EXCLUSIVE: Interview With Nikki Glaser - Threesomes, Amy Schumer And Australia

Nikki Glaser's show Not Safe with Nikki Glaser has proven to be a real sexy hit. Comedy Central Australia sat down for a chat with the star herself to discuss an array of subjects... mainly sex related...

CC: So congrats on the show! It’s so good and Australians are loving it.

Nikki: Thankyou!

CC: And that’s not just the standard “people are loving it” cliche, ratings are actually good, so it’s legit.

Nikki: Oh that’s awesome, that's so nice to hear.

CC: So on the show so far, what’s been your favourite shoot that you’ve been on?

Nikki: Oh that’s a good question… I think it comes in the 13th or 14th episode, I shoot a music video with the R&B super star Omarion.That was my favourite because I’ve always wanted to be in a music video and it was like a dream come true and the song is really funny and good and I got to dance with all these dancers, it was like a really fun day. It was one of the best days for the whole staff, we had a blast making it.

CC: Awesome, and I was wondering… you’ve commented on porn, you had a penis shoot, is there anything you guys have come up with that you haven’t been able to do or something you’ve made which can’t go to air?

Nikki: You know we were thinking, and you’re the only people I’m telling this, but we were thinking of doing a Hollywood tour where we would go to places where Bill Cosby would rape women and just point out how he’s done so much. For example, this is the court house where he settled out of court, we just wanted to do a Hollywood like bus tour and have all these tourists and tell them all these horrific things, but then it seemed like we were making light of it and I was like: I don’t feel good about this. By the way we ended up saying we’re not going to show the network this, so the network didn’t say we couldn’t do it. Anyway It’s hard to take a stance about something like that that’s that awful and make it funny, so we decided against it. But it was great on paper.

CC: So this season you talked about opening up your relationship with your boyfriend and I was wondering if out of all your guests you’ve had on your show so far, who would you feel comfortable inviting into a threesome with your boyfriend?

Nikki: Oh my gosh that’s a good question, if I wanted to do a threesome I would invite another guy because I don’t have a desire to hook up with girls. I would rather just watch him hook up with a girl and not have to participate because I would just disappoint her, ya know? So if it was a guy I would love it to be T.J. Miller because both me and my boyfriend love him.

CC: And then who do you think your boyfriend would choose if you asked him?

Nikki: He would probably pick Kristen Schaal. When she was around people just fell in love with her including myself. I would probably pick her too… I could probably go down on her. She is amazing and so fun and funny and nice and personable. She’s everything you want in a person and a celebrity to be… she’s awesome.

CC: She seems like a dream, Kristen Schaal.

Nikki: She is, she’s a fucking dream.

CC: So you’ve been on Inside Amy Schumer a bit and you always seem to play the straight girl, you’re like the most put together. Like in that complement sketch you’re the one that’s comfortable with herself. Do you play the straight friend because Amy sees you that way or she thinks its funny to write that for you because you’re the opposite of that.

Nikki: It’s funny, it all got started because Amy sent me the script for the complements sketch and I was insecure about my Acting chops so I picked the one with the least amount of lines. So she was like, you can be whoever you want to be… obviously I regretted that because it would have been way more fun to be one of the other girls but then that just became my role there on out and I really embraced it. It was an easy shoot day for me because I just waited till the end and looked interested in what they’re saying, and at the end I have my line… so it was always like a very easy day for me. Very low pressure… but yeah, it was all because I was scared to be in more of a prominent role. Because I was like, if I’m doing this with all these other girls, Amy who's this accomplished actress I should just minimise my role to protect my self and now I regret that. But when I was 27 I didn’t have the best self esteem.

CC: But now you have your own show…

Nikki: Now I have my own show and I don’t have to be the straight one. Although I do love playing opposite Amy as the straight character, so maybe it was written with me in mind. But she did put me in Trainwreck as one of the friends of her sisters who's at the bridal shower party, judging her - and I got to play that real free, which was fun and so it went the other way and I got to be the worst person alive. Just not getting a joke and having no humour. So I like anything she writes for me, it’s the best kind of friend to have, someone who’s so smart and generous and just successful… it’s pretty awesome.

CC: You’re such a nice friend…talking about Amy, she’ll be coming to Australia to do stand up, same with Natasha Leggero… they’re coming here this year. Do you have any plans to come down after your stand up special?

Nikki: Oh my god, it’s my dream… I've been invited by friends over there to come and do stand up, but it’s always just a weird way to get into it… like I haven’t quite figured it out and right now I’m so busy here, it’d be really hard to go.

CC: Awesome... if you do come to Australia… I’ve got some Aussie slang, which to be honest I’m not too well versed in. But do you want to see if you can translate some of it?

Nikki: I’d love to…

CC: Okay so, its all kind of sex related or even sounds sex related...

Nikki: My favourite Aussie slang is calling a cooler an Eski…

CC: I wouldn’t even know to call it a cooler.

Nikki: I love Eski, it’s so cute, it’s my fav.

CC: So, have you ever heard the term: Bury The Bishop and what do you think it means?

Nikki: I think burying the bishop would be penetrating someone.

CC: Exactly.

Nikki: I think your dick is the bishop. Although, maybe it’s in the butt because it's the dirt hole?

CC: Literally it’s just having sex.

Nikki: Okay okay got it got…. I took it to a dirty place it didn’t need to go.

CC: Okay, banana bender…

Nikki: Banana Bender? I think maybe that’s doggy style? or reverse cowgirl? Cos your dickbends? …

CC: It’s just….

Nikki: Oh no no, that’s just like getting a boner?

CC: It’s literally just someone from Queensland… the state.

Nikki: …

CC: Like the state is known for its bananas, so it sounds sexual but it’s not.

Nikki: Wait so it’s not sexual? People are just called banana benders?

CC: Yeah people are just called banana benders… but its not actually sexual.

Nikki: Oh my god… I didn’t know that, I’m going to embrace that.

CC: The next one is Wristy.

Nikki: Wristy?

CC: Wristy.

Nikki: Like R-i-s-k=y? or W-r-i...

CC: Wri-

Nikki: Oh someone who masturbates a lot.

CC: It’s just like a hand job.

Nikki: Oh a wristy! Oh my gosh… maybe that’s why im bad at them because I don’t use my wrist.

CC: Yeah maybe… awesome, well I think that’s all we have time for, thank you so much for speaking to us.

Nikki: Thank you so much! This was a delight!

CC: We hope to see you down in Australia and are looking forward to Season 2!
