they edited it out thank God. I didn't want to have to deal with my daughters. I've been saying no pills, no powder for years and then dad's rolling in with half an eight-ball."

While Kreischer didn't go viral for the fake cocaine moment, he did make waves for footage of him mouthing along to a teleprompter during comic Tony Hinchliffe's set. Still, he's just happy that his own time at the mic went so well.

"It was terrifying because first of all, it's a big list," Kreischer noted. "It's a big dais, there's a bunch of murderers. But it went real well. It went great. Thank God we followed Kim Kardashian."
