My Take
What I admire about Jon Glaser is his commitment to comedy on his own terms. Years of writing and performing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien gave him a craftsman's discipline, but it's the absurdist worlds he built himself, like Delocated and Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter, that reveal his real voice. He's never chased mainstream fame; instead he keeps making the strange, specific stuff that delights people who pay attention. That's a rarer and braver path than it looks, and I think it earns him a deeper, longer-lasting loyalty than a quick viral hit ever could.
