“We swapped 5 brunettes for one particular blonde (it was more affordable).”

Those people are just some of the taglines E! is using to encourage Glaser’s new clearly show, titled “Welcome Property Nikki Glaser?,” which premieres on May perhaps 1.

Basically, E! is recognizing that they’re no for a longer period dwelling to “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” (the spouse and children now has a new demonstrate at Hulu), and Glaser is leaning into her brand name of self-deprecating and carefree comedy.

“Welcome Residence Nikki Glaser?” will observe the stand-up comic as she uproots her quick-paced Hollywood lifestyle to shift again home to her tiny-town in St. Louis, likely on a journey of self discovery, even though hilariously showcasing her parents, childhood mates and even her ex-boyfriend.

E!’s advertising and marketing staff worked hand-in-hand with Glaser on the marketing campaign to assure the supplies were authentic to her comedic voice.

That explained, what will actually resonate with our viewers is the relatability of Nikki and her existence in St. Louis. … Each and every episode is like a actually fun hang with your best close friend.”

With E! in a time of transition, no extended leaning on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” which helped determine the cabler for so prolonged, the network thinks Glaser’s exhibit is the ideal healthy for its slate for a multitude of good reasons — a single remaining that she is a star on the increase. (For what it’s worth, E! did transform the Kardashian-Jenners into globe-renowned celebs, who turned Tv set stars at the community in 2007, prior to they parlayed their truth display into a complete-fledged empire.)

“E! is about celebrating pop lifestyle fandom and Nikki’s star is continuing to rise in the entertainment globe,” Bloom says. “Nikki also fits appropriate in with the other personalities on E!, who feel like pals and convey a dose of laughter and unapologetic viewpoint. E! has normally brought audiences into the world of famous people and ‘Welcome Dwelling Nikki Glaser?’ is a refreshing acquire on that structure. Nikki genuinely blurs the line between remaining well-known and being a supporter of Hollywood herself, so its aspirational however available.”
