Conan Turns Nikki Glaser’s Interview Into A Therapy Session | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

what I walked away from the roast being. you know I was I was trying to just. throw myself under the bus constantly of. like oh you know it's like when someone. wins the Super Bowl or MVP it was really. a team effort and it really was for me. with with my team but I was like okay. walk away you know what I'm going to. give myself credit for I I know what's. funny I'm I'm a good curator and I. really did run that I know I picked that. set and someone else could have had. every element that I had and would have. done a totally different set so I give. myself some credit for that I give. myself some credit for the performance. and the timing and and I did write a lot.

of the jokes and and and I could I could. find a way to say okay I'm special but. then I also don't want to get I don't. want to get I don't want to think that. I'm special either I don't want to think. too much that I'm special yes I. understand that believe me but I'm. really hot I understand that you are and. that's what I'm taking away from this Dr. dead gorgeous thank you so much and uh. and you can't walk around thinking that. but every now and then you've got to. just go into like a phone booth if they. even exist anymore where's this.

wor no go phone Boo and shut it just be. like boo you say quietly to yourself. Nikki I am I am very hot and then you. come out you need to say that to. yourself yeah you do. too handsome guy there are two of those. little isolation phone booths here in. this studio that you guys do that we'll. each go into our separate phone Boo and. talk about how hot we are do U like um. affirmations because I I honestly do. that sometimes not the beautiful are all. negative.

that's the problem various negative. things about myself yeah no I mean we. you have the same struggle of like. feeling like less than in in VAR way you. know what's interesting I think you can. probably relate to this I believe that. our core sense of self is molded at a. very early age and so I was in a very. different situation when I was 7 8 9. years old and that's when my view of the. world and my place in it was formed it's.

like that's when the cement dried and. then later on what is that view what is. what do you take away from that age oh. getting picked last to be on a team uh. kids give me a hard time I got a funny. name I've got a lot of freckles and. orange hair uh and I don't quite know. where I fit in is that when the amping. up the sense of humor kind of took over. AG when I think what happens I've always. had this theory that you look in it's uh. you look you're a giving this like.

little bag of tricks when you're born. you don't even know what's in there and. then you spend time finding little. things and you're like H is great. athlete in here jeez I don't see it and. and for me it was for me it was this bag. feels kind of. light like I'm walking around and seeing. other people with their bags and they're. just like all this stuff is coming out. of it harp Prodigy throw a fast ball 90. M an hour looks like a young Carri Grant. and I'm going like.

chck in an old receip but also yeah and. also there's still a lot of it's in it's. a relatively new bag so there's a lot of. tissue they put in it just to fill out. the b and I'm like it looked Fuller but. this is just tissue to and then so where. did you get the first kind of. inclination you have a special skill for. comedy because that had to be the where. you go I found it in my bag third fourth. grade I start to realize that that young. yeah I start to realize that I'm people. are really laughing when I'm doing.

things and then they kind of give me a. break but then uh I keep devaluing it. and I keep thinking well that's just for. your friends that doesn't really so um. it took a while I mean it's really not. until college that I see the real value. of wait a minute writing cuz that's when. the started coming in oh man. Professor here Professor. drowning and puss yeah nope uh but what. what in college that's when it you go. that's when I started yeah and then but. then it still took a long time because.

physically it took me a long time to for. me to come into my own cuz I grew tall. late very quickly and I'm. 6455 lb and I've talked to Structural. Engineers and they say it that's not. possible and I'm like um and I I see. pictures from that era and I look it's. crazy I'm so cra yeah that's. what that's what happened to me too like. I I was anorexic at College I've. probably told this on this podcast.

before but it was absolutely I loved. comedy absorbed it all was always just. laughing at my friends and under just. admiring them for how funny they were. and and I definitely had funny lines. here and there and I just would study. comedy but it wasn't until College where. um I I was so you know skinny and um no. one wanted to be friends with me and I. was so just someone that everyone was. making fun of and Whispering about that. I was like I got to I got to do. something else that people are going to. talk about I got to take control of this. and that's when that's when started to.

hear oh you're funny and then that's. when that's when I found that in my bag. I didn't know that I was looking in that. bag that you're talking about for so. long of like what is going to be my. thing like I want to be I want I. know I want to be a performer I know I. want to be on TV but what doing what. wasn't good at acting wasn't getting I. didn't go to even like a performing arts. high school but I was still getting like. Jewish towns person B in the Diary of an. Frank you know like and I was a senior. like this was supposed to be my moment. to finally get the lead hey if you do it. right that's the role that's the role.
