Nikki Glaser Explains Why She Wanted to Tackle Suicide in Her Emmy-Nominated Comedy Special: ‘Part of the Problem Is We Don’t Talk About It’
Nikki Glaser explains why she wanted to tackle the harder subjects in her Emmy-nomianted comedy special, and on writing her own music fro the credits.
Her jokes about suicide, which are smack-dab in the middle of the hour-long special (“I do have a plan,” she begins, “I always forget that I’m going to kill myself…duh!”) contain the ethos of much of Glaser’s most recent work, which is to talk about the taboo. Thankfully, her digs at motherhood (that new moms are selfish, not selfless; love for a child sounds great, but so does heroin) were already said in the group chat before making their way to the stage. Since achieving mainstream success this past year (boosted by her headline-grabbing Tom Brady roast in May), she doesn’t plan on slowing or settling down.
