Comedian Nikki Glaser is living her very best life right
now.
OK? She's juggling 2 shows,
including her new comedy special,
Call Someday You'll Die. OK?
And she says that all week.
The Talk that Sorry, what,
Am I speaking English? She's been all the talk this
week after she brought down the house on the roast
on Tom Brady.
Take it out. Take a look.
Tom also lost $30 million in Crypto.
Tom, how did you fall for that?
I mean, even Bronc was like me.
No, that. Not real money like
that. Not Miss Money.
OK. Oh my God, It was the best.
We're upset, obsessed. You won the roast.
You won you. I don't even know it was a
thing to win.
Well, he said it. He said it,
but others did too. It was amazing to like because
nothing I do in comedy is like that competitive where
it's like crowned a winner.
And it was really nice to walk away from that,
people being like you were the MVP.
I've never won anything in my life.
Like, it's it really is a
culmination of a lot of hard years of working and
like the having this moment and if there's nothing like
this and my life is completely changed,
like, wait, I get recognized on the street.
Like, I've always been kind of like problems.
Yeah, like, I like it was overnight.
Like, I was walking around New York for the first
time since this happened last night,
and it's like every other person going like love you
on the road.
Like, I hate to like brag,
but that's like it's. I never thought that would happen
to me of being that recognizable or going to dinner
and,
you know, the chefs sending out extra food.
Because, like, I've always, I now have to like,
dress nicer when I go out because I didn't know
that.
Like, I've never been recognized about fat thinking out a
standing ovation in the house,
which when you're up with all those other comedians to
be just so.
I mean, it doesn't just isn't something that's happened to
me a ton of my life.
I'm sure you heard the news today because Tom Brady
came out,
he was on a podcast and he said,
I actually regret, yeah, participating in this Rose.
Yeah. And I think he probably does.
Like, I feel like maybe he didn't consider the backlash
from his family and how it would affect them.
And I I do understand that.
But I also think Tom Brady does not do anything
without doing his research and knowing exactly what he's getting
into.
So I think it's kind of a thing you say
after the fact.
But, like, it's impossible to me that he didn't consider
what could have happened because there's there's gross footage out
there that you can watch and go,
They're going to go this hard.
But there's a part of me that thinks that Tom
Brady,
especially given his career and how much people love him,
no one's ever said a bad thing to him in
the past 30 years.
He didn't know
anyone's capable of going there.
So he probably thought they'll make fun of my
like, I don't even know
how, how handsome he. Yeah,
like they'll just, yeah. What could you tell while it
was happening that he was kind of
regretting or not really, You know,
like I got a sense that maybe it was a
little more than he had planned for.
He hadn't. He hadn't planned how to,
how to react because you kind of got to practice
like what am I going to do?
And I think by the
mid midway through he had like decided on kind of
like the laughter he was going to do.
But I think at first it kind of Jarred him
because I really don't think he thought
they were going to go there because they're.
The thing is, when they're producing these,
they can't take Tom in and go,
hey, can we do jokes about this,
about this? Because it's like,
it would be too awkward to ask someone.
So it's kind of all just like,
we think we can go there.
We think maybe don't go here.
So we all agreed not to talk about the kids,
but there wasn't any specific guidelines of what to say
and not to say.
And so were you surprised when Tom Brady got up
and he was upset because there was a joke about
Bob Kraft?
Were you surprised when that happened?
Well, I thought it was like maybe a joke or
part of like the
choreograph did beforehand, but it certainly wasn't.
And it was so because,
yeah, I definitely heard later on,
like, was that OK that,
like, you know, we were all questioning,
like, if that wasn't OK,
can we do all these other jokes?
So that was, that was like,
the kind of fun part of it being a live
event is that things like that happen that people can
look at and go,
what was that? Yeah, exactly.
Well, you slayed. Yeah. Most importantly,
it's about you also have a hilarious comedy special.
Can we see a clip?
Yeah,
I'm almost mad at my sister for having kids because
the way I feel about my niece and nephew,
like, if anything ever happened to them,
like, I would,
I'd be OK. Like I'd be OK eventually.
Like, at first it would be the worst.
Oh, it'd be awful. But then,
like, a Taylor Swift album would come out.
Like, I would kind of like rebound.
I would have moments of like,
I'm back to my old self.
But my sister, no, Taylor Swift will get her out
of that.
You know, It's over for her.
If something happens that's extremely risky,
you're so God, it's crazy.
But like that's how I feel.
Like I I I'm exploring my new special,
this decision I've kind of made to not have kids
because I didn't freeze my eggs.
And it's kind of like getting to that point where
if I do go,
I'll adopt. Like I've always I've felt good about that.
But closing this door on that kind of like having
my own kids and exploring that and I think as
much as I go,
it's hard work and I don't need that in my
career.
I just, I'm scared to love something that much a
little bit.
And I and I that's part of it.
You know, I can make it about
oh I don't I I don't want to sacrifice my
career but it's like it's scary to to to love
something.
And I really, I mean I that's what I think
your comedy is so amazing because at the center of
it or real conversation that women are having.
Yes. You know and I have friends that have decided
not to have kids and there's still some shame there.
It's, you know, it it feels like it's,
like, culturally accepted to not have kids.
But there still is so much because
first of all, you see your friends wanting it so
badly,
genuinely wanting it, and you feel like,
what's wrong with me that I don't want it?
Like you kind of feel left out.
And that's kind of what I'm struggling with more than
just should I do it,
'cause I'm kind of sure I don't want it,
but I'm like, why don't I want this thing that
everyone seems to want and and exploring that a little
bit.
But, you know, I I feel like
I can always adopt. And I really feel like I
would like to let you know,
adoption rocks. It rocks. I mean,
you've been such an influence because I just,
I I I have some time.
It does. And I and I really don't care if
the baby looks like me.
It's not really interesting to me.
Like, it's it's OK. I understand what people do want
that,
but I'm OK with that real quick.
You're you're turning 40 or you're 40.
I'm turning 40 and turning 40 in a month.
That's another thing that plays.
And the thing about age,
yes, I love that you just don't have time.
And that's like, well, that's why I do think women
have to have kids. And,
like, this decision is so hard because we have a
limited time.
Men, you could squeeze something out of them when there's
a casket and make something
with it. Do you know what I mean?
Like, it's they have till forever.
And it's not fair. And you can and it's just
the way it is.
It's not like I'm mad about,
mad at men about it.
But there is this thing of,
like, your value just plummeting when you aren't a sexual
being anymore,
when you're not fertile. And that's the irony,
I find, is that I don't want kids.
So my fertility is not an issue to me,
really. But then I'm trying to hold on to it
because it's what gets me attention from men.
The prospect of maybe I could put a baby in.
You might make me hold this door.
I mean, like, really, men help me with bags.
I recently was getting into an Uber and I had
like,
you know, 4 bags with me.
And I looked kind of rough,
you know, just traveling all day.
And the guy just popped the trunk and sat in
the front seat and I go,
is this the first sign of menopause?
That's like
this has never happened to me before.
But those kinds of like,
you know, niceties of life when you start to age
and you kind of start to feel like,
oh, I'm not as visible as I used to be
and reckoning with that.
And it's it's just a true thing And and being
able to accept myself and and struggling with accepting myself.
It's it's it's it's hard.
This is why your comedy is gold.
Thank you. But by the way,
you look fab and you are reckon.
Come on all the you guys are gonna open the
door for you now.
Thank you.
