Comedian Nikki Glaser started the week with her memorable performance roasting Tom Brady on Netflix and will cap it off with the debut of her new standup special for HBO. Her sharp quips about the former NFL quarterback gained her thousands of new followers on Instagram and a hilarious appearance on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show.” Glaser, however, is taking it all in stride. She’s been doing standup long enough to know the ups and downs of the entertainment industry. “I’ve never felt like when are people gonna get it? I’m not one of those people. I always feel like I kind of am getting what I deserve. I’m not someone who’s been waiting for this my whole life,” Glaser told CNN in an interview this week. “I mean, obviously this has been the goal to be beloved on this kind of scale, but it’s also scary because when it comes on fast like this, you know, this kind of enthusiasm for someone lasts for a moment but can go away pretty quickly.” Glaser said she knew Brady’s “Greatest Roast of All Time” would land with viewers. “I knew it was a home run and I knew that the event would be special because it was live,” she said. “I had hoped it would be number one on Netflix and that there would be viral moments, but I didn’t think that I would be a big part of all that discussion.”
