On the “Fathering Excellence” podcast, E.J. Glaser revealed that he managed to make a living as a musician for a few years but confessed, “I didn’t have the confidence that my daughter has about trying to pursue a career in entertainment.” The Glasers used to live in Cincinnati, but when Nikki Glaser was 6 years old, E.J. got a job in St. Louis working as the Director of Marketing for Charter Communications. His salary was decent enough that Julie Glaser was able to stay home and care for Nikki and her sister, Lauren.

Now that E.J. is semi-retired, he’s able to devote more time to making music again; he’s even part of a musical trio called Glaze and The Moonkings. He and Nikki have also jammed together on “Welcome Home Nikki Glaser?” They both played guitar and sang an obscene version of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s song “Shallow,” swapping its original words with lyrics about Nikki hearing her parents having sex. Nikki told Revue that making music with her dad during the pandemic inspired her to pursue a side career as a singer, and she proved that she has what it takes by finishing third on “The Masked Singer.” In a 2021 interview with The New York Times, E.J. revealed that he’s been aware of his daughter’s other talent for a long time, saying, “I’ve tried to get her to sing with me ever since she was a small child.”
