Nikki Glaser Leveraging Prime Video NFL Postgame Show Appearances

Nikki Glaser has been making waves with football fans this season, thanks to her appearances on Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” postgame show. It all started with her standout performance at the Tom Brady Roast, which led to five appearances on the show.

During a recent game between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, Glaser shared that her success at the Brady roast made her “Late Hits” segment a no-brainer. Despite her admitted lack of extensive football knowledge, she found a way to connect with the football audience through humor and shared experiences.

Glaser’s journey into the world of football started casually watching Chiefs games because of Taylor Swift’s relationship with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce. Over time, she decided to dive deeper into the game, likening it to learning a new language. She found that football fans were more welcoming and eager to help her understand the game than she initially thought.

While comedians like Frank Caliendo and Rob Riggle have made appearances on pregame shows in the past, Glaser brought something new to the table with live stand-up comedy after the game. With material being developed on the spot during the game, Glaser and her team took risks that paid off, drawing in a growing audience of over 2 million viewers on Prime Video’s postgame show.

The live nature of Glaser’s segments also served as excellent preparation for her upcoming hosting gig at the Golden Globes. She shared that the experience of crafting and delivering jokes on the spot has been a valuable learning opportunity, one that she hopes to carry forward into future projects.

Although Glaser’s appearances on Prime Video’s postgame show for this season have concluded, both she and the show’s producers are open to collaborating again in the future. Glaser expressed her newfound confidence in talking about football and engaging in sports conversations—a significant achievement for someone who initially felt hesitant about diving into the world of football.

As she continues to grow and learn in her comedy and entertainment career, Glaser’s unique blend of humor and curiosity has made her a welcome addition to the sports entertainment landscape.
