When Nikki Glaser took the stage to perform The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, she made headlines with her bone-chilling jokes. Days later, she broke ratings records with her Emmy-nominated comedy special Someday You'll Die . Now she has a show in the works called Unsettling , written by Jamie Lee, about two childless women who decide to raise their children together. In it, she ponders her compulsion to say the unspeakable, explains why she doesn't want kids, and offers her condolences to Tom Brady. And then there are those big awards shows she'd love to host…

DEADLINE: You've been doing this for 20 years, but this double hit of The Roast of Tom Brady and your Max special Someday You'll Die, coming out within days of each other, really made you famous.
NIKKI GLASER: It all came together perfectly and I wish I could say that I planned it that way because I wish I was that deliberate about my career and planning and doing Taylor Swift Easter egg-type things because I admire how she works, but it’s just pure coincidence and sometimes it just works out that way. But when you work as much as I do, I don’t think it’s even a coincidence that things just get double-booked.
DEADLINE: The show you're working on now, Unsettling, about two childless women, seems so timely, as does your special. You talk about not having children, and now we have JD Vance talking about "a bunch of childless cat ladies living miserable lives."
