Welcome to My First Apartment! Whether it's your first studio, a four-bedroom deep in the city shared with a handful of roommates, or even an entire house (lucky you!), there's something special about moving into the first place that's truly your own. In this series, we'll showcase actors, artists, entrepreneurs, and beyond—asking them to revisit that oh-so-sweet nostalgia of newly-found freedom.
If you've laughed at something on television in the past three decades, there is a good chance Jon Glaser's fingers have been on it. It may have been at one of his sketches on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" or his ski-masked face on "Delocated." Or his stint as Hannah's "complicated" neighbor Laird Schlesinger on "Girls," or maybe his appearances as Councilman Jamm on "Parks and Recreation." Or maybe it was the heightened version of himself he plays on "Jon Glaser Loves Gear," his sportswear gadget-focused mockumentary, which premieres for its second season on truTV tonight (10:30 p.m. EST/9:30 p.m. CST).
Anyway, if there was one thing that made you laugh, it was probably Glaser's signature sense of absurdist humor. It's pretending not to give two sh*ts, but actually deeply, truly caring—which I think sounds like a great metaphor for his first Chicago apartment (this is Apartment Therapy, after all). Though it may not have looked like much or received that much TLC, in retrospect it reveals itself to have been a safe haven as Glaser made his comedic dreams come. Here, Glaser takes a whack at the My First Apartment questionnaire… and gets a little emotional in the process. (If you're a comedy nerd, buckle up!)
