In a recent interview on NBC's Sunday Sitdown, comedian Nikki Glaser sat down with Willie Geist at the Olive Tree Cafe and the legendary Comedy Cellar to discuss her journey in comedy. Glaser shared insights into the long grind that led to her latest Hulu special, "Nikki Glaser: Good Girl," and how her career took off after her celebrated roast of Tom Brady.
She credited her parents for supporting her comedy ambitions from day one. "They never wavered," Glaser said. "Having their belief in me made all the difference." The interview comes on the heels of her hosting the Golden Globe Awards, a milestone she described as both exhilarating and nerve-wracking.
Glaser's path to success wasn't easy; she spoke candidly about the years of open mics, rejections, and perseverance. "It's a marathon, not a sprint," she noted. "But every tough night was worth it."
The conversation also touched on her evolving comedic style and how she balances edgy material with personal growth. Fans can catch the full segment on TODAY's website.
