Nikki Glaser's love of Taylor Swift

Nikki Glaser, a self-proclaimed Swiftie, has seen Taylor Swift perform live a staggering nine times! And it's not just because she has an urge to spend money on concert tickets. For Nikki, attending Taylor's concerts is an act of self-care. She describes the experience as an antidepressant, leaving her feeling amazing during and after the show.But why Taylor Swift? What is it about her music and performances that bring such joy to Nikki and countless other fans? According to Nikki, Taylor's shows are more than just musical performances. They are a full-blown sensory experience that immerses fans in Taylor's world of storytelling and artistry. It's a world that resonates deeply with Nikki and provides a sense of pure joy.In the interview, Nikki addresses the inevitable judgment from those who question her devotion to Taylor Swift. She aptly points out that people spend similar amounts of money on sporting events without facing the same criticism. For Nikki, the joy she derives from seeing Taylor Swift in person is worth every penny.It's intriguing to note that Nikki's experience at Taylor's concerts extends beyond the music itself. She feels a deep connection to Taylor's arm hair and even shares the same phone case as her idol. Nikki is immersed in Taylor's world to such an extent that she follows an account dedicated to Taylor's every move, bringing her closer to the artist she idolizes.Interestingly, Nikki confesses her uncertainty about meeting Taylor Swift in person. She fears that in the presence of her idol, she would be overwhelmed with emotion and struggle to express just how much Taylor means to her. It's a relatable sentiment for many fans who idolize public figures from afar but fear the impact of a real-life encounter.One particular anecdote Nikki highlights is Taylor's genuine care for her fans. During a concert in Philadelphia, Taylor noticed a fan being mistreated by a security guard and immediately intervened to protect her. Nikki, a comedian with her own legion of fans, draws inspiration from Taylor's commitment to being present and engaged with those who support her art.Gianmarco Seresi, a prominent figure in comedy, is asked about the potential impact of AI on the genre. Gianmarco suggests that while AI may assist in writing jokes, the essence of live comedy lies in the imperfections and humanity of the performers. This sentiment resonates strongly with me, as it reaffirms the unique and irreplaceable nature of live entertainment.Mae Martin discussed dating a coupleSuzy Eddie Izzard will do HamletRay Ramano has a new sitcomGo to TODAY TIX dot com slash dcn and use promo code dcn to get twenty dollars off your first TodayTix purchase!

John Mulaney's Dark but Hilarious Show: A Closer Look

John Mulaney recently sat down with Deadline to discuss his thoughts on his show, the intervention it was based on, and much moreIn the interview, Mulaney opens up about his detox experience and how it led to the creation of his dark but incredibly funny comedy special. He reveals that he even ranked the speeches delivered during the intervention, showcasing his unique humor even in such a serious situation.One interesting aspect Mulaney mentions is how some people viewed his special as darker than he initially intended. He wanted to present a joke-driven special that tackled complex and sad topics, but he never expected it to be perceived as so dark. Regardless, he's flattered and appreciative that people are engaging in deep discussions about it.Now, let's talk about that suit! Mulaney was asked about the fuchsia suit he wore during the special, and he hilariously admits to not being a great color person.

Jaosn Zinoman looked at the talented comedians featured in the new showcases on Netflix. The likes of Dulce Sloan, Nimesh Patel, Rosebud Baker, Gianmarco Soresii, and more are mentioned.

Reviews: What Now? with Trevor Noah and Sam Altman AND Senses Working Overtime with David Cross and Bob Odenkirk

First up, let's talk about the podcast scene. I recently checked out David Cross's "Senses working overtime" with guest Bob Odenkirk, and I have to say, I was left a little disappointed. On the other hand, Trevor Noah's podcast caught my attention. In his latest episode, he interviewed Sam Altman, and it was a fantastic conversation about artificial intelligence. Collider recently published an intriguing article discussing how Netflix stand-up specials aren't as special as they used to be. They pointed out that the streaming giant seems less interested in curating new specials, with many releases lacking proper promotion or advertising. It's as if they've run out of comedians to grant this platform to. The article emphasized that unless a comedian is considered "generation-defining" like Ali Wong or Dave Chappelle, Netflix doesn't seem keen on pushing their specials.Switching gears, the AARP recently featured an interview with Jesus Trejo, a comedian and caregiver. Caregiving can be challenging, but Jesus highlighted the privilege it is to spend time with your loved ones, even during tough moments..
