I live in St. Louis, but Im [staying] in LA, preparing for the Golden Globes.
I walk onstage and go, Hey, guys, Im hosting the Golden Globes.
Do you mind if I run some jokes?
yo dont tell anyone these jokes.
Malle:What if somebody records the set and posts it?
Glaser:Well, if they do that, Im screwed.
I just kind of trust; Im the same way with my purse and my things.
Malle:What else are you doing for Globes prep?
I feel like its a marathon, and youre really in the last stretch.
Glaser:Its such a marathon!
I have to kind of cater the jokes to see to it people are going to laugh at them.
Malle:That makes sense.
Glaser:I dont want to make anyone feel uncomfortable or feel like they were called out.
Its not based on one persons reaction who the cameras going to go to afterwards.
Malle:I would think that the Tom Brady roast would prepare you well for that.
Glaser:It did, just in terms of the high stakes and the live aspect of it.
Were there to celebrate people, but thats after my monologue.
My monologue is a comedy moment, so its just going to be pretty rapid-fire.
Glaser:I think its the audience, which is why Im trying them out.
He kept saying, I dont care.
Im not doing this again, so thats fitting for that.
But I cant come out there and go I dont care.
[But] I do care.
Like, this is my first time.
Malle:Is there any time when youve really regretted going too far?
Glaser:Not yet.
There was a part of me that was like,“Yeah, thats fair.”
Like, she has a right to feel that way, and I probably do owe her an apology.
At a roast, youre signing up to be there.
I have to be a little bit more gentle.
If it goes well, Ill be like,Yeah, I definitely should have.
Did you feel like any of this was on the horizon as you headed into this year?
Glaser:Every year, people are kind of like, This is gonna be your year.
My special came out a week after that, and more eyes were on it.
People kind of knew who I was, so it wasnt as shocking, maybe.
Im not an imposter.
Just based solely on how hard Ive worked, I should be good.
I should just put this on YouTube!
But this HBO special was the first time I was like No, I deserve to be there.
Then for the Tom Brady roast, I just knew it was gonna be a huge deal.
It was Tom Brady!
It was like, nobody this high-profile has ever done a roast before.
But after the roast, my face was everywhere.
Anywhere I went, there were people that had me on their phones.
Glaser:That was one of my favorite interviews of the year.
I love talking about Taylor Swift.
Malle:How are you feeling now that the Eras Tour is over?
Glaser:I think I actually needed the break?
Its a lot of shows.
I would fly my mom out, and she went to 10 of the shows with me.
Malle:Did you swap friendship bracelets with kids?
Its so adorable.But also, some of the bracelets people gave me were really inappropriate.
Like, people made me bracelets with, like, Someday Youll Die written on them or something.
Or, you know, Funny Bitch or whatever.
Then I would trade them with these little girls and be like, Choose one!
Oh God, notthatone!
Thats the thing I love about her shows the most, is just being around other Swifties.
Dont count those out as not valuable Swiftie experiences, because they are so, so fulfilling.
Malle:I feel like dressing to host an award show is a gargantuan task.
What era are you channeling for the Globes?
What is the vibe going to be?
Like Glinda, the innocent assassin.
I would never make fun of you.
Theres something really fun about that.
Specter:Is there any celebrity or comedian that you most hope would roast you?
Malle:Do you remember what it was?
Specter:Yeah, I dont want Pete Davidson to ever notice my ass.
And then she turned around and I go,Oh, comedian.
I was like,Yes!
Cause he knew it wasnt gonna resonate.
So, yeah, theres consequences for sure.
Specter:Is there a comedy special youve watched recently that really makes you laugh?
Glaser:Dave Attells is amazing.Its on Netflix.
I just love rapid-fire jokes.
I dont need to watch you just simmer in how amazing that joke was.
And it really wasnt even that good.
You just made a face that made everyone go, I guess we have to applaud now?
Rachel Feinsteins one of my favorite comedians of all time.
