About Nikki Glaser

Nikki Rene Glaser was born June 1, 1984 in Cincinnati, Ohio and raised in the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood, Missouri — the youngest of two daughters in a Catholic family that became the source material for a generation of bits on body image, dating, sex education, and the gap between Midwest niceness and the kind of frankness her stand-up has built a career on. She attended Kirkwood High School and the University of Kansas, transferred to the University of Colorado Boulder, and started open-mics at the St. Louis Funny Bone while still in college. The first decade on the road ran through the standard comedy-circuit grid — Comedy Central Presents half-hour in 2009, Last Comic Standing semifinalist in 2010, a Comedy Central pilot called You're Whole with Sara Schaefer in 2013, the MTV pilot Nikki and Sara Live, and a steady accumulation of late-night spots on Conan, Letterman, and The Tonight Show. The 2014 Comedy Central roast of Justin Bieber was the first national-tier breakthrough — a set that the network ran in re-rotation for months and that put her on the regular roast circuit alongside Jeff Ross, Anthony Jeselnik, Pete Davidson, and Natasha Leggero. The Comedy Central daily-talk show Not Safe with Nikki Glaser ran for one season in 2016. The Sirius XM podcast You Up with Nikki Glaser launched on the Comedy Central channel in 2018 and became the daily morning anchor for the dating-and-sex-comedy persona that her stand-up has refined since — three hours of confessional radio that has run for thousands of episodes and is now distributed across the major podcast platforms. The MTV reality dating show FBoy Island launched on HBO Max in 2021 with Glaser as host; she hosted the Canadian spinoff for the W Network as well. The 2020 Comedy Central special Bangin' was the first hour-long taping that fully landed her stand-up reputation outside the late-night and roast circuit; the May 2024 Netflix special Someday You'll Die — the title pulled from her own ongoing anxiety-and-mortality material — is the special that the touring math finally locked into. The same Netflix is a Joke festival in May 2024 hosted the Tom Brady Roast at the Kia Forum in Inglewood; Glaser's five-minute set on Brady, the Patriots dynasty, Robert Kraft, and Bill Belichick was the most-quoted set of the night and ran in mainstream news coverage for weeks. In January 2025 she hosted the 82nd Golden Globe Awards solo — the first woman to host the ceremony without a co-host in its history — and the opening monologue ran ten and a half minutes covering everything from The Brutalist to Ozempic to Diddy. She lives in Los Angeles, dates the writer Chris Convy, and continues to record the Sirius XM podcast five days a week between tour stops.
