Summary
Nikki Glaser reflects on her meteoric rise to fame following the Tom Brady roast and hosting the Golden Globes twice, describing the pressure to say yes to everything while her career is hot. She discusses her roots in St. Louis and how her nice Midwestern personality contrasts with her roasting abilities. The conversation delves into her early career talking about sex in comedy, explaining how she felt compelled to discuss topics that weren't being addressed honestly, especially around female sexuality and the mechanics of intimacy. Glaser opens up about the challenges women face with foreplay, orgasms, and sexual satisfaction, advocating for more honest conversations about these topics. She discusses her relationship with boyfriend Chris, including their on-and-off dynamic over a decade and her controversial 'hot husband fetish' - wanting her partner to have sexual experiences with other women because it turns her on to hear about it later. The interview covers beauty standards in Hollywood, her plans for cosmetic procedures including a potential facelift, and the double standards female comedians face regarding writers and success. She addresses the criticism that female comics can't win - being judged for talking about sex while male comics aren't held to the same standards.
