Nikki Glaser, a 2006 Kansas University graduate, took the stage on “Conan” Tuesday night, performing a stand-up routine that hit on all the big topics: the perils of living at home, the perils of pregnancy scares and the perils of being broke.

A few years removed from appearing on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” she’s set to debut a new show on MTV in January with fellow comedienne Sara Schaefer called “The Nikki and Sara Show.”

The pair has a popular podcast called “You Had to Be There.” The MTV program is said to be part stand-up, part sketch comedy and part interviews.

They hit it big when they released a video last year imploring Justin Timberlake to make music again.

The New York Times described “You Had to Be There” thusly:

Most podcasts, it’s true, are hosted
by people who at least vaguely know
each other. But when “You Had to Be
There” made its debut in early 2011,
Glaser and Schaefer’s burgeoning
relationship became a big part of the
draw. And they got to know each other
quickly. They filled episodes with
conversations about the death of
Schaefer’s mother, Glaser’s treatment
for an eating disorder, various
relationship woes and their love of
Beyoncé. Talking about the gritty
truth allowed them to be earnest and
hilarious, and it made the podcast
intimate. Now each “You Had to Be
There” episode starts with Schaefer
and Glaser catching each other up on
their lives before welcoming a guest,
usually one of their comedian friends,
to comment on the duo’s recent
adventures.
