Conan Thinks Nikki Glaser Did The Greatest Roast Of All Time | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

I have watched that over and over. The funniest ten minutes of comedy EVER. She is now a legend.

[@markgalveston604]

[@h3artands0uLL]

I love how much she admires and loves Conan. Yes he gets uncomfortable with accolades but deep down his inner child who wanted the attention in a big family really appreciates it ❤. He’s such a good guy, we all know that. And he deserves all the flowers all the time, especially while he’s still here. ❤

[@skat1140]

People forget how much planning and trial-and-error goes into this performance of a comedy set. Even though we know its not impromptu, and we know these are pre-written jokes, we dont also appreciate that there are pre-written asides, pre-written callbacks. The _pauses_ between jokes are planned. The entire performance is under her control, not just "the jokes."

[@willvr4]

@@skat1140 Yeah, the ratio of work that gets done behind the scenes and not on stage compared to the actual performance is probably like 6:1.

[@lc3225]

Sona and Matt look enthralled by the conversation and tbh it's nice to have a comedian come out and say that it just looks easy, and that she worked her ass off to get there

[@peterl.1873]

​@@willvr4even a very good joke can ruin the rest of the set if it takes away the attention/focus from the crowd and they won't be able to catch the beginning of your next arc.

She's always been brilliant, and Conan has always called it.

She's on the Lisa Lampanelli level, the female Greg Giraldo.

[@jeffbrown8117]

⁠@@jonathanvilla7280Lisa is funny, but it’s not the same level. It’s more cheap and shocking. Nikki is more clever and a better writer.

[@dcool2u2]

I love hearing them both give it up to the people that help them with these big events or appearances. I watch Conan's commencement speech at Dartmouth from 2011 at least once a year. It's hilarious and he delivers it so perfectly. It's probably a prime example of a finished product of many people working together. Conan and Nikki are both hilarious comedians anyway, and it's cool that they shout out to the writers that they work with.

[@mfulkers1]

You could tell the level of effort that she put in vs what Bert and Tom did!

Nikki and Tony killed it at the roast.

[@Synthetic-Rabbit]

I was watching a David Spade interview the other day and he was talking about how he didn't have a lot of his stuff published/ran early on in SNL and he mentioned the competition at the time and the very first person he listed when talking bout how great the writing staff was was "Conan" and his tone was even different than the other people he listed. I thought that was very telling in regards to how a lot of other comedians view Conan. If anyone was interested I "THINK" it was the Rich Eisen interview.

[@kelseyjenna9248]

People really do speak about him with a warmth and respect that tells you Conan is exactly who we hope he is after all these years. I have a personal soft spot for David Spade. Lost his best friend young and has spent his entire life answering strangers' questions about it.

Honestly hearing about how much effort she put in to create such a good roast makes me think even more highly of her. She set a high bar for herself and hired people and tested out everything until she reached it. Getting to that level is definitely not feasible every time, but she 100% proved that she is capable and comfortable achieving it.

@@coopermcdermott Giraldo is the GOAT of roasting. Nikki is amazing no doubt and so is Jeff Ross, but Giraldo was on another level. “You’re such a drunk that alcohol lists you as a dependent” - Giraldo to David Hasselhoff " Lisa has a lot in common with the Octomom, I mean she's never given birth but she has had 80 fingers inside her at the same time." ‘You used to have a car that started when you spoke to it, now you have a car that won’t start when you breathe into it’---Again directed at Hasselhof.
