Summary

Nikki Glaser is a world-class stand-up comedian, a ruthless celebrity roaster and an endlessly engaging daily podcaster. Now, she’s also a reality TV star thanks to her new gig hosting the deliberately absurd dating show ‘FBoy Island’ on HBO Max (which returned for its second season this week). In this episode, Glaser talks about how she landed her dream job after “embarrassing” herself on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ shares her unvarnished opinions on thorny issues like body image and cancel culture and reveals some wild behind-the-scenes stories about roasting Ann Coulter, Alec Baldwin, Caitlyn Jenner, Blake Griffin, Jeff Ross and more. Check out Nikki Glaser’s new hour-long stand-up special ‘Good Clean Filth,’ premiering on HBO this Saturday night, July 16th, at 10pm and streaming on HBO Max after that. This episode was originally published on July 27th, 2021.

0:00.0	This is The Last Laugh.
0:06.9	I'm Matt Wilstein from The Daily Beast, and this is a very big week for comedian Nicky
0:12.8	Glazer.
0:14.4	On Thursday, the second season of her increasingly popular reality show F Boy Island premiered
0:19.9	on HBO Max.
0:21.5	Then on Saturday, her latest hour-long special, Good Clean Filth, drops on HBO.
0:27.7	Now, I just got an early look at the new special, which is really great, by the way.
0:32.6	And that's how I learned that apparently Nikki was not thrilled that when she was my guest on this podcast,
0:38.4	we chose to highlight her line that she would rather be, quote, fuckable than funny in the
0:43.5	headline that ran on the Daily Beast website.
0:46.4	She references our interview during a larger bit in the special about the advice women are
0:50.9	given on how to land a man.
0:52.5	And she actually suggests she was misquoted
0:55.2	before admitting that is actually what she told me, even if she kind of regretted saying it
1:00.3	afterwards. Now, look, I thought Nikki and I had a really great conversation when we talked last
1:05.9	summer, and that's why I wanted to repost this episode today so you can hear everything that she had to say in its original context.
1:14.0	Like with all of my guests, I hope that Nikki doesn't regret coming on this podcast, even if we do get into tricky territory sometimes.
1:21.6	And if nothing else, at least she got some good material out of it.
1:25.3	So whether you missed it the first time or just want to revisit it,
1:28.8	here's my conversation with the very funny Nikki Glazer.
