Call Her Daddy Podcast: w/ Nikki Glaser (Transcript)

And I do feel like I’m really nice, and it does juxtapose so crazily with how I am on stage, and especially roasting. I feel like the roasting stuff comes from a place of how I feel about myself. I have low self-esteem, and so I bully myself so hard that I am able to do it to other people because I’m able to do it to myself. So I think that’s where I kind of— when I think about what I’m going to write about people, I’m like, “What would devastate me if I was this person?”

ALEX COOPER: I remember reading somewhere where you were like, “I just think about if I’m in a room and someone’s going to roast me and I’m like, please don’t say that one thing, and then they say it.” Like, that’s where you’re coming from, which is great.

NIKKI GLASER: That devastates them.

ALEX COOPER: But I think this is good. This is like good PR to let everyone know you’re not an asshole. You’re good at roasting, but you are a nice, sweet Midwest lady.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah.

Midwest Men and Relationship Types

ALEX COOPER: You being from the Midwest— I can’t help but think, because I know your guy is from the Midwest, right? What is a Midwest man like?

NIKKI GLASER: Love sports, wholesome. I think every guy— I like a guy that’s a little bit collegey, immature, preppy. I don’t know, I think you’re attracted to whatever you were attracted to in high school. And for me, the popular boys were like, played soccer, lacrosse, preppy, white hats. I don’t know. I think it’s just a good smile. I don’t know.

ALEX COOPER: I love how you just said you’re like— you know, like the immature frat boy. I’m like, all of us are like, yes, but also we’ve tried to move away. We’re working on it. Thank God I didn’t marry the guy that I was attracted to in high school.

NIKKI GLASER: Is he some version of it though? Like, can you see— is he like an elevated version of that? A more evolved—

ALEX COOPER: Maybe I took it a little too far in high school.

NIKKI GLASER: Okay, so you OD’d?

ALEX COOPER: I’m that kind of guy.

NIKKI GLASER: But basically that’s the best thing to do, like burn out and be like, “I can’t do it anymore,” and just be disgusted by the thing that you once were addicted to.

Love Is Blind and the Midwest

ALEX COOPER: Did you see this season of Love Is Blind? In Ohio?

NIKKI GLASER: Oh yeah, I did.

ALEX COOPER: So like, that to me is like a Midwest man.

NIKKI GLASER: Yes, I think so too.

ALEX COOPER: And they— I think they thought that Ohio was going to be like, “This is going to be so fun.” And I remember Nicholas Shea in the reunion being like, “I’m mortified that you guys are representing me as an Ohio boy,” because I guess he’s from Ohio. And that Midwestern man didn’t come through as a gentleman.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah, but would you ever do Love Is Blind if you were like a regular girl? Like, no, would you?

ALEX COOPER: Because you were going to—

NIKKI GLASER: I think I would.

ALEX COOPER: You were, because you said if they were—

NIKKI GLASER: If I was single, I would be really— because this is the thing that I don’t like about that show is that they go— you know, like, “This would have worked, but I have a type.” And it’s like, well, if you have a type, you don’t go on Love Is Blind.

ALEX COOPER: Love Is Not Blind.

NIKKI GLASER: But that’s not for you then. If you are someone— and by the way, your type clearly hasn’t worked for you, so maybe let go of your type.

ALEX COOPER: Don’t you think though, the only people that work is yes, if there was love, but then they actually like, “Oh, and I am attracted to the person.” They’re like, “F* yes, I got lucky.” So it’s not blind.

NIKKI GLASER: It’s not blind. We’ve determined that. But it’s still fun. And you can just hear if someone’s hot. I feel like most of the time it’s really rare where someone’s really taken aback by what they get. I feel like there’d be clues, or just a voice. I think that’s important. That’s why I think Hinge has where you can leave a voice message so you can hear their voice, because voice is huge. People don’t think about voice.

ALEX COOPER: That’s a good point. No one’s ever been so taken aback.

NIKKI GLASER: That would be my biggest fear— the wall parts and he’s kind of like gently touching you, and you see their face kind of sink.

ALEX COOPER: But you’ve got a good voice, so you’d get far.

NIKKI GLASER: Okay, thank you so much.

Talking About Sex: How Their Careers Began

ALEX COOPER: We both started our careers kind of talking about the same topic, which was sex, and we talked a lot about sex.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah.

ALEX COOPER: Was that extremely intentional for you in the beginning?

NIKKI GLASER: You don’t know. I think it was what was easiest for me. It was the thing I wanted— what felt like I wanted to talk about. Is that the same for you?

ALEX COOPER: Like, at the forefront of what I was interested in every day.

The Mechanics of Sex, Foreplay, and Female Pleasure

NIKKI GLASER: And people would always dismiss female comics because all they do is talk about their vaginas and sex and it’s so easy. And I go, it’s easy for me to talk about that, but why would you want me to do something that’s not easy? Do you want to see Paul McCartney play pickleball or something that’s hard for him? Don’t you want to see him do what’s easy for him — a musician to play? Why do you want me to talk about something that’s— do clean material, which would be hard for me to do. I don’t know why.

I always said, as soon as I’m not interested in sex, I’ll stop talking about it. And I kind of have, as I’ve gotten older and my libido has kind of taken a dive, I do talk about it less. It’s become less and less a part of my act. And so I stayed true to that.

But I just want to talk about what I’m interested in. No one talked about sex when I was coming up. No one talked honestly about sex. I grew up before podcasting. I would have been all over podcasts listening to girls have frank conversations about what it’s like to have sex. So when I first started doing comedy, I was just like, I want to talk about this thing that I’ve been so scared of.

I didn’t have sex until I was 21 because I was scared. I was going to be bad at it. What do you do with a penis? What do they look like? How do you even start kissing a boy? My friends would just hook up and they’d be like, “We made out and he went down on me.” And I’m like, but how do you even— like, he walks in your room, then how do you make out? Who makes the first move? Does he put your hand on your shoulder? I wanted the mechanics of it, to be prepared, and nothing prepared me for that. So when I was able to start talking freely about anything into a microphone, I was like, I’m going to start telling girls like me who are scared what’s up in there.

ALEX COOPER: I think that is so f*ing normal. And then some people are so disturbed by the concept of you being so comfortable speaking about sex, which half the time for me also, it made me more comfortable with sex the more I spoke about it.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah.

ALEX COOPER: Some of the times I was even overly talking about it and I wasn’t actually as confident as I was totally presenting.

NIKKI GLASER: Oh no, me neither.

ALEX COOPER: But it made me more confident.

NIKKI GLASER: Yes. It made me feel like when I was having sex, it was almost like I was collecting data — not to make fun of the person, but to just maybe make fun of myself. I mean, sometimes during sex I’m like, this is so weird what we’re doing. It’s so funny to me that we go on a date with someone and you’re just getting coffee and learning about each other, but it’s really to determine if you’re going to lick each other’s genitals pretty soon. Which is so crazy. That’s where you pee from. There’s pee and poo down there, and we’re going to put our mouths on it.

In high school, I remember my friends started blowing guys and I was like, “You did what? Like, putting your mouth where a guy pees from?” I couldn’t even comprehend it.

ALEX COOPER: No, it’s crazy.

NIKKI GLASER: I couldn’t. I thought my friends had gone to the dark side. I didn’t understand how you could do that. And it still fascinates me to this day that we get so animalistic, we get so horny that it makes us dumb enough to be like, “I want to put my mouth down there.” Yet I wouldn’t share a soda with a friend because they might have a cold, but I’m going to lick this guy’s asshole. That’s crazy. That’s funny.

ALEX COOPER: The licking of the asshole — you’re so right. It really takes it to another level where you’re like, what’s wrong with us? But everyone’s doing it. Well, maybe not the licking of the assholes, but like, you—

Quitting Drinking and Learning to Get Horny

NIKKI GLASER: But that’s what I learned. The way I was able to initially have sex was I drank. I finally got drunk enough where I could get comfortable and feel at ease to hook up with a guy because it was so scary to me. And then I quit drinking in 2011 or something. But I quit drinking and I just stopped hooking up because I just couldn’t do it. I was too nervous.

And then I realized that I have to get horny enough to get drunk brain, because when you’re horny enough, you’re just like— guys get horny so fast they act like cavemen. They’ll go from having a normal conversation and then they’re so quick, they’re so gross. But in their right mind, they would never make that face. If you were like, “Make a funny face,” they would never even make that face because it’s so humiliating. Yet they become that because their brain becomes stupid because their horny chemicals do exactly what drunk does to you.

So for me to hook up, I would have to actually get horny, which was a foreign concept to me because I had never allowed myself to do it without alcohol getting in the way first.

ALEX COOPER: Well, and because half of the time when you’re so young and if you are hooking up with boys, it’s happening so quickly for them. And as a young girl, you’re like, “Oh, I guess I’m supposed to be enjoying this.” Meanwhile, nothing is happening downstairs.

NIKKI GLASER: Shout out to all the girls out there that are hooking up for the first time. I’m talking like girls in their 30s sometimes who have not had an orgasm. I have a friend that was like, “I don’t think I’ve ever had an orgasm.” And I was like, that’s normal. Then you haven’t, because you would know.

ALEX COOPER: You would know.

NIKKI GLASER: You would know. I used to be that way too, of like, it feels okay, it feels good — because he’s not going to give it to you.

ALEX COOPER: You can’t rely on him giving you your first one.

NIKKI GLASER: That’s it.

ALEX COOPER: You gotta find it yourself.

NIKKI GLASER: You have to find it yourself. They don’t care.

ALEX COOPER: They’re going to be done before you even were starting to get in the mood.

Foreplay, Toys, and the Orgasm Gap

NIKKI GLASER: It’s crazy how fast they get into it versus us. It is truly insane. I have done so many standup bits about foreplay and how important it is, and almost how hacky that is to even say. I always felt like an ’80s comedian — “Ladies, we need foreplay. Men don’t do foreplay.” I would even hear about foreplay and women complaining about it before I ever had sex. And I was like, guys hate when you joke about that. Guys always go like, “Oh, foreplay, I have to wine and dine her.” So I was always like, I’m not going to be a woman that complains about that. But then you start having sex and you’re like, how are you guys not just rubbing over my jeans a little bit longer before you go in?

ALEX COOPER: Foreplay to them is a blowjob. And you’re like, but I’m still— my pants aren’t unbuttoned, Jeremy. Like, where am I in this equation?

NIKKI GLASER: Please, any men who are listening, bring back dry humping. Make her beg you to put it in. That’s when you put it in, because she will when she’s ready. But it’s so awkward when they try before and you are not greased up and you feel insecure, like there’s something wrong with me, I’m menopausal or something.

ALEX COOPER: I had a boyfriend once who really couldn’t do foreplay, and he would sometimes take a shower after sex, and then I would bring out my vibrator after and do it too. He’s fully gone thinking we had the time of our life, and I’m like, “All right, here we go.” Because right as he was finishing, that’s when I just started getting into it.

NIKKI GLASER: It literally happens. I’m not kidding you. Almost every time. It is really rare that we sync up. And I have a partner that I’m able to communicate with and has seen my act a thousand times, telling him like, “I need more.” But then you just— I think we’re so conditioned, and I still am, to feel like a man has a boner, so do something with it. Like, don’t inconvenience him when he has a boner. He doesn’t want to kiss your neck and whisper sweet nothings when he has a boner. This is a problem we have to take care of right now, and I don’t want to make him feel uncomfortable. It’s always so much about not wanting to make men feel bad or angry at me or resentful of me.

ALEX COOPER: And I can see so many women listening to this, and it is so annoying that no one talks about that. I bet a majority of the women who are watching today, if they are in heterosexual relationships, they’re like — yeah, I would say the past 8 times I faked it. Unless you’re with a partner who’s like, “I’m going to go down on you for 20 minutes, then we’re going to get your vibrator out, then we’re going to get in it.”

NIKKI GLASER: Bring toys into the bedroom, please, God. Men, I always say, don’t be threatened by it. Your dick alone is great, but let’s say your dick’s a B+ in terms of just sex with just us. And if my vibrator alone is probably an A, but together, A+. I can’t get to the A+ alone. I need your dick too. So you’re contributing to the A+ part of it. You need to be there to make it an A+. Don’t think it’s just about the toy.

ALEX COOPER: But so does my vibrator.

NIKKI GLASER: But together we can change the world. Toys need to be necessary. When women are having sex without toys, I don’t understand it. And maybe I’m dependent on it. If I didn’t have a toy, I wouldn’t be able to masturbate. I couldn’t just do my hand.

ALEX COOPER: Oh no, no, no. I don’t know how— I’ve had some dark days where it died and you’re like, “We gotta get through this.”

NIKKI GLASER: Looking at your toothbrush like, “Is that— can I use my Pulsar Oral-B?” I’ve done it, but I’ve been happy.

ALEX COOPER: I’ve tried with the fingers a couple times because it got so dark.

NIKKI GLASER: And I— can you not?

ALEX COOPER: I’ve done it a couple times where it was like I really had to take my brain to an imaginative place, and I did it, but I don’t choose that life and I don’t claim that.

NIKKI GLASER: I couldn’t do that. It’s like speaking another language to me when I find out. Like, if you’ve ever found out a friend speaks fluent Spanish or Russian or something, you’re like, “What? Why haven’t you been busting this out everywhere?” That’s how I feel about women who can masturbate with their hands.

ALEX COOPER: But I feel like those are the girls that are fully having squirting and orgasms in high school.

NIKKI GLASER: And girls who were— my friends were all masturbating in middle school and none of them told me about it. I felt so betrayed. In my 20s I finally started masturbating, and they’re like, “Oh yeah, I’ve been doing that since I was 11.” I go, “11? Why didn’t we talk about everything? Why didn’t you tell me?” It didn’t even occur to me.

ALEX COOPER: I was the same as you. No one told me. And then in college, I was telling my friends— and I was like, oh wait, God. But I went to Catholic school.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah.

ALEX COOPER: So everyone was like, hush hush about that s*.

Masturbation, Shame, and Sexual Awakening

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah. But did you not masturbate because of shame, or were you just a little bit of both? I didn’t know.

ALEX COOPER: I didn’t either. I thought it was just sex. I didn’t know there was masturbating. And then when I started to really understand, then I was like, oh, there’s a thing called masturbating. But I thought it was only for men.

NIKKI GLASER: Yes.

ALEX COOPER: So I didn’t know there was an option for women.

NIKKI GLASER: Totally. I didn’t either. And even if I would sometimes scratch my vagina, I’d be like, that feels good. But it was never good enough for me to keep going and figure that out. I just feel like I was kind of desensitized to my body.

Although one time I do remember sitting on a railing. I still drive past the railing sometimes in St. Louis. So my friend’s front porch, and it had one of those things on top of the railing that’s like a little bulb. And I remember sitting on it and it went up my butt a little bit, and I was like, oh, that feels so good. I remember feeling that that feels good in a bad way. Like you’re a sick person. Like a butt plug. It was like a butt plug — we were waiting for our moms to pick us up and I just remember that was the only memory I have of having a sexual feeling that was like, that’s naughty. I just got a feeling from something in my butt.

ALEX COOPER: Picturing you every time.

NIKKI GLASER: To me, I love anal sex. I do.

ALEX COOPER: I was going to say, I feel like that was a little precursor to what was to come for you.

NIKKI GLASER: It was foreshadowing. For sure.

ALEX COOPER: I’m also dying at you and your friends and their mom wondering why, every time she comes to our fing house, she’s sitting her fing ass on top of our f*ing— just alone out there. She’s not even home.

Toning It Down: The Price of Popularity

NIKKI GLASER: Because I don’t really talk about it as much — I don’t know, it’s just, I’ve gotten it shamed out of me being in the business.

ALEX COOPER: I know.

NIKKI GLASER: The more popular you get, the more you have to kind of tone it down and be more TV friendly. Even when you’re doing things that aren’t censored.

ALEX COOPER: I know.

NIKKI GLASER: Like, if I want the Golden Globes to have me back, I can’t be talking about anal all the time. But it’s like, I’m not saying kids go out and do anal. It’s just something that I think it is.

ALEX COOPER: And I do think we’re both lucky though that we did it in the beginning of our career. I do feel like I’m tapped out. I’m like, I’m having fun with you right now because I can tell we’re both on the same page — about our old days. I’m bringing up bits I used to do like 20 years ago. But it’s not at the forefront of my brain or my brand anymore.

But okay, I did get some quotes from both of us from our OG days, and I want you to tell me if it’s a quote from me in the early days of Call Her Daddy, or if you said it in an OG stand-up routine.

The Quote Game: Who Said It?

NIKKI GLASER: Okay, okay, okay. Oh my God, because I do forget so much.

ALEX COOPER: Trust me, me too. I had my team pull this, and some of these I was in shock that I said. Okay, number 1: “I just want to be a whore.”

NIKKI GLASER: I think that’s me.

ALEX COOPER: That’s so you.

NIKKI GLASER: I feel like — yeah, I do relate to that. I don’t want someone to look at me like a whore when I’m walking down the street, but when I’m in the bedroom, I want a guy to be like, “What the f* is wrong with you?” I really like to let my freak flag fly in the bedroom.

ALEX COOPER: The way you were just so proud. You’re like, that’s me.

NIKKI GLASER: You literally were like, talk.

ALEX COOPER: So proud. I’m like, don’t even think that’s you for a second. I’m sure we could find somewhere that you’ve said that. Oh, without a doubt. But that was so you.

NIKKI GLASER: Okay.

ALEX COOPER: That was you. Okay. “I’m feeling light, tight, easy breezy, beautiful vagina.”

NIKKI GLASER: Okay, at first I was thinking that was you, and then I was like, I feel like I often put in the CoverGirl tagline to things, so I’m going to say it’s me.

ALEX COOPER: We are the same person. It’s me. What? Dude, it’s me. Easy breezy beautiful — I do the same thing. It’s me.

NIKKI GLASER: Oh my God, dude, I would have bet so much that was me.

ALEX COOPER: It’s pretty. I just remember saying that one on Call Her Daddy. I have no idea why I was saying it in context. But it’s such a girl thing to say.

NIKKI GLASER: Read it again.

ALEX COOPER: “I’m feeling light, tight, easy breezy, beautiful vagina.”

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah. Okay. So you’re just having a good vagina day. And some days they’re not —

ALEX COOPER: Oh, well, next one. Ready? “The cobwebs have formed and my pussy feels like it’s sewn shut. The next time I have sex, I’ll be a born again virgin.”

NIKKI GLASER: You.

ALEX COOPER: What the f* was I on? When my team pulled this quote, I was like, “The cobwebs have formed. It feels like it’s sewn shut.”

NIKKI GLASER: I know — it got too tight. You were tight, light, easy breezy. And then it got so tight it got sewn shut and cobwebs had formed.

ALEX COOPER: When I’m rereading these things, I’m like, no, that’s —

NIKKI GLASER: These are f*ing funny.

ALEX COOPER: This next one sounds like it would be you, but it is me. But now after that context — “Put it in the ass so I know what we’re working with.” Wait, you said that? I said that, but it feels like you would say that now.

NIKKI GLASER: It does sound like me. I think I already know what I’m working with by the time I say that, but I put it in the ass.

ALEX COOPER: You must have been referencing someone else or something. Without a doubt. I think I also just did it to rage bait people. I didn’t like anal and I would always just be like, “Put it in my f*ing ass.” I thought people thought it was just funny, and I’m like, oh my gosh. And people would get so mad about that.

NIKKI GLASER: So mad about stuff. It’s like, you don’t have to do it.

ALEX COOPER: Okay, this one’s you. Oh wait, no, I’m not supposed to tell you that.

NIKKI GLASER: Oh yeah.

ALEX COOPER: Okay, I’ll read it to you. “I swear to you, you can squirt. I didn’t think I could and now I know I can do anything.”

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah, that was me. And I haven’t since that joke, I don’t think, because squirting — it’s not like I could control it. It has happened a couple of times, and I will say it was always my own creation. I don’t want to give anyone else credit for that.

ALEX COOPER: That is so important to clarify.

NIKKI GLASER: It’s happened where you’re just like — has that ever happened to you?

ALEX COOPER: No.

NIKKI GLASER: Sorry to pry, but I don’t know if we’re there.

ALEX COOPER: Is this a safe space? No.

NIKKI GLASER: I think it happened once, or maybe another time, but it was insane. You literally feel like you spilled a glass of water.

ALEX COOPER: I thought that was — then I just peed myself. Yeah, because you’re like, oh, it might. And sometimes men are so stupid, you could pee a little and they’d think it was —

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah, yeah, that’s smart.

ALEX COOPER: Yeah, yeah, you can f* with that.

NIKKI GLASER: Water broke.

ALEX COOPER: Yeah, they’d also believe that. They’re so fing stupid. Okay, “I have a vagina that resembles a hastily packed suitcase.”*

NIKKI GLASER: That’s me. What? I mean, that was just a joke about how I have lips, and sometimes when you shut a suitcase when you’re in a rush, there’s stuff hanging out of it. So that was just —

ALEX COOPER: It’s good.

NIKKI GLASER: That’s a descriptive way of describing — that’s a way to describe my vagina that has haunted me forever. People always be like, “Hey, suitcase.” So it’s — it has good days and bad.

ALEX COOPER: That it stuck with you.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah, it’s definitely — I shouldn’t have shared that. But I keep doing it, and for some reason, I feel like it gives — you make fun of the things that you’re insecure about so that you can take control of them. So if you make fun of it about me, I gave you that, so you don’t really get to win.

ALEX COOPER: When you’ve never seen my vagina, so shut the f* up.

NIKKI GLASER: Yes, exactly, exactly. And anyone that has, no complaints — it’s well reviewed.

Looking Ahead: Future Career Plans

ALEX COOPER: So now that we’re done with sex, do you have any topics that you’re really thinking of exploring in the future for your career?

Beauty, Aging, and the Pressure to Look Good

NIKKI GLASER: Because we got a long way to go. It’s the stuff that I’ve been into. I’m obsessed with beauty and aging and what it means to be a woman, and the struggle of wanting to be your own person and establish who you are on the inside — and that should matter. But also being like, well, a big part of any kind of brand when you’re in show business as a woman is how you look and presenting fable and trying to get to both women and men. Women like it when you look fable to men too. And then men will say, well, we don’t like big lips and we don’t like a lot of makeup. And it’s like, well, the women and the gays do, and they are determining what is marketable. I’m very fascinated by psychology and sociology — but also just beauty in general. I think it’s fascinating.

ALEX COOPER: Well, it’s fascinating because you kind of can’t win as a woman, and there is obviously such a double standard — it’s tired of talking about at this point. But for women and our bodies and our looks, it’s just such a fixation that you constantly are trying to pivot because you don’t know where to meet. And when you are in this industry, you do have to kind of appease the people to some degree, or you just have to lean out and be like, I’m just going to be completely fing railroaded by everyone and told I’m an ugly f if you don’t try. And then they’re like, she doesn’t care about herself. So you’re like, where do I — or if you’re trying too hard, or if you’re getting too much done.

NIKKI GLASER: And then there’s people always pointing to, well, Pam Anderson doesn’t wear makeup anymore and everyone loves it. I was like, well, we love that as a reaction to what she used to be. Like, if she came out of the gates like that, we wouldn’t know who she is. No offense — she’s an amazing talent. But we love that because it was a reaction to that.

And then people will always cite some woman who doesn’t wear makeup. I had a joke about people saying, well, you’re a comedian, you don’t need to be hot. Why do you care about looking hot? And I’m like, well, I’m a brand too. And also, I like being on TV, and I know what works on TV. And people would say, you’re like Joan Rivers — you don’t need to be pretty. And I’m like, Joan would be so f*ing offended by that, by the way. Joan was so smart, one of the best joke writers of all time, best comedians of all time. And she was obsessed with her looks — obsessed — because she knew that’s what mattered.

She felt ugly coming up and she would make fun of her looks, and people felt like they could call her ugly because she would call herself ugly. And my joke was like, I do want to be Joan Rivers, because I plan on dying on an operating table too — which she did. She died undergoing a medical procedure to stay — to look younger. It was on her vocal cords, but it was about appearing younger. And it is important, unfortunately.

Ali Wong on Nikki Glaser

ALEX COOPER: I want to read a quote too, because another female comedian, Ali Wong, said about you — she said, “For the longest time, we were led to believe that physically showing any sort of sexiness was going to work against you in stand-up. She’s pulling off what some of us might have thought was impossible.” And she’s talking about you. Do you agree with — that is so nice.

NIKKI GLASER: I would say I’m not trying to be a trailblazer of like, women can be sexy and funny. I just like pretty girls on TV. I always wanted to be one of them and I wasn’t in high school. I always aspired to that. And so when I have the ability to dress up and hire stylists who can elevate me and glam teams to make me the best looking version of myself, why wouldn’t I utilize that? It’s kind of fun.

But I will say the first comedian that I saw that I was like, I want to be like her, was Sarah Silverman. And what I loved about Sarah Silverman was that she was stunning — so pretty. Every guy I knew was like, I f*ing love her and wanted to bang her. She was adorable, so approachable to women too. So pretty, so stunning, so cool and nice seeming. But she also said horrible things — really dirty, crass things — but she also had this likability. And I was like, I’m really attracted to that, where you can look a certain way, but the stuff that comes out of your mouth — you get away with more because of how you present. Not that it was ever intentional.

I have to admit, it was important. I never felt pretty when I was young, and it was always something that bothered me. I felt it was unfair and unjust that my sister was the pretty one and I wasn’t. I really resented it and I have a complex about it. And so it’s something that when I have the means to do so, I pursue. I’m not doing everything I can, I’ll tell you that. There’s a lot of stuff I’m not doing.

Facelifts, Fillers, and the Reality of Recovery

ALEX COOPER: Okay, hold on, because you have been so open about some of the things that you’ve gotten done. What is on your wish list?

NIKKI GLASER: A facelift for sure is going to happen in the next 2 to 5 years, without question. I went the other day and got a little filler in my upper lip — I haven’t done filler for a while. I do Botox, filler, and stuff every year, every 6 months — Botox more regularly. And he was just like, can I just show you some stuff that I would maybe — I didn’t even ask. I’ve gone in for the facelift consult before, to multiple doctors, and seen what they could do. But he was showing me some stuff and I was like, that’s pretty great. It just takes 10 years off your face. It’s not that noticeable.

The problem is the recovery. I don’t think it’s talked about enough. Women are just like, yeah, she got a facelift. And I’m always like, she had to be off camera for months and months, had to stay inside, had drains in her face. It’s painful. That’s the part that I’m like, yikes.

ALEX COOPER: I know, you’re so right. Everyone’s talking about facelifts nowadays because it’s like, get rid of the filler, get rid of the Botox, just get the facelift.

NIKKI GLASER: And they don’t talk about the recovery at all. Even people who have done it — I’m always like, tell me about the recovery. And they kind of — it’s almost like childbirth. They kind of forget the pain of it and they go, just do it. But I recently had someone really close to me go through one, and it is brutal. And I was hanging out with someone who had a facelift 2 years ago, and she’s like, oh, my face is still numb all over here, I can’t feel anything. She looks stunning, but it’s super risky too.

I always look at people who have face work — I’ve never been one to judge any woman that’s done face work. If anything, I’m like, she’s so brave. To have your face cut open and it might not look good — what if it doesn’t look good?

ALEX COOPER: But even hearing all these things, do you think you’re going to do it?

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah, because I’m going to pick someone that has never failed and has done all the women that you just —

ALEX COOPER: You know who you’re talking about, I think.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah, I mean, there’s a couple of them, but I know what —

ALEX COOPER: Who we’re both thinking of. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

NIKKI GLASER: And you pick the guy who — it’s this new thing that has happened with face work in the past 2 or 3 years, where it’s just an actress who has been around for 15 or 20 years and she’s always been pretty, but something happened at a red carpet and you go, huh, I never realized she was a supermodel. People don’t even think about it because it looks so natural — stunning and natural. People just go, I guess I’ve just been missing the boat on this one. And then they go, I gotta take whatever probiotic she’s taking.

ALEX COOPER: That’s a facelift, babe.

NIKKI GLASER: It’s always a facelift. And that’s why it’s so funny to me when people go, don’t get face work, it’s going to look horrible. But you’re only noticing the bad stuff because you don’t notice the good stuff. You just think she’s drinking more water.

ALEX COOPER: It’s so —

NIKKI GLASER: Because that’s what she told you, because they have to lie — because if they tell you the truth, they’ll get shamed for it completely. Having a face that is manicured in that way is just a status symbol of wealth. It’s not a way to show people you’re beautiful or f*able — it’s to show people you have money. It’s like a car.

ALEX COOPER: I have money.

NIKKI GLASER: It’s the new status symbol. To not have a normal face is to tell people you have money, which is very important in our society now — to just promote how wealthy you are. And that’s the new way to do it.

Botox, Blindness, and Double Standards

ALEX COOPER: That is a really good point. Do you think there is such a thing as Botox blindness?

NIKKI GLASER: Oh yeah. I mean, for Botox, I feel like —

ALEX COOPER: Well, I’ve seen it when people pull it up too high, but I feel like those are brow lifts.

NIKKI GLASER: Lifts.

ALEX COOPER: Yeah, like Botox — I don’t think — like, if you can’t move your forehead, who cares?

NIKKI GLASER: It doesn’t matter. I feel like there are so many girls, friends of mine from high school and college, who just won’t do anything because they’re so scared. Back in the ’40s and ’50s, women were so embarrassed to reveal that they dyed their hair. And Botox is the new that. It’s not shameful anymore — we’re all doing it, and it makes you look better. You would never imagine having to hide that you had highlights, but that used to be a thing that women were ashamed of.

ALEX COOPER: They did a box dye on their hair, and now it’s like, who gives a f*? I remember girls posting online being like, oh my God, I told my boyfriend I was getting Botox and he started freaking out, and then I came home and he’s like, when are you going to do it? And she’s like, well, I did it.

NIKKI GLASER: If a guy freaks out, they’re just scared you’re going to leave them. They’re insecure that you’re going to leave them because you’re going to be too hot. That is such a red flag — if a guy says, no, you’re beautiful the way you are.

ALEX COOPER: I get that.

NIKKI GLASER: And I do believe that some guys are like, don’t change your face, I love the way your face is. But there’s a secret part of me that thinks when guys say, don’t get anything done — it’s like, don’t upgrade, because I can only have you if you look this way, and you would leave me if you could upgrade because I’m not good enough.

ALEX COOPER: It’s so f*ing true.

Relationships, Insecurities, and the Power of Comedy

NIKKI GLASER: And that’s what’s going on most of the time. I always just see— this is a separate issue, but I’ve been in relationships like this before where you get really dressed up and the guy won’t say anything, and you know he notices. Like, you look stunning and you’ve just worked on it.

I know so many girls listening right now have been through this, where you put in so much effort and they— you see them see it and they don’t say anything. They are not saying anything because they’re insecure that if they build you up too much, you’ll leave them and you’ll have too much self-esteem and you’ll do better than them. It is always that. It’s not that they don’t think you look hot at all, or they might be like, “What’s that red lip?” It’s because they’re literally threatened.

ALEX COOPER: I promise you, the red lip is never they think something on you is— “What’s such a good spray tan?”

NIKKI GLASER: Orange? No. And this goes for girls too. If anyone is ever insulting any beauty thing you get, they are threatened by it. And you have to remember, they’re jealous, otherwise they wouldn’t say anything. If they really didn’t like it, what do you do when you don’t like something that some of your friend is wearing? You don’t call it out. No, you don’t say anything. You talk about it maybe to your friend behind her back, but you don’t say it to her face. The only reason anyone ever insults you is because they like what you did and they’re threatened.

It’s such a good f*ing point, and you need to remember it because girls are always like, “She said the meanest thing to me,” and I’m like, it’s not because your hair’s busted, it’s not because you look bad, it’s because she’s jealous.

A boyfriend like that can take you down, down, because you’re looking to him for all your confidence because he has created a world in which no other men can compliment you, so he’s your only source of getting any kind of positivity about your sexuality. Because if you posted a bikini pic on Instagram and guys commented, he would call you a whore or be jealous of that. So you can’t search for it anywhere else.

ALEX COOPER: No, you’re completely right.

NIKKI GLASER: Your only person that’s giving it to you isn’t, and you feel like, “I must be disgusting.” And so then you’re trapped in that.

Chris: The On-Again, Off-Again Relationship

ALEX COOPER: Let’s talk about your boyfriend. Yeah, Chris. You guys have been together for over a decade, on and off though, right?

NIKKI GLASER: On and off. Yeah.

ALEX COOPER: Why have you guys been so on and off?

NIKKI GLASER: Because I think if any couple’s being really honest, they would be on and off too. If you could really take a break from your husband — not you, but like in a general you — you maybe would. And we just do. Or at least I will call for one when I see it’s necessary.

ALEX COOPER: How do you call for one?

NIKKI GLASER: I just say like, “I don’t want to do this right now anymore. I’m not having fun in our relationship.” Like when you’re going through a phase of, “I don’t really want to be around this person.” And he will feel that way too.

Also, he’s been my first boyfriend ever. I had some stuff before we met when I was 29, and I’m 41 now, so he’s been the only consistent thing. I had some flings when we would be in our off years, but he’s my only real boyfriend. So there’s sometimes that urge of like, “What if I haven’t experienced the best that I could have?” And like, this is hard right now, so I just don’t want to do it. Can we just put this on hold? And if we’re meant to be, we’ll come back together, because we always do when we haven’t found anyone else or there isn’t something better.

I just feel like I would like to be in a relationship that I could call off whenever I want and take a break and not have to keep in touch all the time and talk.

ALEX COOPER: But when you take a break and you’re like, “Okay, let me go see if I like anyone else,” have you ever then gone on dates and been like, it makes me miss him more because this person is such a f*ing loser in front of me?

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah, well, I used to have a joke that was like, we break up and then I date other guys and then I look back at him and I’m like, “Oh my God, he’s the best I can do.” And that’s kind of what you realize sometimes — I thought I could do better in whatever way, not looks-wise or whatever, but just like, “He’s not doing this for me, so I’m going to find a guy that does this.” And then you realize, oh no, he’s lacking all these things that the other guy had bad.

So yeah, that has happened. We’ve been broken up before, not just like a break, and I’ve had other things. But yeah, we got back together after being broken up for like 4 years because I moved back to St. Louis during COVID. He’s also from St. Louis, and we were both back there and we were like, “Let’s just hang out.” And then that just turned into—

ALEX COOPER: It worked out.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah.

Comedy, Honesty, and the Tom Brady Joke

ALEX COOPER: How does he deal with— because even though he’s a producer, you make some crazy jokes that are great jokes. Has there ever been one that pushed him over the edge where afterwards you guys get home and you’re like, “Okay, this is—”

NIKKI GLASER: For sure. I think there’s been times for everyone in my life that’s been close to me where they’ve gotten stung a little bit by something I’ve said that just was a little too honest. I was watching Hacks last night and Jean Smart’s character just said something that hurt her daughter’s feelings. She was like, “I don’t know why it’s so much easier for me to say this stuff to strangers than to the person that it’s for.”

But sometimes I would air out an anger thing that I was resenting and I put it in a joke, not even thinking, “I hope he hears this and he gets it.” But I would realize after the fact, he would be like, “That one joke kind of seemed unnecessary.” And I’d be like, “Oh yeah, I think subconsciously I was trying to hurt your feelings.” I would never do it consciously.

ALEX COOPER: Yeah.

NIKKI GLASER: But there’s been stuff like that. He actually has always said, which is something I really admire about him, that if it’s funny, you can do it. As long as it gets a laugh. If it doesn’t, you’re just being a dick.

ALEX COOPER: How did he feel when you said that you would shoot him in the face for a chance to blow Tom Brady?

NIKKI GLASER: He was there when that joke was written, and I turned to him and I was like, “Is that okay?” And he’s like, “Yeah, it’s great.” And I was like, “Are you sure?” And I was like, “But I’m going to reference you and look at you and do like a thing like, ‘You’re my boyfriend, I love you,’ and then I’m going to shoot you in the face.” And he was like, “Let’s try it out tonight.” He was like, if it works, of course. He didn’t care at all because he knows.

ALEX COOPER: He’s like, “It’s genius.”

NIKKI GLASER: And it’s a clear joke too. I think that’s the other thing. That’s the good thing about comedy — even stuff that’s real that might be insulting to him, as long as it’s getting a laugh, it’s okay by his definition. But even if it’s like his parents see it or his friends see it, there’s always the guise of like, “She’s just joking.”

ALEX COOPER: Yeah.

NIKKI GLASER: Like that thing that might be real, what I’m talking about — that’s just a joke.

ALEX COOPER: It’s a joke.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah.

ALEX COOPER: Oh, that’s a nice cover.

NIKKI GLASER: It’s always a cover. And that is nice. Because sometimes it is a joke, sometimes it’s an exaggeration, a hyperbole. I’m exaggerating. But a lot of times I will say things people think are jokes and I’m like, that’s absolutely true.

ALEX COOPER: You’re like, “That was 100% true.”

NIKKI GLASER: Or someone thinks it’s real and I’m like, “That was so made up. Like, obviously.”

ALEX COOPER: Oh, you’ve got it made.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah. But that protects me for sure.

Hall Passes and Open Relationships

ALEX COOPER: Do you have a celebrity hall pass?

NIKKI GLASER: I think, yeah — I’m not going to say who it is because it would just like— I think that would actually mean that it was eliminated because he would be like, “Well, that’s you trying to make it happen.” It has to happen naturally or something.

ALEX COOPER: Do you think you could hook up with this person?

NIKKI GLASER: I think he’s a really good guy and he has always said, especially after the Tom Brady roast and after my star kind of rose to these new levels of being around A-listers, he’s like, “If there is someone that you your whole life have longed for and they want to f* you, you should. That’s too good.” Not that he wants that and he would get turned on by it at all — there’s none of this cuckold stuff. He just wants me to have the experiences. And that is like asking someone to not collect their lottery winnings. It’s so rare to get to where I am in life where that would ever happen.

And it hasn’t happened. And I wouldn’t even want it to because the circumstances in which it would have to happen — I’m like, “Well, could I DM them?” He’s like, “No, you can’t pursue it. It has to be natural.”

ALEX COOPER: I’m like, well, that’s never going to happen for me. So have you ever met your hall pass?

NIKKI GLASER: I’m trying to think of the one. Yes, I have, and he is married with kids, but he’s my hall pass from my crush in like high school.

ALEX COOPER: Okay, okay.

NIKKI GLASER: So there’s one on my mind, but there’s probably another one that I would be like, “Oh yeah,” but he would never be into me because of age stuff.

ALEX COOPER: Younger or older?

NIKKI GLASER: I don’t know. But in a relationship, I don’t really care if my boyfriend were to hook up.

ALEX COOPER: Okay, I read about that. Yeah, we need to talk about that.

NIKKI GLASER: But that is not a two-way street. I’m not someone who likes to hook up when I’m in a relationship. I don’t really care about that. But I don’t care if someone else were to.

ALEX COOPER: Hold on.

Commitment, Soulmates, and the Hot Husband Fetish

NIKKI GLASER: In fact, I kind of like it. It’s kind of— it’s a problem, I think.

ALEX COOPER: Yeah, no, we need to talk about this. You told Howard Stern that commitment felt like admitting defeat or settling. Do you still feel that way?

NIKKI GLASER: No, I don’t feel that way anymore. I mean, there innately it is settling. You do not know that the person you are with is the best person for you. There’s too many people on this planet. You haven’t met any of them. You never will. So you have to settle.

There could be someone better for you. And statistically there probably is. The odds that you met the person out of 8 billion people on the planet that’s best for you are kind of low. But I do think that whoever you end up with, luckily people end up with like the top 10% of people who are most compatible for them on the planet. And that’s like a win. But there’s other people that would be good for you. And I don’t believe in soulmates. I do believe you have to go, “You know what? This is the best I can do right now. And I’m going to just cash in my chips because I probably could do better. But who knows?”

ALEX COOPER: How does Chris feel about that?

NIKKI GLASER: He totally understands it. There’s someone better for him too.

ALEX COOPER: Do you think you’re the love of his life?

NIKKI GLASER: No. I mean, I’m a love of his life, but I would not even— I just think that he has many loves of his life probably, and that there’s probably a woman that is so much more compatible for him than me. Like, would be so much better. Truly.

ALEX COOPER: And that doesn’t hurt your feelings?

NIKKI GLASER: No, I don’t care at all because he’s not going to meet her. What are the odds? And if he does, I would be like, “Be with her, go to her,” because I want you to have the best life ever and I don’t want to stop you from finding— and then I’ll probably just have to go find someone that’s better for me.

It would suck for me to see him have a connection with someone that I’m like, “God, she would go hiking with him and she would go to Machu Picchu and all this shit I don’t want to do. And she’s so funny and cool and they’re the same height.” Like, that would be good. And if I saw things that were a better compatibility, I wouldn’t have a problem letting that— I mean, it would hurt, but it wouldn’t be the end of my life.

ALEX COOPER: Do you think though that this is you being a very, very evolved, mature human being, or does this fall in the category of like dark comedian shit? And I want to be clear, it is not pick me, because this comes off pick me — like, “I don’t care if my boyfriend f*s another girl, I’m cool with it, cheat on me.”

NIKKI GLASER: I know how lame it comes across. I sometimes don’t like to tell guys about this thing that I have. This is separate from the soulmate thing. Like, I don’t care if a guy has a sexual connection with a girl — if he were to use protection and just have sex with her for a night. I literally wouldn’t care if my husband did that. I don’t know why.

If he were to watch The Wire with her, or do crossword puzzles, or text and send memes and stuff, I would be like, “What the f* are you doing? That’s our thing.” Emotional cheating would hurt me, but physical — I just feel like I understand how sex is for men most of the time outside of a relationship. It’s just kind of transactional. They just want to nut, and it’s not about, “I want to spend my life with this woman.” So it just wouldn’t feel— I just wouldn’t care as much.

ALEX COOPER: So our barometer is: no emotional cheating, but physical cheating is understandable?

NIKKI GLASER: If something were to happen where I would want them to tell me about it — I would be obviously hurt, but I would understand being drawn to someone else that you have a good connection with. Because when you find someone and it’s monogamy, your brain doesn’t turn off. He’s still going to be attracted to other women. He’s still going to be interested in other girls and have good conversations. So I could see something developing, and I would be heartbroken that it happened, especially if it went on without me knowing about it.

But I would always ask anyone I was with to be like, “If you develop feelings for someone else, tell me and we’ll deal with it. I just don’t want to be blindsided. But if you want to have sex with someone else, also tell me about it — because I want to see what she looks like and ask you about it.”

The Hot Husband Fetish

ALEX COOPER: Okay, wait, hold on. Do you identify as poly or like open relationship girl?

NIKKI GLASER: I want like another girlfriend. I don’t want to be in bed with you guys together.

ALEX COOPER: Okay, not even in the same—

NIKKI GLASER: And I don’t want to be in the chair in the corner like cuckolded, watching my boyfriend. I just want to hear about it later.

ALEX COOPER: Okay, you call this the “hot husband fetish?” Which is essentially when you want your partner to have sexual experiences with other people outside of the relationship. So when did this start for you, Nikki?

NIKKI GLASER: Let’s go back. It started with my boyfriend when I was 29, because I really hadn’t had a boyfriend before then. He would tell me about — I would always ask him about past hookups and girlfriends and how they got together. Like, “How did you guys first know you liked each other?” I love that stuff, like, “Our legs were touching under a table and neither of us moved our leg.” Stuff like that. I don’t know, it would make me horny to think about him doing that with other girls.

So I’d ask about all of his girlfriends or anyone he had hooked up with — all the details about it. And it would really be like foreplay for me. I would get revved up talking about it. And then it reached a point where he was out of stories. He had gone through all of them. And he was almost telling the same ones. And I was like, “I know this one.” So it wasn’t as exciting anymore. I was like — I had never heard of anything like this. I felt so weird, but I was like, “I think I need you to get some more stories.”

ALEX COOPER: You need new material, Chris.

NIKKI GLASER: I was like, “I need you to go out there and just have a flirty moment with someone, like anything.” Maybe it’s my competitive nature. I want a guy who other girls want. You want a handbag that other girls are like, “Oh my God, I’m dying to get that.”

ALEX COOPER: That’s relatable. I have experienced that masochism to a certain degree where I’d be like, “Tell me about every ex, tell me about all the things.” Like, that part of the beginning of the relationship—

NIKKI GLASER: Or were you like, “I want to know because—”

ALEX COOPER: It definitely made me be like, “Okay, now I’m going to f* you 10 times better tonight.”

NIKKI GLASER: Yes. Okay, yes, but then it’s like showing their value — that they are valued by other women. Because I respect women and women’s opinions. I do.

ALEX COOPER: This all comes back to hating men. This whole thing is like, “Men are disgusting and they need to get their boners fixed immediately. And I don’t really want to fix your boner, but I love women.”

NIKKI GLASER: I want my boyfriend to f* other women because I just love women so much.

ALEX COOPER: I’m such a feminist. Hold on — this is not pick me. This is pure feminism. Thank you for getting to the root of it. So you then tell this to Chris, and was he like, “This is a trap, you’re out of your mind?”

NIKKI GLASER: They always think it’s a trick. He knew that I was a sincere person and wasn’t the type of girl to— I wasn’t a jealous person up until this point, so I don’t think he was getting any of that vibe of like, “She’s just trying to test me.” So it was like, “Are you serious? You really want that?”

I was like, “How should this happen?” And I was like, “You know what, if you do it and I don’t like it — because I don’t know how I’ll feel, I’ve never done this before — you’re my first boyfriend ever, so how will I feel if you have a flirty moment with another girl? Just try it, and if I don’t like it, we can stop. And just don’t kiss her, but see if you get to a place where you’re like— maybe you even go, ‘I can’t, I have a girlfriend,’ something like that. But don’t make her feel bad about it.”

And don’t make her feel like she’s being— I was very careful to always let the girl know you have a girlfriend, so she’s choosing to do this. Just let her know that I’m okay with it.

ALEX COOPER: The way I’m picturing you having this conversation with Chris — I remember— oh, and another thing, and he’s leaving. “Wait, and one more thing, what if you also wear those jeans that I like? And what if you tell her?” And he’s like, “Oh, anything else?”

NIKKI GLASER: I remember it so vividly. It literally was like that. And I remember the first time anything happened. I did feel a thing of jealousy come up where I was like— I think it was because I hadn’t communicated that I need her to know that I exist. I think I felt a little bit sad that maybe she thought there was something with this guy that wasn’t going to happen.

And I’ve been that girl so many times — whether the guy’s lying about having a girlfriend, or he’s just casually dating someone and making it seem like it’s not serious, but he’s leading me on and I don’t have a chance. Devastating. So I think that tripped me up a little bit, but I was kind of into it. I really was.

ALEX COOPER: Did he hook up with a girl?

NIKKI GLASER: He’s done some stuff. Yeah, he probably wouldn’t appreciate me elaborating on that, but there have been interesting things that have been really fun for me to hear about and experience. And fun for him too, because you get older — he’s 45 — and I’m like, “Get out there, get some— know that you’re a sexual being again.” Like, sometimes I’m too busy to be really sexy, so I’m like, “Get out and get some attention.”

ALEX COOPER: Does it freak you out to be open about this? Do you think people judge you guys?

The Group Chat & Relationship Dynamics

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah, every time I bring it up, I’m like, God, here she goes again. Because women— I think women— I have not yet— I maybe met one woman that felt this way, like exactly how I feel, in my whole life. And I’ve talked about this extensively, so it’s very rare for women to feel this way.

I feel like I want to be very clear that I know that this is not how many women feel, and I’m not encouraging any other woman to do this, or I think this is like the right way to run your relationship. I think honestly it probably is detrimental. I remember Dr. Drew telling me, after he heard me say that I don’t mind, he was like, “I need you to look me in the eyes and repeat, I am enough. I am enough.” And I’m like, no, it’s not about that. I’m like, maybe it is. Maybe I’m not enough and I feel like he has to have more, but there’s probably a sadness to it, but I just— it’s just what I’m into and I can’t help it.

And I’m not trying to be cool. Believe me, when I’ve been single, guys are not into this. It sounds like a dream, like “I could date a woman and f* other girls.” That sounds like a dream. Guys really like girls to be jealous and to kind of boss them around. They’re kind of like, “What?” They don’t like— they think they like it, but I assure you, this isn’t getting me guys. It’s never been a pitch for me to be like, “Look how cool I am, why don’t you date me because you can do whatever you want.” They don’t like it.

ALEX COOPER: Wait, what do your friends think about this?

NIKKI GLASER: They’re used to it at this point. They just marvel at it because I have one friend who has been cheated on before, so she experiences a lot of jealousy in her life. And she has this amazing husband who would f*ing never cheat on her. We just know that about him. He’s like the most decent guy. But she still gets jealous about him hanging out with past girlfriends or like a therapist who’s a little too touchy or stuff like that.

ALEX COOPER: Wait, hold on, a therapist that’s being too touchy?

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah, like just a creepy— definitely a therapist that I’m just like, “Get her out of his life immediately.”

ALEX COOPER: But so casually, it happens all the time? Like a masseuse or like a literal thing?

NIKKI GLASER: No, like a literal therapist.

ALEX COOPER: Wait, what?

NIKKI GLASER: This one friend— she also went to a couples therapist one time. I wanted to put this in a script once because it was so funny, but she was going to a couples therapist to save her marriage, and they divorced eventually. But this therapist was so into her husband. At one point, the therapist asked her something, and my friend answered like, “I don’t know.” And the therapist just put her hand on his leg and goes, “We just can’t get through to her, can we?” And they both had like a moment.

So anyway, this friend has had jealousy before. And I said to her, “If you could make it so that no women were attracted to your husband— you snap your fingers and no woman on Earth will ever be sexually attracted to your husband— would you do it?” And she was like, “In a heartbeat, I would love that.” And I was like, that would be my nightmare.

ALEX COOPER: You know, I would hate that.

NIKKI GLASER: I would hate that. She would love it because it would give her freedom to not have to worry about him being taken from her.

ALEX COOPER: And see, that worries me because then that also plays into insecurity of like, why are you so worried that your husband’s going to get taken from you? I know that people think my husband is attractive, and that I like.

NIKKI GLASER: And you know that he’s not—

ALEX COOPER: He’s not running away.

NIKKI GLASER: You’re not worried about it. He’s an off-leash dog. You don’t need to be like, “No, stay with me.” You’re just like, “Hey, come over here, let’s go.” He can go smell a bush, and he’ll come right to you. There’s nothing cooler than an off-leash dog. And that’s what I want in a boyfriend— I know I’m the master. If my boyfriend were to fool around with someone else, I would need that girl to know, “Do you know who’s in charge though? Do you know who he’s coming back to?” And I would love to see you try to get him. I’ve been that girl before— thinking, “I’m going to win this guy over who’s dating someone,” and you don’t win.

ALEX COOPER: You’re so competitive.

NIKKI GLASER: I think that’s it. I love it. And I really wish I wasn’t so much because I always feel like that’s a negative trait in a woman, but I realize I am.

ALEX COOPER: It’s okay.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah.

Angel’s Angels: The Ultimate Friend Group

ALEX COOPER: I actually really respect it. Speaking of your friends, you have a group chat with your 9 best friends. All of them. These girls though you brought together, right? They came from like different eras of your life. How did you merge them all?

NIKKI GLASER: It’s like my best friend since 4th grade, my sister, my old podcast producer, a comedian that I know, and my boyfriend’s friend’s ex-wife. I just collected all these girls that I knew were cool as hell and funny. I would do girls trips with certain groups of them, and then I would just be like, “I think I want to add a girl to the girls trip because she’s down.” And my friends just trust me. I’ve known them for my whole life, and they are all best friends now, all through me. I’ve been the nucleus of this group, and we are constantly chatting 24/7. It’s my most proud creation.

ALEX COOPER: As you get older, it’s so hard to have adult girlfriends in a large group capacity. Because sometimes you met someone in college, or someone’s from childhood, and to merge them together— because they should be able to merge.

NIKKI GLASER: You should be consistent with your friendships. They should all fit a criteria. Sometimes we have friends that are good for just one-on-one, and we have friends for different things. But girls are so desperate for girlfriends. It’s really hard, especially in the Midwest if you’re working a desk job, to meet people. I feel like I meet a lot of people, so I’m happy to give my friends who might not meet these other interesting girls new friends. It’s the most fun. I met a girl yesterday who I had lunch with and I was on the girl chat like, “I think I have a new girl for our girls trips.”

ALEX COOPER: What is the group chat’s name?

NIKKI GLASER: It’s called Angel’s Angels because we went on a yacht one time that my friend got us and the captain’s name was Angel. Angels’ Angels for the day.

What Happens in the Group Chat

ALEX COOPER: Okay, I’m going to ask you a couple questions about the group chat. What is the text that if it got leaked you would get canceled? What’s the content that you’re speaking of?

NIKKI GLASER: I would say just making fun of people that have wronged us, going really hard and saying some really mean stuff. We have to sometimes start doing a code name because of that. And it only would get canceled because people would be so shocked at how— they wouldn’t be shocked at me because I roast, but I roast pretty hard in there, like stuff that I would never say at an actual roast, but it saves space.

ALEX COOPER: What is the most insane relationship advice that’s ever been given in that group chat?

NIKKI GLASER: My friend thought she broke her husband’s dick the other day. She said it was like a train car pileup. She sent a picture of like when a train derails— and that was really funny. And we were all giving her advice about what to do because he was like, “I don’t want to get it checked out.” He was so embarrassed. And she was like, “I heard it snap. I think I broke his dick.”

ALEX COOPER: How the f* do you break a man’s dick?

NIKKI GLASER: It like slipped out and she went in and it went against her stomach. But you can do it. She Googled it. So we gave her advice about telling him to go get it looked at, but he never did. I guess it’s fine.

ALEX COOPER: It’s going to repair itself.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah. So there was a lot of chatter.

ALEX COOPER: That’s amazing. Have you ever sent nudes for preapproval in there?

NIKKI GLASER: No, not even preapproval. That’s where they go.

ALEX COOPER: Okay.

Being a Woman in a Male-Dominated Field

NIKKI GLASER: You know, like that’s where they’re ending up. Like, do you know the other day, my friend was talking about, my friends who have had babies and their stomachs are just like not going back to the way they were because the muscles get pulled out. And my friend is like, “I need to get a tummy tuck, but they can’t even fix this.” And she was showing her belly and it just looked like she ate a skinny girl who ate a sandwich.

So there was a day on chat where we were all just taking the gnarliest, pushing our stomachs out, distended as much as possible. And that was one where I did crop off my head just in case something leaked that I could deny that it was me. But you could probably tell by my faded spray tan that it was.

ALEX COOPER: You know what’s good though, is when you are getting older, I do the same thing where you’re like, I’m not sending nudes to my husband. I’m doing it with my friends being like, “What does this look like?” My friends have literally sent me pictures of their vagina being like, “Is this normal?” Like, is that the nudes these days?

NIKKI GLASER: “Is this herpes or an ingrown hair?” I’ve had many of those. Yeah, that is— it’s like medical diagnoses are the new nudes.

ALEX COOPER: Do your friends think you’re fun?

NIKKI GLASER: Oh yeah, yeah. But they’re funnier than I am, like truly the funniest people ever. I’m obviously trained at being funny. It’s something I’ve worked at and it is my career. But they are so, so, so funny.

ALEX COOPER: No, I love how much you talk about other comedians, you’ve referenced your friends, like women, and also you’re just a huge feminist because you let your man f* other women. But it’s really about other women. Like, this is about feminism here.

NIKKI GLASER: Anthony over here.

Feeling the Weight of Being a Woman in Comedy

ALEX COOPER: You are in a pretty male-dominated field. Obviously. What is a time in your career— because obviously you’re thriving right now— but like, what’s a time in your career where you really felt the weight of being a woman in comedy?

NIKKI GLASER: Alex, it’s so weird, and I hate saying this because this is so unfeminist of me. I like never really noticed that I was different, if that makes any sense. Like, I never was like, “I’m a female comic and this sucks and I’m not being taken seriously.”

I look back and there’s so many instances where that was taking place, but I really didn’t notice it. I was just like— because to me, my favorite comedians were female comics, so I thought it was always like a cooler thing to be. And I never felt— it was almost safer because maybe I noticed that men were always getting things, so when I didn’t get things, I wouldn’t take it personally. I was like, “It’s just this thing beyond my control because only one woman can get this roast.”

And so if I’m not getting a roast, there’s only one woman per roast. There’s maybe, you know, they’re giving out stand-up specials, it would be like 2 women get them. And I know which 2— those girls are in the class above me, they deserve it more than me. So it was always kind of like an—

ALEX COOPER: Like it’s an unsaid thing that’s like, it shouldn’t be that only one woman’s getting it, but it’s like, that’s just the way it was.

NIKKI GLASER: And so it was easier for me to be like, “That’s why I didn’t get it, because there’s not enough spots, not because I’m not good enough.”

And then I look back on— and now I think I notice it more where, you know, a comedian will come into a show that has like 7 comics on the lineup and there’s some famous guy dropping in. It’s called dropping in. He just drops in wherever he wants because he’s famous enough that he bumps anyone. And he’ll go up before me as opposed to anyone else on the set. And I’m like, “Is it because I’m a woman or is it because I’m nice and he knows that I don’t care?” And I’m like, whatever. But it always happens to be me. And I’m like, I think it’s because they don’t respect us as much.

And now I’m noticing it. It’s just easier, when you get bigger, for them to just dismiss what you do and say like, “Oh, she only killed the Golden Globes because she had writers.” And I’m like, “What award show doesn’t have writers, motherfer?” Like, why is it suddenly pointed out that I get writers? Every award show in history has had a writers’ room. But now it’s like, “That’s why she’s funny, because she had such killer writers.” But they’ll never say that directly. They’ll just say things like, “Oh, Nikki Glaser has the best writers.” And I go, “Okay, I know exactly what you’re doing. You’re dog whistling to your fing fans that I don’t write my own stuff,” which is so untrue.

Or they’ll say, “All she does is talk about sex and that’s all she does and that’s easy for her.” And I’m like, “Yeah, but is it?” It’s not easy for you because you’re disgusting and no one wants to hear about it and you are ashamed of your sexuality. So yeah, it is easy for me. You talk about what’s easy for you and I’ll talk about what’s easy for me. It is easy for me, but not everyone— who else is talking about this?

The Writers Room Double Standard

ALEX COOPER: It’s not easy to talk about sex. That is so fascinating hearing you talk about the writer thing, because it’s like they’re trying to discredit you.

NIKKI GLASER: And they always say it like they’re praising me, like, “You hire the best writers.” Like I’m supposed to take that as a compliment. And I go, “Yeah, I do, because I have great taste.” And I also write a ton of the jokes myself. But it’s like, it’s the quickest thing— they always do it.

ALEX COOPER: And as if every— like you just said, every single live show is—

NIKKI GLASER: Every single—

ALEX COOPER: It is to the second. Yeah. That you have practiced this. They know the exact word that then gets you to the transition to the next thing, because that’s how it has to go. That’s how you run live television.

NIKKI GLASER: Talk about singers. No one is ever like— so many singers don’t write their own music and they never get discredited for that. Or they have male producers in the room producing a song and no one takes away credit for their song. I mean, it’s just very interesting to me that for some reason stand-up comics call each other out for that stuff. They don’t call men out. It’s like every late night show, they all have writers, but we say Conan’s the funniest, Colbert’s the funniest, Fallon’s the funniest, but we don’t talk about the writers. But when a woman does it, I swear to God, it happens every time.

And it’s given me a complex where I’m like, I can’t ask for help. I don’t want to. I need to write a better joke than that one because if I use that one, I can’t really claim that it was me that did that. And it’s made me kind of insecure, like, “Well, I only got far because the Golden Globes is only good because of the writers’ room.” It’s made me feel that way.

But I’m like, wait a second, when there’s a home decorator that puts together a beautiful room, people don’t go, “Well, she didn’t make that couch, she didn’t make that book,” but she put it all together. What about that? We give credit for that. And I’m actually making the chairs. I am writing the jokes. But it’s like, if you don’t do it all, you’re not allowed to claim credit.

ALEX COOPER: And it also is, aside from even just that— it’s like the amount that you have to pour into it to think about, but because I am a woman, inevitably I’m going to get this backlash. So how can I think about this in a way that will also mitigate the damage of people saying this because I’m a woman?

NIKKI GLASER: And it’s like, as soon as you ask me about this and I start talking about writers, I’m like, “Oh my God, now this is going to be out there.” And then that’s going to be something that I’m giving them to now say.

ALEX COOPER: And every man that you have seen on those stages has a f*ing writer.

NIKKI GLASER: Every single one. Any—

ALEX COOPER: A lot of them are women.

NIKKI GLASER: And guess what? Yes, a lot of them are.

ALEX COOPER: It’s—

NIKKI GLASER: It really, really irritates me, and it’s something that I wish didn’t get to me as much. But there were just a couple f*ing clips from friends of mine that went out right after something I did that were like, “She’s got a murderer’s row of writers.” And they were talking about my writers, and I’m like, “First of all, I know you don’t know any of my writers, so you’re just saying that to let people know how your male fan base can take me down as a female comic who they’re mad at because I talk about my vagina or whatever.”

ALEX COOPER: I just think also that the more we do talk about it— and I get it, I get you’re going to sit here and you’re like, “Oh my God, did I just start this whole thing up again?” I’ve been there. But I also think it’s important to talk about because, again, we’re putting them right next to each other. The same amount of writers, the same amount of people that do it for the men. So why is it even a conversation for you?

And I bet most people genuinely didn’t know that men had writers, and they think that they’re these genius people. And then because you’re a woman, they’re trying to nitpick, like there has to be something behind it. Yet for all of them, whether you have a dick or a f*ing vagina, there’s writers behind all these people.

NIKKI GLASER: There was a joke about me having writers done at the roast of Tom Brady that really irritated me, because it’s like everyone up there has writers, by the way. Every single person that does a roast has— and by the way, they hire a writing staff to work on the roast. So if you don’t hire writers yourself, which everyone does, they give you jokes. You walk in, they give you jokes.

And by the way, I wrote the bulk of my jokes. You have them to help you out and shape it because it’s a lot of work. And there was one joke about me having writers, and the guy that told the joke had that joke written for him. And I was like, “The irony here.” I know the guy who wrote the joke for this guy that was making fun of me for having writers. And I’m like, it was so irritating to me because that’s just not something that I would ever call out another comic for. Especially if I was using writers, I wouldn’t call someone out for something that I was doing. So that’s one that really gets me.

And I like that we’re talking about it because I can say the thing before people say it. But it will be a thing that follows me the rest of my life, probably.

Holding Women to an Impossible Standard

ALEX COOPER: Not only that, I think it’s like we have to be aware of it as women because you read this stuff and we care about our careers. It hurts when people try to put us down for things that are just a prerequisite in the industry. Things that have been happening before us.

NIKKI GLASER: Yes. And by the way, people bomb when they have writers. It doesn’t mean that you’re going to be good. People choose bad jokes.

ALEX COOPER: Also, it is so exhausting, the standard that we are held to as women. And it is true though, a lot of women are holding other women to this insane standard. Because I think it’s like, we want to have this moral high ground where we’re like, “No, you have to do this.”

Like, you watch certain people getting crucified online for certain things, and then you’re like, “Wait, but what about the Epstein Files? Like, what about those guys?” The way that we crucify women for something that is 0.0% compared to the men who are doing what to these children— like, you don’t even get me started. It’s like, guys, put your energy towards that f*ing stuff.

The Epstein Files and Comment Culture

NIKKI GLASER: And I really— I can’t handle it anymore, especially with Epstein Files and with the deep dive that I went on that. I was like, this is more— this is, you know, I’ve always been like, well, politics are more important than celebrity stuff. There’s always been that, like, well, Trump’s doing this. But when the Epstein files came out, that was so insane to me that I was like, anything other than an article about celebrity calling anything else is just shut up.

ALEX COOPER: Like, even the capacity at which I wish people put the amount of energy they put towards being obsessed with Chappell Roan. And it’s like, why don’t we focus on the living, breathing men who, from the Epstein files— and Chappell Roan just did something with not wanting to say hi to her fans.

NIKKI GLASER: Like, let’s focus on trading children in emails. That is like not even in code words.

ALEX COOPER: And that— but that though, I do think what’s so crazy is all women, we get off on—

NIKKI GLASER: Security was mean to the cousin of someone, it’s really important we address it. And then she addressed it, and that she like— yeah. Well, child rape aside, we have to deal with Chappell Roan and this ‘tude that she has ever since she got famous. She thinks she’s better than people to tell them to leave her alone and not take pictures when she doesn’t want it to be taken. That’s what’s important. And I would like a list of that. I want the list to be all the times that she has snapped at paparazzi.

ALEX COOPER: It’s more important.

NIKKI GLASER: It’s so much more important. It’s like, it’s insane that they can even exist. Like, I don’t even understand how we talk about anything else. If you haven’t done an Epstein deep dive, I know, I know it’s a little too late. Oh, I’ve done— No, not you. I know you have, but based on— to you listening at home, guys, guys, I am scared to even say the name because I might get murdered.

ALEX COOPER: We’re dead.

NIKKI GLASER: We’re literally dead.

ALEX COOPER: This is our last episode. Call Her Daddy’s over.

NIKKI GLASER: But it is true. I love that you just said it because I had that— we’re going to disappear. I’ve had that realization the past couple weeks of like, no, why is this a headline? It is.

ALEX COOPER: What’s going on? It is so shocking the way that women are reprimanded in comparison to what is actually fing happening in the world, and you’re like, how? We cannot keep fing doing this. Women, if you look in the comments, it’s just fing women tearing other women down. You can’t— let’s redirect our fing energy.

NIKKI GLASER: Let’s stop.

ALEX COOPER: Men are laughing at us.

NIKKI GLASER: Stop reading comments. I want to stop reading comments. It’s really hard. But comment culture, I talk about this all the time, but I have to say, I’m so sick of it. It is literally destroying art. The fact that people— because even when I’m watching something, I will read the comments before I watch it just to see how I should feel about it. Do you ever do that?

ALEX COOPER: Yes. And it’s—

NIKKI GLASER: How do other— and it colors how you watch it. You’re a savvy consumer, so what are dumb people doing? They’re just going off of what the comment is. It is so f*ing dangerous.

ALEX COOPER: It’s really bad.

NIKKI GLASER: I can’t— I don’t even know the last time I consumed anything without finding some kind of review about it before, like feeling, how should I feel going into this? It’s true. I need to know.

ALEX COOPER: People on TikTok have talked about how there’s people who, the minute you scroll, you just open the comments. So you get like a brief analysis of what’s going on. But all these people are like sick in the f*ing head.

NIKKI GLASER: The sickest people ever. I’ve never commented anything except like fire emojis and like, “Hurt Queen,” or like, “Slay.” Like, “Slay.” Only telling another girl she looks hot is the only thing I would ever comment. And I think— I guess Life of a Showgirl was the last thing I consumed where there was no reviews out yet, and I was just consuming it without comments.

ALEX COOPER: And I’m like, “You don’t know.” And then you open TikTok and you’re like, “Oh, I guess maybe people didn’t like the—”

NIKKI GLASER: Exactly. And then you’re like, am I wrong for— but that—

ALEX COOPER: I think that’s the last pure thing that I just needed to blow up.

NIKKI GLASER: I’m just like, I just don’t want any more comments.

ALEX COOPER: No, I know. Now we just can’t—

NIKKI GLASER: People get so mad if you disable them. They’re so mad.

Nikki’s Special: Good Girl

ALEX COOPER: Let’s talk about your f*ing special.

NIKKI GLASER: Yes, please.

ALEX COOPER: We’re like, wait, but one more thing on Epstein. So I mean, you bring out a full f*ing pizza.

NIKKI GLASER: Why are they always talking about pizza and like cream cheese?

ALEX COOPER: No, no, the f*ing—

NIKKI GLASER: No, the fing codes, the fing blurs. Like, every— why are we blu— what’s going on?

ALEX COOPER: We need some—

NIKKI GLASER: But it’s over. Like, we’ve all—

ALEX COOPER: It’s over.

NIKKI GLASER: Like, people don’t talk about it anymore.

ALEX COOPER: It’s over.

NIKKI GLASER: It’s so true. They did it. They checked off that list. They checked it twice. They’re like, going to find out who’s naughty or a psychopath, and we’re moving on.

ALEX COOPER: And they’re like, “Got it, okay, him.” Anyways, good girl. Let’s bring some positivity.

NIKKI GLASER: Okay. Yes, my special Good Girl. If we are alive by the time this is released, I want to make it clear, I have— I do not want to self-harm. I have no suicidal thoughts. If anything happens to me, I was murdered.

ALEX COOPER: Someone is gunning for us. Yes. But I’m not cutting this out. We’re saying we are— we are an example, Nikki, today.

NIKKI GLASER: But Google the stuff we said.

ALEX COOPER: Yeah, yeah.

NIKKI GLASER: Go like those keywords.

ALEX COOPER: Get that on your algo.

NIKKI GLASER: You’re not getting it in like MSNBC or whatever.

ALEX COOPER: Like pizza, cream cheese.

NIKKI GLASER: The people— the Reddit, go to Epstein Reddit.

ALEX COOPER: Just Google cream cheese.

NIKKI GLASER: Yeah, yeah.

ALEX COOPER: Okay, your new special, Good Girl. How did you decide that name? And what can you tell us about it?

NIKKI GLASER: I decided on the name because it’s a joke I have about the porn I consume. I really like when the guy— there’s like a guy who’s being almost like a coach kind of person that’s like making a girl do something really whorish that she’s kind of like, “I don’t know if I can do this.” And he’s like, “You can do it,” and then she does it and he’s like, “Good girl.” And that’s always when I climax— when the guy is like praising the girl. Oh, what do you search for that? I search, gangbangs.

ALEX COOPER: I know that’s not what you want me to say, but it is true.

NIKKI GLASER: Gangbangs, forced orgasms. Yeah, yeah. Okay, that’s where a girl’s tied up and— and I really like that because I have a hard time orgasming because I feel like it’s just so embarrassing and it’s like a loss of control that I don’t like, because I like to be in control. And so I’ve always felt like orgasms were hard for me because I was like, I just look so stupid. I don’t want to look like— it’s just so embarrassing.

ALEX COOPER: Yeah.

NIKKI GLASER: And I would try to push them down and not have them. And so I discovered this genre of forced orgasm where a girl’s like tied up and like wants it, but the guy’s like making her come and she’s like, “Ah,” it’s like almost too much. And then she comes a bunch and then he says, “Good girl.” And then it’s not her fault that she looks stupid. He did it.

ALEX COOPER: Do you use the same video?

NIKKI GLASER: No, I honestly need—

ALEX COOPER: You need new stuff.

NIKKI GLASER: Sometimes I’ll like repeat after like a year. I’d be like, “Oh, I kind of remember this one, but I don’t know how it ends.” But let me guess, it’s— this was filmed during the last leg of—

ALEX COOPER: You’re like, “What headlines are going to come?” I’m so sorry. It’s like, what did we do today?

NIKKI GLASER: I don’t know why I’m like this.

Filming in Her Hometown

ALEX COOPER: You filmed this during the last leg of your tour, and you did it in your hometown in front of your friends and family. Is that like harder to do? Or are you like, “You bitches will f*ing laugh?”

NIKKI GLASER: No, it’s much harder because, you know, growing up, when I was in high school, I always wanted to be like the popular girl. I felt unseen. I felt quiet. I felt like, “Oh God, these people don’t even know my potential, and they never will know it.” Because I wasn’t like— I would audition for plays, I would never get— like, I would audition for The Diary of Anne Frank, and I would think I was going to get Anne Frank, and I would get like Jewish Townsperson B. I was always way under what I would think. So I was like not being shown any reason why I would ever be successful.

And I had the secret dream of like, I want to be on TV. So there’s a part of me that is like, “Look at what I did.” But like, there’s this other thing of like, I just project them being like, “This isn’t that good.” Like almost like seeing the real me. So there’s this kind of— and also I don’t feel like I’m a star. As much as yes, I know that I’ve earned this status and other people might see me that way, I really don’t think it’s like— I can think of a million reasons, excuses for why it happened. And I feel imposter syndrome.

So there is a part of me that feels stupid, like making all these people come to this big theater and like give a standing ovation, and they’re like, you know, girls I take Pilates classes with, or like my hairdresser, or like girls I went to high school with. It’s kind of embarrassing. But then— but overall, I loved it because they’re just so supportive and they’re so— they are excited that someone made it. And like she’s bringing this home and she lives here. And they can tell that I don’t think I’m better than it. I think they really get that I don’t think I’m hot shit, that I am the girl that they knew. And I get that feedback.

The Golden Globes and Nikki’s Rising Career

ALEX COOPER: I’m so excited to have everyone watch your special because I also think you are right when you were saying you are a conductor of storytelling through the beginning, middle, and end. And we’ve watched you at the Golden Globes, you’ve done such a phenomenal job. When I went this year and I was sitting in this— I knew you were there. First of all, I was like stressed for you because it is like— I think that you make it look easy, but I can only imagine before you get on that fing stage, you have every fing A-lister in that room staring at you, wanting you to like lightly stumble on the joke that’s about them, or like not maybe hit it. Like, they don’t want you to fail, but like people—

NIKKI GLASER: They just don’t want me to make a joke.

ALEX COOPER: Exactly.

NIKKI GLASER: You just want to get through on skates, but you also kind of want to be acknowledged because you’re a celebrity and you are a big deal and you have an ego. So it’s very interesting.

ALEX COOPER: I give you all of the flowers because it’s like the pressure that is put on you, to land the joke, to go out there, execute timing with everything that you do. You’ve done such an incredible job, and it’s really been awesome to watch your career rise.

NIKKI GLASER: I love that my career can have different facets. I can be a freak on the stage at live shows and in my standup, and then I’m like more wholesome on TV. Because I am both. I am a wholesome person.

ALEX COOPER: Okay, you have range.

NIKKI GLASER: I’m a wholesome girl with lots of holes. Isn’t that what wholesome means?

ALEX COOPER: Nikki Glaser, thank you so much for coming on Call Her Daddy.

NIKKI GLASER: Thank you so much for having me. That was fun.
