[@JimNortonsAlcoholism]

Lmao, she's on every show and podcast. Good for her.

[@audreywellham2413]

I’ll have to look for the special! She’s great and enjoying it, she knows it’s fleeting. Enjoy! 🎉

[@TIZNYC]

@@barcelonachair6487Says more about you than her.

[@dkmma3312]

Only funny female on earth

[@FoxHoundMulder]

That’s how a media tour works

[@holmcm751]

​@@dkmma3312that's far from true. Yes, hells yes, she's way funny. But so are many more females in the comedy business.

[@Mom_sBasement]

Her hits on Brady and Gronk “Me know that not real money” belongs in the ROAST Hall of Fame.

[@bananeneiscraeme]

okay i am not from the USA but can you maybe explain the joke..like i understand that brady lost money in crypto..but what does the gronk part mean?

[@JovaniaGeorge]

​@@bananeneiscraeme hes not the brightest bloke and yet even he knew better than to make that investment

[@misswiss278]

ahhhh okay thank you !!! ​@@JovaniaGeorge

[@JovaniaGeorge]

@@misswiss278 no problem

[@writerchick94]

​@bananeneiscraeme just to elaborate on the explanation a bit, not only is gronk famously not very smart but he's got this like caveman persona basically and even his name is gronkowski but everyone calls him gronk. I'm not sure if English is your native language but in English, Gronk sounds like something you'd name a caveman.

[@jayteaman]

She was by far my favorite set of the roast. I've enjoyed her comedy for a while but I'm so glad to see her succeed at such a scale. Congrats, Nikki!

[@petecoogan]

I did not watch the roast and don't plan to, but I'm going to watch her bit

[@J.M.-nb4gw]

How stupid that you would even want to watch that kind of celebritard bullshit 😂 srsly get a life 🤣

[@Blickymouse4]

She had writers

[@jayteaman]

@@Blickymouse4 weird, I only saw one single person behind the microphone when she was telling her jokes. Get your head out of your ass.

[@writerchick94]

​@petecoogan I don't watch roasts ever but I happened upon her compilations and now if I see she's on one I watch it just for her

[@U2B2024]

I loved how Kevin Hart was legitimately blown away by her set.

[@Mateo-et3wl]

Like he was killed? Or like he blew off like a tumbleweed?

[@gingerhitzke9185]

I absolutely LOVE how proud she is of herself ❤

[@TabethaAurochs]

THIS 💜

[@veronicafinocchi9550]

I love Seth being normal. No suit or tie, just talking with the guest. Asking good questions and keeping the conversation going.

[@mhagen]

It is enjoyable to watch Seth Meyers get better and better at his job. He is sharp and funny, but more important, he comes across as truly empathetic to his guests.

[@EdKazO-Vision]

He’s been doing it for like a decade.

[@tenareif1013]

Love Seth. He does just get better & better.

[@jeffbrown8117]

“WoMen ArEnT fUnNy DuRrr”

[@michaelwaller342]

Nikki crushed it. Seths respect for comedians craft is infectious!

[@ChipCain]

Stole the entire show on the roast. Blew everyone away. Good for her. Brilliant.

[@askapk]

Not everyone... but she was the best.

[@joeblack081571]

🤡🤡🤡

[@shawnuel]

@@askapk Right. Men who believe women can't be funny preferred Tony Hinchcliffe.

[@askapk]

@@shawnuel yea... I'm not one of those. Now, I think typically men are generally funnier... but thats probably because the humour is more geared towards other men. But she was the best of the night.

[@shawnuel]

@@askapk I hope you didn’t think I was implying that of you. I was intending it as a conspiratorial comment with someone with whom I agreed!

[@marcibeck331]

Her timing, intonation, pace, everything… flawless. She absolutely crushed it. I think she had the best set for SURE. She’s just so good.

[@MrAndrewBackstrom]

Nikki, you have always done well in with the Roasts. Much deserved praise, you have worked so hard.

[@TheCheat420]

As somebody who's been a fan of Nikki for like a decade now I LOVE seeing her get so much praise for her work on the roast.

[@darryl2542]

She's always been the highlight of the Comedy Central roasts, and this one put her on another level. Well deserved.

[@TXHEN1]

Man ya'll tripping she's ALWAYS this good! That's why this just seemed like yet another great set from her to me. Maybe something about it being live just made her stand out more for the rest.

[@joncumber2020]

Agreed she’s always very good but man, that set will serve as a reference for young comics coming up re: timing, word punching and sharing the humour around:)

[@ConGamePro]

Facts. Always been funny.

[@pauljoseph8338]

There’s Comedy Central NIKKI GLASER roast highlight compilations going back a decade. She’s ALWAYS been the roast MISTRESS!

[@Blickymouse4]

She had writers she’s not funny

[@TheWriterNW]

She is always that good but it's how much better she was than everyone else that made it even bigger!

[@christophercrowder872]

On a night when everyone basically stuck to two subjects when it came to Brady, she killed it *and* still seemed fresh with her material.

[@captainashcam]

She’s always steals those Comedy Central roasts. Brutal and very very funny.

[@TabethaAurochs]

I felt like Kevin Hart going all in praising you in real time at a roast, like he did to Nikki, means you've objectively CRUSHED IT. Love this for her 🩷

[@allisonfink2059]

Kevin Hart praising her was the absolute best! ♥️

[@edenton1974]

He couldn’t stop laughing at her Gronk joke.

[@Sobergamer61]

As Nick Cage would say “That’s high praise” 😂

[@TabethaAurochs]

@@edenton1974 "Gronk, you don't help the joke!" 😂

[@shawnuel]

@@allisonfink2059 From the dais, yes. Getting out of his seat, making exaggerated faces and gesticulating/pointing during her set, not so much. He drew attention away from her onto himself. A ton of people on the dais made their enjoyment of her jokes VERY apparent without pulling focus away from her.

[@TheOriginalDeckBoy]

That was the single most Roasty bit I've ever seen... I've watched all roasts, like every single one and that was top 10 for sure lmao

[@guytillotson825]

Such a real person.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

She’s a smart cookie. Good on her

[@midnightrambler4004]

Gronk saying me know that not real money had me crying laughing for days

[@Samela808]

I rarely straight up “LOL”, but that slayed me! ☠️⚰️☠️⚰️

[@SpaceForceCommander]

I’ve been a big fan of Nikki Glaser ever since she mentioned her hastily packed suitcase to Conan!

[@MsJessfizz]

A line that has stuck with me forever

[@frankm2588]

I remember that also. Her appearances with Conan were great, the look on his face when she would say things. I'm amazed there were so many people who had never heard of her. I hated the Brady roast though, too many reaction shots of the roastees, keep the camera on the comedian for the most part.

[@harpreetjohal1531]

That line cracks me up to this day!! ❤

[@anonemous7881]

She is the best!! So funny and so real and so pretty. Love her

[@mikayocc]

It's about time people are appreciating her! She deserves the flowers - she's been one of the best comedians out there for a long time!

[@NomoOrelSax]

Glad to see her get all this press and success... she's awesome 👏👏👏

[@nevermanishere4555]

She killed at the Tom Brady Roast. "Burt, I love your joke." lol

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

Nikki's special Someday You'll Die is really smart and very, very funny. Love her! ❤

[@CatJabZ]

Great job Nikki! One of the best roast bits and so glad she is getting all the praises she definitely deserves 🌹

[@GiGi-lg1dl]

I agree, she IS always that good 👏🏻

[@druidictroy1157]

Nikki will always be one of my favorites!!💜💙💜

[@carlshimota1022]

She’s always killed it on other roasts, usually by far the best. She’s so funny. Glad, everyone finally recognized it this time.

[@kotkaconforza]

So happy to see her have such a moment.

[@nannerz1994]

I'm obsessed with her confidence she deserves it 100%!

[@bpfastfeet25]

Her and Tony H had the sets of the night, but I think Nikki takes the cake overall! So so so so so impressive.

[@MMConsultinggroup]

Nikki Glaser's so flipping hilarious. I just watched her episode of Finding Your Roots. I was crying with how emotional the episode was. She found out that her and Sara Silverman share the same bloodline and are distant cousins! Totally makes sense, their both hilarious!

[@gheller2261]

SHE and Sarah Silverman.

[@srrs7928]

@gheller2261 Wrong. It's called "disjunctive pronoun", look it up smart arse.

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

That is SO cool! Nikki and Sarah are two of my favorite people in the world. ❤

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

​@@gheller2261You missed "their"...THEY'RE both hilarious. You're (not your) Welcome, Another Grammar Nazi

[@MMConsultinggroup]

@TheOldHippiebilly Right?! Me too! Yeah that episode of Finding Yor Roota she was on was really heartwarming. They surprised her about being related to Sarah Silverman at the end of the show after they did Nikki's Family history 🙂

[@johnlong1100]

She should go on SNL as MTG

[@jardinise4292]

Yes

[@cogboy302]

Ooooo, that would be a big job for the makeup folk. They'd have to make her look like a Neanderthal, and find some way to move her eyes closer together.

[@Nippleless_Cage]

Way too pretty for that 😂

[@JordanEngel]

Surprised to see a performer act so real on a talk show. Definitely going to watch the roast.

[@amandachenault6373]

She really did amazing. I haven't watched the whole thing, but just like the clips.

[@peachesandpoets]

Another blessing Conan brought to me. So proud of her! That set had no misses

[@Matt-og7si]

Hands down my fav comedian right now

[@MeowkinDottie]

Love seeing her get her due! She’s hilarious.

[@OnlyAtJaMart]

I’m happy for her! That’s why I never understand the “you’re just jealous” argument if you don’t like someone that’s successful. No, if they are a decent human being, it’s satisfying to watch them achieve success. Good people deserve good things. I wish that’s how the world always worked.

[@dereklangston9]

Love her. The funniest and sweetest lady❤

[@tonyguse]

The delay on the car seat joke at the end was gold!! That was awesome 😅

[@I_am_Serjohn]

Always loved Nikki on Connan. Glad to see her chemistry with Seth. He’s so quick witted. Happy for her success. She’s earned it.

[@nannerz1994]

"to be a bad mom that's as easy as being a great dad" ope truth bombs!

[@jacksquat4140]

What made Nikki's joke about bad mothers being as good as great fathers is how ridiculous it was. Everyone knows there's a vast sea of negligent, mediocre mothers plaguing society, but you can't joke about it, or even speak about it, because it's no laughing matter. The only "truth bomb" is that 80% of America's prison population comes from single mother households. It was a sexist joke meant to impress misandrists, which is encouraged by the media, and supported by the State.

[@ThePeej]

Nikki is, and has been very funny. All the attention is deserved!

[@sarahkillian3303]

Seth was ON POINT during this interview. I love watching him genuinely make Nikki laugh

[@JamieHarveyJr]

The car seat joke at the end was worth the wait 😂😂😂

[@kunalkhalkho9398]

didn't get it, do you mind telling?

[@MrSatnavatron]

It was a good Roast , Being British I had very little understanding of the game but the attitude of the dudes is global

[@datgrrl5698]

You are not "british"...if you were Scottish you would state that clearly, proudly, and unequivocally...if you were Welsh you would wear the dragon on your sleeve... you're english...cor blimey...

[@MrSatnavatron]

@@datgrrl5698 Great Britain , United Kingdom , I understand your point but I would never Identify as "English" - Im Mixed race - British mixed white, Afro Caribbean, Portuguese , West Indian . So I wouldn't call that "English" XD

[@LeMerch]

She is honestly just FUNNY. Really funny and genuine.

[@joncumber2020]

Brilliant set.

[@NewMessage]

One of the best roast, if not THE best roasts of the last decade. They finally brought the old Friars spirit back to roasting by having people the victim... erm, 'guest of honor', actually knows do the roasting. Mixed in with some big name roasters, a-la 'Comedy Central roasts'... This one finally felt right.

[@rockroussel7568]

I hope she does the White House correspondents dinner !!!

[@DukeJarboe]

That would be absolutely amazing

[@Adam-cw2ew]

You are truly a great soul. I fkn love Ms. Glaser. She is wonderful.

[@allengray5748]

Awesome interview and most AWESOMELY SAVAGE Roaster and comic!! Her parents must be Freaking Cool! 🕊️☮️

[@porchekirksey3056]

Loved everything about this interview 💜

[@grrrlishgrin]

I love Seth for bringing Niki on. He is such a supporter of comedians and particularly women comedians. This was obvs a spontaneous booking to respond to current culture references and i really appreciate the spirit of his show and what he wants to do (who he wants to amplify). Thank you @LateNightWthSethMyers

[@titations973233]

She’s so funny! I love when she is on those roasts; however, she has killer sets in her stand up specials. The last two were hilarious.

[@lashendawest7509]

We love nikki glaser and seth meyers

[@AdrianColley]

Yay, I just recently heard Nikki Glaser on episode 25 of the Self-Helpless podcast (yes, I'm very far behind) and it was so good.

[@ZaraAxelrod]

Nikki I love you! I'm turning 37 in June and your comedy speaks to me.

[@pualanalemelle841]

Nikki - you are the BEST! Thank you for being so awesome & true to you.

[@johnhaxby306]

she is finally getting her dues, good job Nikki!

[@lisas5211]

We need to talk about how hard Kevin Hart was almost crying he was so tore up from her set. You go girl!

[@tjcaruthers5593]

It's so awesome to see Nikki Glasser getting her flowers, finally. I've been a fan for awhile and remember her turning 30. She has grown as a comedian and watching that growth has been great. Congrats to Nikki and haha Jeff Ross lost to a girl.

[@missjk00]

I like when she apologizes. It's cute.

[@gdionwood]

Had it not been for Nikki, Sam Jay, Jeff Ross, Tony Hinchcliffe and Andrew schultz, the roast with such hype would've been a failure. Nikki was tops for sure, lol.

[@CannabisAndCancer]

Yeah these were the best! Nikki and Tony though were the absolute tops. Made up for the flops.

[@OLBK]

Seth is watchable when Nikki Glaser is there. Made me happy

[@bubblesezblonde]

9:19~ I've always suspected Dave Chappelle was 'terminally unique". Thanks for coorberrating my assessment Nikki. Good interview Seth.

[@PBJ1989]

The car seat joke was 🥇 love her always have!

[@sizzlereel3523]

Day Drinking w/ Nikki Glaser please!!

[@ssamcobalt4956]

Her set was easily the best at the Tom Brady roast

[@user-pn9mw2fd9g]

love the bedhead

[@blakberi]

Nikki Glaser is always the standout at roasts

[@hairgirl100]

I LOVE that Nikki is getting her moment. Well deserved. Plus I love that she didnt quite expect this reaction. Women love her because she wears her heart on her sleeve and she roasts herself most of all. When you can really drag yourself you have a good chance out there in the brutal comedy world.

[@shantitakemoto1058]

Her roast made me remember what great comedy is lol..the timing, delivery, the context, literally everything I almost did a standing ovation right there in my living room without even meaning to lol..she rose above the rest..and it was so much more than her jokes, it was everything..the words lightning in a bottle came to mind..you can tell by the reaction, great job Nikki!!!

[@saar144]

Watch her other 3 roast sets, she is amazing.

[@zoewood555]

I didn't realize she wrote her intro song. That's awesome ❤

[@Sunshinemouse]

She really is the Tom Brady of roasting. Legend 👏

[@kwxl]

She was the best at the roast, for sure! But it was kinda like she was the best at walking in a room full of toddlers. Love you Nikki! ❤

[@zoewood555]

Her special is hilarious 😂

[@JosephHaubert]

She is the roast queen. Ross is super funny but her sets are always little bit better. Extremely clever comedian who constantly delivers!

[@leodegas7731]

Great interview.

[@arlenemaldonado5218]

I was looking for some stand up on Netflix the other day and as i scrolled thru the list I saw Glaser's name and i didn't hesitate. All based on her performance on the TB roast. Good for her. Get it!

Even with the editing shes always the top comic performer

[@VieenRennes]

Saw her in New Zealand last year, she killed. Gotta go watch her roast!

[@usquebaugh1]

Funny, clever comedian and looking as good as ever. I haven't watched the Tom Brady roast yet so I'm late to the party, but I'm going to make time for the roast as well as her new special "Somebody You'll Die" this week. Seth's car seat comment / observation was funny as well!

[@VITALSPARKMEDIA]

That special is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while! She’s in TB12 form 😂
