Speaking to Deadline the morning of the nominations, Glaser told Deadline about the overnight change in her life following the Netflix roast, her new series Unsettling in development at Amazon, her interest in hosting awards shows, and much more.
Of Unsettling, which she will executive produce and direct opposite fellow comedian Jamie Lee, Glaser said, "I just love the people who are involved. They make some of the funniest, [most] heartwarming TV shows out there, and I'm so excited to continue doing it."
Glaser added that the show is "slow to get going, so it feels like it's something that's going to happen, but you never know." A half-hour, single-camera comedy about two childless best friends in their 30s who decide to "have" a baby together and navigate their lives as brand new platonic co-parents, the show hails from Warner Bros. TV, Bill Lawrence's Doozer Productions and Amazon MGM Studios.
