Nikki Glaser on Following Taylor Swift Around Europe, People Trolling Her & Becoming a Musician

Nikki talks to Guest Host Kumail Nanjiani about following Taylor Swift around Europe, seeing her 17 times in 15 months, priding herself on never going to the bathroom during Taylor’s shows, her dad crying when he saw Taylor in concert, people trolling her, learning how to play guitar during COVID, recording a song called “Someday You’ll Die” and wanting to be a professional singer/songwriter.

I like this dude, he seems to be a natural at the late show host. He could be a great replacement when Jimmy retires.

[@DevOne420]

The fact that this interview got to a place where Nikki is expressing her desire to share poop cycles with Taylor Swift is just a beautiful thing and needs to be acknowledged. Kumail is a-fricken-mazing at this!!! Please offer this man a night show if the chance ever arises!

[@SweetBUTFiesty23]

“The paycheck is small!!” 😭🤣💜

[@Shally_B]

Can Kumail gets his own show pls!?! I would watch it everyday. He is hilariously funny😂

[@gratefuldude65]

Hey Nikki Your 15 minutes are almost up!

[@tsubadaikhan6332]

Unfortunately his name isn't Jimmy. I believe that's a prerequisite.

[@mendozaartstudiollc1354]

Feeling the friendship between these two.

[@davecheng4201]

I loved Kumail in Silicon Valley - but I would NOT have guessed that he would be the biggest star coming out of that show.

[@hereforthefreewater]

Kumail better get a late night show out of this. Hes good at this

[@joelface]

Agreed. Not just good, he's spectacular at it.

[@terri6854]

Just seems like an ordinary guy off the street.

[@cameronroberts4296]

Way better than Carson Daly and George Lopez. 😊

[@MichelleRLevy]

The philosophy advisor was Johanna Meehan

[@ltaylor2799]

I think he used to host something? I remember when he and Dan Levy were guests on James Corden and took over asking each other questions and it was 100000x better than James

[@karmaoutlaw]

Oh PULEEZE do an entire week, Kumail!!! 🎉

[@user-yn7yo1co3k]

💯‼️

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Nikki is beautiful and funny and Kumail needs to have his own show please!

[@nwobob]

He cuts her up and is humble at the same time, quite a gift.

[@kotkaconforza]

Nikki is great and Kumail is doing a great job.

[@RickLeBeau]

Nikki is great in all the ways a comedian/comedienne should be, and to top it off, she's incredibly hot. She does not miss leg day at the gym, that's for sure!

[@CitizenoftheWorld1]

Kumail's delivery when he says he wants to touch people 🤣🤣🤣

[@MaineSWH]

Absolutely love Nikki’s enthusiasm for Taylor. Seriously. Nikki is awesome. Taylor is obviously awesome. And it’s super awesome to see Nikki fangirl for the right reason!! 🎤 LOVE 💕

[@no.man.is.an.island]

Kumail is the new Conan! Such a similar vibe, not the zaney Conan but his ability to rift and be self deprecating in relaxed way. I'm signing the petition for his show!

[@nwobob]

Nanjiani's humility is more sincere.

[@hectorcanedo5852]

Yass!! ❤

[@101stairborne6]

@@nwobobyou should watch the Conan show where Kumail can’t make it to the show and he’s the ONLY guest scheduled for that show! 😂 Conan is a legend for a reason.

[@grnddesign]

Nikki looks gorgeous and just gets funnier and funnier. I love her humor and honesty!!

[@Sachora]

If Taylor Swift didn't already know who Nikki was, she sure does now

[@IanHillan]

My ideal date: going with Nikki Glazer to see Taylor Swift.

[@Jess-y7c]

Hope you get the chance Taylor is amazing in concert it will change your life

[@postatility9703]

Props to the Kimmel show!! Kumail is great,and I had 14 minutes to enjoy every wonderful part of Nikki Glaser!!

[@8910d]

That was a great interview. Out and back. She's awesome.

[@triciahartley9913]

I think we need to see Nikki on the Eras tour set for a surprise song!

[@hardcoresteff]

Great interview! Fantastic job hosting!

[@gregdahlen4375]

looks like she's having fun at that concert, way to go

[@KingAmroth]

[@dunkingpawn3215]

Nikki is so great and cool. She absolutely was the best on Tom Brady roast . Didn’t know about the extent of her Taylor Swift fandom…sure Taylor will find out soon about it and invite her over.😊

[@evelina733]

Loved Kumail! So charismatic 🤣

[@SimbaRobyn]

Her love for Taylor swift is the cutest! 😊🥰 It’s fun to share our passions with our loved ones. ❤ And her dad 🥹 😍

[@jilliankavanaugh7971]

I love both of these people SO MUCH!

[@rachelb4001]

Seriously excellent interview. Both are full of talent!

[@maryeastham]

I love both of you. Do more guest hosting Kumail, please. I'm cracking up after your opening...

[@sonnyvirgi]

Kumail such a great guy!!!

[@charleslewis6815]

Great job Kumail!

[@SweetBUTFiesty23]

NIKKI, LOVE HER SO MUCH!! She’s absolutely HILARIOUS!! 😭🤣💜

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

It makes me happy to see someone having a great time at a concert, like Nikki ❤

[@rossburg84]

If Kimmel leaves next year, its a crime if Kumail doesnt get this show. It just feels right.

[@Sdority905]

Kimmel / Kumeil, no one will notice the difference!

[@McGrey450]

I miss people having a Convo.....loved this....he didn't shout over her once

[@johnchurchill784]

I saw the Grateful Dead 45 times , my friend saw the GD 425 times

Good for you we don’t care about them though we care about Taylor

[@wickerbathtub3183]

Kumail killed it.

[@tylernoone9752]

Kumail is a natural at this

[@brettwoods8166]

luvs the Nicki!

[@dustcircle]

Amazing eye-contact control, Kumail.

[@MikesOrganicVideos]

Even if I could afford to get tickets to a Taylor Swift concert, and could afford to go to as many concerts as I wanted, I can’t imagine going to more than one of her concerts in a year. Even if we’re talking about Bruce Springsteen, I probably would draw the line at two or three on the same concert tour. But that’s just me. She is certainly not hurting anybody so if that’s what makes her happy…

[@sunshine3914]

My high from my first Springsteen concert lasted 3 years.

[@mikefeuerstein1354]

@@sunshine3914 Mine too. It was the Born in the USA tour.

[@Marshall_Stacks]

I'm sure the shows are all the same. I think Taylor is cool, but I'm not into her music.

[@mikefeuerstein1354]

@@Marshall_Stacks I have never been to her shows, but if she tells any stories, or mixes up the playlist, it still cannot possibly be as varied as a Springsteen tour. But I have enjoyed at least 5 of her songs.

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

She's gorgeous 😍

[@thedollaisle]

I lover her, and Kumail is SO GOOD AT THIS. It seems like his show!

[@DawningWisdom]

i love how she spent more than 8 minutes of her time talking about taylor swift 😂

[@Sdority905]

I know right? It is the one time that a title about Taylor Swift is actually accurate and worth the name drop

[@AlbyMarz]

"I wouldn't be so sure. She's very famous" 😹

[@jonprahst7381]

Kumail is cool and collective. Great personality for late night. When Jimmy retires soon I vote Kumail!

[@beansnrice321]

Nikki Glaser is so awesome! One of the consistently funniest and funnest comedians. =)

[@wesguitarra91]

Nicki is the best. I saw her perform last year in New Orleans and she's a ball of energy. And beautiful as well.

[@CoachingHigher]

3:03 Sounded exactly like Jimmy!

[@CoachingHigher]

Love her! So glad she’s embracing what she likes! And yes it takes one hater to think you don’t have it so let’s not listen to them!

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

"They always say that." Because it's true!

[@deenieh.6897]

Hard to believe this is his 1st time hosting, he's such a natural 😂😂😁

[@nelsonlugo45]

Delightful.

Nikki is so cute and so damn funny. She was miserable for a long time-- I'm so glad she found success and seems to be happy. ✌ ❤

Kumail needs his own show. Forgot how good a standup he was. And on a side note; Nikki is such a beautiful person who uses too much self deprecation. She should act more like a queen. She's awesome too.

[@jackbenimblejack1]

I can't wait for the collab between swift and glazer

[@joelface]

Kumail KILLED as host. He really should have a show of his own! Also I absolutely LOVE Nikki, I think she's probably the funniest comedian out there right now (for my taste) and damn, she is looking smoking hot in that dress too. I haven't seen her in a dress like that before... but it suits her!
