Nikki Glaser is an American comedian who rose to prominence for her razor-sharp performances on various roasts. Those comedic efforts propelled her to new heights, as she has hosted several prominent awards ceremonies in entertainment, including the Golden Globes.
In the latest news about the esteemed joke writer, Nikki Glaser recently spoke to a correspondent with Variety at the Time100 Gala on the potential of a Leonardo DiCaprio roast. While she seemed overtly excited about participating, she also shared that she thought it would be a mistake on Leo’s part, who is known for being notoriously tight-lipped about his private life:
“Oh, I don’t think he should do one of those. He doesn’t need to. I mean, it would be amazing and I’d love to do it, but no. He should…but he shouldn’t. If I were anyone in his camp, I’d say, ‘Don’t ever do that.’ Maybe if he was donating [the proceeds] to climate change or something. I could see him doing that. But yeah, that’s one I would absolutely sign up for.”
Nikki Glaser and Leonardo DiCaprio also made news recently based on the aftermath of a joke she told while hosting the most recent Golden Globes.

Interestingly, after Nikki Glaser shared the private response shared by Leonardo DiCaprio about her pasta quip, the story soon went viral. At the time Glaser shared her thoughts on sharing headlines and focus with such an esteemed A-lister:
“I try to avoid people’s opinions when something’s dropping. But I opened my phone earlier and [the pasta thank you basket] was like the first three posts. I was like, ‘Ahh!’ Seeing my face next to Leo’s on places like Variety and US Weekly is kind of fun, I have to say.”
In the time since, the comedian has admittedly changed her tune, as evidenced by an exclusive conversation she had with E! News at the 2026 TIME100 Gala:
“Honestly the amount of press it got, I was a little embarrassed. Like, ‘Oh, he’s gonna think that I’m just bragging about it.’”
She added:
“I was just trying to come up with a funny story for Fallon. I only have a few.”
Nikki Glaser also had a recent wardrobe malfunction during her Live with Kelly and Mark appearance on April 22, although she managed to laugh it off and push forward masterfully with the help of hosts Ripa and Consuelos.
