Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Nicky Glazer's publicist really trying to get
Speaker 1: this done and don't forget She's hosting the Golden Globes
Speaker 1: on January fifth of Low, I'm Johnny Mackett. It's Friday
Speaker 1: the thirteenth. Are you scared? I have your daily comedy
Speaker 1: news for you. Rolling Stone did a big fluff job
Speaker 1: of Nicki Glazer. They remind us of the Nicky Glazer
Speaker 1: push that started with the roast of Tom Brady in
Speaker 1: the same week as her HBO Max special Rolling Stone
Speaker 1: Right Suddenly, Glazer was everywhere. She appeared on The Howard
Speaker 1: Stern Show and the massive podcast SmartLess. She then began
Speaker 1: a sixty seven show tour of North America that goes
Speaker 1: through June. She's hosting the Golden Globes. She's nominated for
Speaker 1: Best Performance in Stand Up Comedy at the Globes. She's
Speaker 1: positive that a list audience members like George Clooney or
Speaker 1: Jennifer Aniston or Brad Pitt won't be familiar with her.
Speaker 1: She says, I'm gonna have to butter them up a bit,
Speaker 1: which I'm happy to do because I'm in awe of
Speaker 1: them and I do think they're better than me. I
Speaker 1: desperately seek their approval. She then he goes on to
Speaker 1: discuss the various sexual topics that I won't do here.
Speaker 1: I try and keep the show relatively clean. Rolling Stone said, wait,
Speaker 1: since the special air, do you stop being horny? Glazier says, yeah.
Speaker 1: He's talking about her boyfriend that she's been on and
Speaker 1: off with for a decade. I was convincing myself that
Speaker 1: eventually he was going to discover something about me that
Speaker 1: was going to discuss him in a way, so I
Speaker 1: was pushing him away. Back in May, the boyfriend convinced
Speaker 1: Nikki that he loved her unconditionally, and in doing so,
Speaker 1: writes rolling Stone, eliminated the titillating potential for newness that
Speaker 1: existed if they broke up again. She's exhausted from traveling
Speaker 1: so much and says, I feel like the plane is
Speaker 1: the last place where you still have an excuse to
Speaker 1: not be available. I'm craving that people can't get to me.
Speaker 1: On the day of this interview, she was in New
Speaker 1: York for the Joan Rivers tribute and said, it feels like,
Speaker 1: oh no, I tricked them, and now I have to
Speaker 1: live up to this thing that maybe they saw in
Speaker 1: me one moment of greatness, but I can't keep that up.
Speaker 1: One day recently, Glazer said to a friend, I'm just
Speaker 1: a fraud, and I'd even write that joke that everyone's
Speaker 1: obsessed with and compliments me for all the time. After
Speaker 1: the roast and the special, she had to ask herself
Speaker 1: in her therapist, if this ain't fun, what's the point?
Speaker 1: Because the goal is to be at this level, and
Speaker 1: now I'm here and I'm miserable, Like then I should
Speaker 1: stop and start a pet rescue as the next part
Speaker 1: is a little worrisome to me, Rolling Stone writes. Glazier
Speaker 1: has a group chat on which she shares her darkest
Speaker 1: thoughts with her nine best friends, lovingly accrued from fourth
Speaker 1: grade to adulthood. In a recent voice memo, Nikki said,
Speaker 1: I wish a car would hit me. I'd love to
Speaker 1: die right now, but I just don't even want to
Speaker 1: because I feel like the guy doing my autopsy would
Speaker 1: be like, uh, she's so fat. The group responded, that's
Speaker 1: so funny. Write that down. Glazier says, her friends understand
Speaker 1: that these are just terrible thoughts and not precursors to
Speaker 1: terrible actions. In order to avoid worrying the chat to
Speaker 1: the point where they feel compelled to have her committed,
Speaker 1: which happened during a life threatening anorexic episode as a teen,
Speaker 1: Glazier's promised that if she ever actually considered hurting a self,
Speaker 1: she will seek help. Rolling Stone added, and I'm glad
Speaker 1: they did, because after reading that, I was going to
Speaker 1: add it. The number for the suicide and Crisis Lifeline
Speaker 1: is nine to eight to eight, Glazier says, the dopamine
Speaker 1: rush that I can get when a new joke works.
Speaker 1: Any comedian will tell you that's why we keep doing this,
Speaker 1: because it feels so good and something you've just thought
Speaker 1: of makes a whole room burst out laughing. We like
Speaker 1: you is pretty much what they're saying with their laugh.
Speaker 1: When I get most oppressed is when I haven't had
Speaker 1: time to write new material for the Golden Globes. She's
Speaker 1: gonna have a conversation with the director about which celebrities
Speaker 1: to cut to you for reaction shots. She says, if
Speaker 1: the first one says this is the funniest thing I've
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life and it has a thousand
Speaker 1: up votes, you kind of go, oh, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be funny Glazer's thinking of close ups of Robert de Niro,
Speaker 1: Matt Damon, and Jamie Lee Curtis. I've noticed they're great laughers.
Speaker 1: Don't have the director cut to Taylor Swift. She could
Speaker 1: murder your career. Just warning you. I know you'll love her,
Speaker 1: but be very careful. One time Joe Coy, host of
Speaker 1: the Golden Globes, and I think we all know what happened.
Speaker 1: I'm ready for a challenge. I think as an artist,
Speaker 1: you have to keep doing things that make you deeply uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Now it makes me very uncomfortable is having to do
Speaker 1: a hard thing, which is be clean. You know. I
Speaker 1: hope she's okay. It is reading that article. I kind
Speaker 1: of got the I don't know the feeling, you know,
Speaker 1: I hope she's doing okay. Ray Romano has said his
Speaker 1: son tried stand up. He was doing a presser and said, yeah,
Speaker 1: my son went on a stand up trip. He goes
Speaker 1: to these little dives and he tries stand up for
Speaker 1: the first time, and the people aren't even facing the stage.
Speaker 1: There aren't even people in there, and of course it
Speaker 1: doesn't go well, and he takes it very personal. So
Speaker 1: I had to almost grab him go. You don't understand.
Speaker 1: First of all, you can't do well in a place
Speaker 1: like that, and you can't do well when it's your
Speaker 1: first time on stage. I understand your hurt, but you
Speaker 1: really have no right to be upset right now. Stand
Speaker 1: up takes a long time. That's all I told him.
Speaker 1: Please don't get that way, because that's the way I was.
Speaker 1: I gave it up twice. You know, I got beat
Speaker 1: down my first time. I gave it up, but I
Speaker 1: got beat down the second time again, but luckily I
Speaker 1: tried a third time. Russell Peters told The Toronto Star
Speaker 1: he doesn't really have any plans outside stand up. He says,
Speaker 1: I see nothing. I mean just touring's really another thing
Speaker 1: that makes me money. The industry was never a Russell
Speaker 1: Peters outlly, and there's still not. So I'm gone this
Speaker 1: far without him. I don't know what that's about. I've
Speaker 1: never really heard bad things about Russell. Maybe, perhaps possibly
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, I heard he was a little full
Speaker 1: of himself. Maybe i've met him. He was fine, not
Speaker 1: the warmest fellow, but neither's Jerry Seinfeld. I don't know,
Speaker 1: He commented on Tony Cliff performing at the rally and
Speaker 1: said in a comedy club setting that joke would have
Speaker 1: been very funny where people would have been able to
Speaker 1: hear the irony in the joke. Puerto Rico's a beautiful place.
Speaker 1: I've been there. Speaking of Jerry seinfeld super car, Blondie,
Speaker 1: your home for Comedy News tells us that Jerry has
Speaker 1: just bought a nineteen seventy one Fiat one twenty four
Speaker 1: special t. It's a simple car that cost him eighteen
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. It's got a two tone cloth interior that
Speaker 1: has nineteen seventies written all over it. It's a gorgeous
Speaker 1: shade of sand yellow. Fiat calls the color dark Ivory.
Speaker 1: The engine is a one point four leader in line
Speaker 1: four puts out eighty horsepower and kiss You're curious Front
Speaker 1: of the show. Scott Beckett sent me another email. All right,
Speaker 1: let's read this one. Scott said, did what you reported
Speaker 1: pastor smell test that a full time cast member for
Speaker 1: SNL makes like fifty five to sixty K a season.
Speaker 1: I added the like you didn't balk when you reported that,
Speaker 1: that's absolutely no way that can be true. Listen, Scott Beckett,
Speaker 1: if Pete Davidson tells me something I accepted at face.
Speaker 1: Valuete Davidson has never said anything untrue to me. Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't I believe Pete Davidson. Scott did some Internet research
Speaker 1: and says that he found that the starting salary weekly
Speaker 1: for an SNL cast members seven thousand dollars and that
Speaker 1: Keenan Thompson and some other people are making like five
Speaker 1: hundred grand a year. Well, Scott Beckett Variety spoke to
Speaker 1: Keenan Thompson. Keenan told Variety cast members at SNL have
Speaker 1: to pay their dues a little bit when it comes
Speaker 1: to starting salaries. It's pretty notorious that it's more about
Speaker 1: having the job than getting paid for the job. Thompson
Speaker 1: did not give specific salary numbers. Jason Sidekez shared a
Speaker 1: sentiment about his salary and said, I mean, you don't
Speaker 1: even make enough money to make big purchases, all right.
Speaker 1: I have just typed into chant gpt. How much do
Speaker 1: people on SNL make site sources. According to chat GPT,
Speaker 1: new cast members typically earn around eight thousand dollars per episode,
Speaker 1: which equates to approximately one hundred and forty seven grand
Speaker 1: based on a twenty one episode season. More experienced cast
Speaker 1: members can make up to fifteen granded episode, which would
Speaker 1: be three fifteen. Chat asked, let me know if you'd
Speaker 1: like further details. Yes. Unfortunately for all of us, it
Speaker 1: has no further details, So I don't know. Three thousand
Speaker 1: and eight thousand seems to be a number like that. Hey,
Speaker 1: I found out because I went to the Hulu website.

Speaker 1: I found out, and maybe we knew this ready. I

Speaker 1: for the weird, creative ditches you only find it fairs.
Speaker 1: He told me he planned to spend his eighties going
