Comedian Nikki Glaser on Cancel Culture Post-Golden Globes: I’m Not Afraid of That

‘I’m not trying to take anyone down’

EXCERPT:

GLASER: "I’m not scared of that. I mean, like, I really — yeah, I say, like, I’m scared to get on some kind of list. I know in my heart that I’m not saying anything that should get me on a list, so I’m not — I’m coming from a good place. I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings. I’m not trying to take anyone down or, like, make anyone feel bad about who they are. I just — if I were to get cancelled, I would — I would be upset about it, but I wouldn’t feel — I don’t think I’m doing anything that I should honestly feel guilty about, because I know that I’m coming from a good place. It's not like a — there’s not like an evilness in my heart that it’s coming from. So I I just have to return to that. And I think that’s, like, why I love Conan so much, is because, like, I talk about it tonight in my set so you’ll see it, but, like, I think one of the reasons I love him so much is because he can go to these, like, dark places and say things that you’re like, 'I can’t believe he said that,' but, like, he gets away with it because you know, in his heart, he’s a good person. You just trust, you know Conan’s like a kind human being. And I hope that — I know that I am, I really work on it, and so I can sleep at night knowing, like, I can say what I want to say, and I’m not like a bad person. And if it hurt people, I’ll probably apologize for it. That’s never my intent."
