She&#8217;s obviously hilarious, but in a way that pushes boundaries most didn\u2019t even know existed. As a savage roast-master, she somehow simultaneously puts people at ease while she (sweetly) says the dark things we&#8217;re all thinking.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DIgiSV9OFsp\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

She&#8217;s unique and thoughtful with her approach to joke-writing, but is also not afraid to dig deep with the constant effort to better her life. She never shies away from getting truly vulnerable, making most people in the room feel like they&#8217;re her best friend. Luckily, I actually <em>can<\/em> call Nikki a friend and can wholeheartedly relay that she&#8217;s the kind of person who walks into a room and electrifies it. She&#8217;s not only wicked-smart, but she&#8217;s the kind of girl&#8217;s girl who shows up, no matter how busy she is. (I recall once complaining about the Los Angeles dating pool and within five minutes, she had set me up on a blind date.) She&#8217;s as solid as they come and I was thrilled to chat with her for <em>Upworthy<\/em> about some things I always wanted to know.<\/p><p><strong><em>Upworthy<\/em>: If you remember the movie <em>Sliding Doors<\/em>\u2014if one thing had gone differently for you\u2014what do you think you\u2019d be doing?<\/strong><\/p><p>Glaser: &#8220;I like to think that if my voice teacher in high school hadn\u2019t taken my mom aside after one of our lessons and told her I had a bad voice and would never make it in musical theater, that I would have kept singing. And maybe would have been able to pursue a career in music, (not musical theater, she was probably right about that one). But I think that I just assumed she meant <em>all<\/em> singing. Now, I\u2019m way too many years into singing improperly. I take voice lessons now, but it\u2019s so hard to undo years of poor singing that I could have avoided if I had never given up.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube\">        \t\t<div class=\"embed-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-has-aspect-ratio \"> \n\t\t\t\t<div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/9FUgpgzUceQ\/hqdefault.jpg)\" class=\"rkv-video-placeholder \" data-provider=\"youtube\" data-video-id=\"9FUgpgzUceQ\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button aria-label=\"Play video\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"17\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 17 20\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M16.5 9.75047C16.5006 10.0051 16.4353 10.2556 16.3105 10.4775C16.1856 10.6995 16.0055 10.8853 15.7875 11.017L2.28 19.2802C2.05227 19.4196 1.79144 19.4957 1.52445 19.5007C1.25746 19.5056 0.993989 19.4392 0.76125 19.3083C0.530728 19.1794 0.338696 18.9914 0.204904 18.7637C0.0711107 18.536 0.000385179 18.2768 0 18.0127V1.48828C0.000385179 1.22417 0.0711107 0.964934 0.204904 0.737222C0.338696 0.509511 0.530728 0.321545 0.76125 0.192655C0.993989 0.0617322 1.25746 -0.00468706 1.52445 0.0002572C1.79144 0.00520146 2.05227 0.0813301 2.28 0.220781L15.7875 8.4839C16.0055 8.6156 16.1856 8.80145 16.3105 9.0234C16.4353 9.24534 16.5006 9.49582 16.5 9.75047Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t                        <\/p><p>Glaser continues with the message she wishes she had received earlier, and wishes to impart on younger generations:<\/p><p>&#8220;In general, I think that if I had just gotten the message at a young age that talent isn\u2019t born, it\u2019s developed, I would have pursued more things that I thought I just didn\u2019t &#8216;have.&#8217; I was never someone who was naturally talented.

It really helped. I would also recommend 12-step programs. There\u2019s one for just about everything (if you don\u2019t have an addiction, look into the requirements to qualify for Al-Anon because that&#8217;s really a catch-all).

Like someone like Patrick Schwarzenegger. I ran into him at a party and it was right after the second episode of <em>White Lotus<\/em> season three, so I knew he wasn\u2019t being hounded yet. I was happy to bother him and gush over how much of an incredible talent he is. As someone who\u2019s not a huge A-lister, I get how much it means when someone tells you they like your work. But someone who is a global pop star doesn\u2019t need me shaking and crying and telling her she saved my life. I don\u2019t want to bother her with my anxiety. She needs to save her energy to write songs, not hug me so I stop convulsing.&#8221;<\/p><p><strong><em>Upworthy: No matter how popular you get, is there one thing about you that will never change?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Glaser: &#8220;I don\u2019t think people really ever change.

I know that some artists and comedians argue that it serves their work to be depressed or anxious, but I feel like I&#8217;ve already mined all of my insecurities for material in the first two decades of my career. I\u2019d like to change into someone who\u2019s more confident, but don\u2019t we all? I don\u2019t want to ever think that I\u2019m better than anyone else, but I\u2019d like to lose the core belief that I\u2019m worse than others.&#8221;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My very famous friend shares some wisdom we could all take to heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":187524,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"alternative_headline":"","alternative_description":"","alternative_featured_image":0,"rkv_announcement":{"visible":true},"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"partner_boost":false,"hide_partner_badge":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[176,177,146],"tags":[135,2535,2536,2537,2538,2539,157,2540,2541,2542,2023,1759],"sponsor":[],"rkv-people-shadow":[121,216],"class_list":["post-63","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-humor","category-joy","category-popular","tag-popular_source-pageview","tag-comedian","tag-dave-matthews","tag-funny-friends","tag-hard-work","tag-imposter-syndrome","tag-mental-health","tag-nikki-glaser","tag-podcast","tag-roastmaster","tag-stand-up-comedy","tag-time-magazine"],"edit_link":null,"apple_news_notices":[],"rkv_author":{"id":121,"name":"Pamela Ross","display_name":"Pamela Ross","first_name":"","last_name":"","nickname":"","url":"https:\/\/goodinc.com\/qa-upworthy\/author\/pamela-ross\/","link":"https:\/\/goodinc.com\/qa-upworthy\/author\/pamela-ross\/","description":"","slug":"pamela-ross","avatar_urls":[],"email":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I thought I knew my pal Nikki Glaser.
