This is FRESH air.
I'm Terry Gross.
We're continuing our end of the Year series featuring a few of the 2024 interviews we we particularly enjoyed today.
It's comic Nikki Glaser.
She's hosting the Golden Globes on Sunday, and her latest comedy special called Someday you'll Die, is nominated for a Globe.
She's also currently nominated for a Grammy for best comedy album and a Critics Choice TV Award for best comedy special.
When I spoke with her in July, I had to figure out how I was going to talk with her because a lot of her comedy is about sex in pretty explicit language that we cannot use in a broadcast.
One of her comedy specials is called Good Clean Filth.
She says that she talks about her privates so much she thinks of them as her publics.
That part of her comedy is about the pleasures, insecurities, embarrassments and absurdities involved with sex.
In Someday you'll Die, she also talks about why she doesn't want to have children, her thoughts on monogamy, her experiences with depression and suicidal thinking, getting older she's 40 and how comics are often afraid of getting canceled.
I think she's really funny.
Watching her work, I'm fascinated by how she often walks the line between incredibly perceptive and potentially tasteless or offensive.
Sometimes as I laugh out loud, I start wondering, is it OK to laugh at this?
