Wed Dec 25 19:20:00 UTC 2024: **Comedian Nikki Glaser Scores Touchdown with Improvised NFL Post-Game Show Segments**
INGLEWOOD, CA – Comedian Nikki Glaser’s unexpected journey from Tom Brady roaster to a staple of Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” post-game show is a testament to her quick wit and adaptability. Glaser’s initial success at the Brady roast led to five appearances on the show, where she delivers live, improvised comedy segments roasting both teams. Initially apprehensive about her lack of football knowledge, Glaser embraced the challenge, likening learning the game to learning a new language. Her segments, which are proving popular with viewers – boosting Prime’s post-game show viewership by 11% to an average of 2.05 million – are a unique blend of sports commentary and stand-up, a format rarely seen in post-game analysis. The live nature of her performances, which requires her and her writing team to craft jokes in real-time during the game, is proving invaluable training for her upcoming hosting gig at the Golden Globes. While Glaser’s appearances on Prime Video’s post-game show are currently finished for this season, both she and Amazon have expressed interest in continuing the collaboration next year.
