Nikki Glaser recently showcased her comedic talents during a hosting gig where she attempted a unique bit that combined elements of the musical 'Wicked' and the religious drama 'Conclave.'
The resulting mashup, dubbed 'Glicked,' was certainly an ambitious endeavor. While the entertainment industry has seen successful releases like 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator II' coinciding, blending the whimsical world of 'Wicked' with the solemn setting of a conclave proved to be a daring move.
During the performance, Glaser donned a wand and a cardinal's hat, or perhaps even a pope's hat, as she belted out a rendition of 'You're gonna be Pope-ular.' The juxtaposition of these two vastly different themes added a touch of irreverence to the act.
However, the bit took an unexpected turn when Glaser, in a comedic fashion, received feedback from producers via her earpiece indicating that the number was not well-received. Despite the critique, Glaser's willingness to take risks and inject humor into her performance was commendable.
In a world where entertainment often plays it safe, Glaser's willingness to push boundaries and experiment with unconventional ideas is refreshing. While the 'Wicked' and 'Conclave' mashup may not have hit the mark, Glaser's boldness and comedic flair deserve recognition.
