Shannon Glaser is a supporting character in Big Mouth. She is the unfaithful ex-wife of Greg Glaser and the mother of Jessi Glaser and ex aunt in law of Jessi's male cousin and ex sister in law of Greg's younger sister and daughter of a nurse. She first appeared in "Ejaculation". She is voiced by Jessica Chaffin.
Biography[]
Shannon married Greg Glaser and she gave birth to Jessi Glaser. A few years into Jessi's life, when as he slipped into marijuana abuse, Shannon began to lose interest in Greg. She soon had a "sexual awakening" and started getting romantically involved with Cantor Dina Reznick. She kept on losing affection for Greg until the beginning of the series.
Shannon first appears in Everybody Bleeds, wherein she helps Jessi deal with her first menstrual cycle. Shortly after Jessi meets Connie the Hormone Monstress for the first time, she comes back to check on Jessi, but Jessi yells at Shannon.
She later appears Sleepover A Harrowing Ordeal of Emotional Brutality, when she asking Jessi if she wants to cancel the sleepover, seemingly not trusting Greg. Jessi declines the offer to cancel it and Shannon goes on what was most likely a date with Cantor Dina.
Her next appearance is in Girls Are Horny Too, when she is going bra shopping with Jessi. Inspired by a book she read, Jessi wants to get a red bra, one that Shannon did not feel Jessi is ready for, but she is ashamed into buying it.
During the episode The Head Push, Jessi calls Nick to see if she can go to his house, because Shannon and Greg are arguing.
Her fourth and final appearance is in I Survived Jessi's Bat Mitzvah. Shannon and Greg are arguing over the setting up of the bat mitzvah. When Jessi confronts her and asks her and Greg to stop arguing, she denies that they are arguing, saying that they are "discussing the logistics for the best day of your (Jessi's) life". Jessi gets upset and Shannon tries to calm her down.

When Cantor Dina is finished with her song, she and Shannon begin to hug in an intimate manner, making Jessi suspicious. When the two finally separate, they look at each other in a loving way. When Coach Steve demonstrates his incompetence, Shannon begins to complain to Greg about his choices for the bat mitzvah.
Jessi confronting Shannon
After seeing Shannon and Cantor Dina engaging in banter, Jessi can't take it anymore. She pulls Shannon aside and confronts her about her affair with Cantor Dina, when she asks if she is lesbian, Shannon says she is still figuring things out.
Later on the stage, Shannon tries to talk to Jessi from the microphone. Greg comes and tries to talk on the microphone but Shannon tries to keep him from it. Coach Steve gives him the second microphone and he talks to Jessi. Greg starts getting curt with Shannon and Jessi and they end up arguing in front of everyone.
Jessi's parents eventually separate, with Greg moving to the basement and Shannon resuming her affair with Dina, which greatly affects their daughter to the point where both parents try to deal with Jessi running away, stealing and getting high with Greg's marijuana, which gets him kicked out of the house, much to Jessi's heartbreak. Shannon later decides to send Jessi to a therapist to help her resolve her issues. After a run in with Kitty, Jessi, who decides that depression and anger are not the answer, makes up with Shannon and agrees to see a therapist. Shannon's relationship with Dina continues until Dina dumps her since the latter wants to be single to go on a cruise, much to Shannon's heartbreak.
In Super Mouth, Jessi finds out that her mother is going to move both of them to the city and that she wants to try BDSM there. Jessi at first protests but upon realizing that her mother has made up her mind she tries to accept her situation.
In Cafeteria Girls, Shannon is over the moon during Jessi's first day of school at Darlington Pierce School, where Shannon is convinced that said school will grant her daughter a great future even though her daughter asks her to lower the expectations since she was nervous but Shannon dismisses it and says that she shouldn't be nervous about excellence.
However, things take a turn for the worse when Shannon finds out that her daughter skipped school for a week since Jessi was too overwhelmed by the advanced school work she had to do, causing her to fall into depression again, and was dating Michelangelo (the latter Shannon never found out about).
In The Funeral, Shannon and Jessi attend Andrew's grandfather's funeral, where Shannon and Greg have a talk and the first announces to Jessi that she was going to stay with her father (and his new girlfriend), meaning that Jessi could go back to live her normal life, even though the decision greatly pained Shannon.
