Comedian, writer, and two-time Golden Globe Awards host Nikki Glaser sits down with renowned journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher for a candid and wide-ranging conversation, now streaming on YouTube.
The interview arrives at a milestone moment in Glaser’s career, as she prepares to host the Golden Globe Awards for a third consecutive year in 2027 and celebrates being named one of Time magazine’s most influential people of the year.
The discussion also coincides with the release of Glaser’s latest hour-long comedy special, “Good Girl,” debuting this Friday on Hulu. In the special, Glaser delivers her signature brand of fearless, self-deprecating humor while diving into themes of aging, fame, and sexuality.
In her conversation with Swisher, Glaser speaks openly about the cultural double standards surrounding women’s appearance, pushing back against the stigma of spending money on beauty and self-care. “If it makes you feel better, why is that something to be ashamed of?” she questions, challenging long-held societal judgments.
The two also explore Glaser’s continued focus on sex in her comedy, with the comedian explaining why the topic remains both relevant and necessary. Despite her willingness to tackle provocative material, Glaser reveals she is currently avoiding political humor, noting the difficulty of cutting through today’s polarized climate in a way that feels authentic and impactful.
Reflecting on her career trajectory, Glaser discusses what it means to experience a major breakthrough in her 40s—an unconventional timeline in an industry often obsessed with youth. Her perspective offers both honesty and inspiration, underscoring the value of persistence and self-belief.
With “Good Girl” poised to further cement her place among comedy’s most compelling voices, and her continued presence on one of entertainment’s biggest stages, Nikki Glaser proves she is not only having a moment—but redefining what that moment can look like.
