Summary

The last time Nikki Glaser was on The Last Laugh podcast, our conversation ended up producing material for her stand-up act. Now, in her return to the show, she apologizes for throwing me “under the bus” before sharing even more unfiltered thoughts about her objections to motherhood, struggles with suicidal thoughts and the very tricky balance between self-censorship and saying something she knows could get her “canceled”—all of which are integral to her latest HBO special ‘Someday You’ll Die.’ The comedian also reveals her approach to roasting Tom Brady at Netflix’s epic live event, explains why she decided to leave it all on the table with her jokes about Ted Cruz, Majorie Taylor Greene and other political figures while guest-hosting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ and shares how she’s feeling about turning 40 next month.

Come to a live taping of The Last Laugh podcast with special guest Mae Martin at Netflix Is a Joke Fest on May 8.

0:00.0	This is the Last Laugh.
0:06.2	I'm Matt Wilstein from The Daily Beast, and I am thrilled to welcome back on the podcast this week, one of my all-time favorite guests, Nikki Glazer.
0:16.1	Nikki and I had a great conversation on this show back in the summer of 2021.
0:22.6	It was so memorable for her,
0:28.4	apparently, that she ended up talking about it in her HBO special Good Clean Filth the following year.
0:34.5	More on that later. Now, Nikki has a brand new special called Someday You'll Die,
0:37.6	premiering on HBO this Saturday, May 11th.
0:43.0	We spoke ahead of both that and her return to the comedy roast at this past weekend's Roast of Tom Brady at Netflix Is a Joke Fest in L.A., which I got to check out in person
0:48.4	and was an absolute blast. As you're hearing this, I'm still in L.A. at the festival where tonight, Wednesday, May 8th,
0:56.3	I'll be taping my live podcast interview with comedian May Martin. I honestly have no idea if there
1:02.5	are still tickets available, but if you are in town and want to come see us live, there's a link
1:06.6	in the description for this episode. Nikki and I went so deep in this conversation that we decided
1:12.1	to skip the news segment with Allegra this week. So let's get right into it now. Here's me with
1:18.0	Nikki Glazer. Well, I really want to talk about your new special, but I feel like we have to get
1:22.4	something out of the way about your previous special, good, clean filth. So just the story from my perspective, I don't know if you know where I'm going with this.
1:30.4	So I love that special.
1:32.0	I was watching it a couple years ago, minding my business, you know, watching the special.
1:35.2	And then all of a sudden you're talking about the interview that you and I did the year before.
1:40.5	Oh, my God.
1:41.4	That led to that headline that you did not like.
1:45.1	Oh, wait.
1:45.8	What was the joke again?
