NIKKI Glaser took to the stage as Golden Globes host for the 2025 ceremony, but the funny girl has been in comedy for years.
Well known for her appearances in the Comedy Central roasts, here’s what we know about her and her love life.
Nicole Rene Glaser was born in Ohio on June 1, 1984, making her 38-years-old as of January 2025.
She is an American stand-up comedian and actress, and is a host on podcast, radio, and TV.
She started performing stand-up at the age of 18 and then got her big break on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2009 – and it was all thanks to Paul Abdul canceling her appearance.
After appearing as a last-minute replacement, Nikki went on to bag herself a role on NBC series Last Comic Standing.
She paired up with Sara Schaefer in 2013, for comedy show Nicki & Sara Live,
From there, she was given her own TV show – Not Safe With Nikki Glaser – which premiered on Comedy Central on February 9, 2016.
Since then she’s gone from strength to strength appearing on Dancing With The Stars in 2018, where she was first to be eliminated, and The Masked Singer in 2022, performing as Snowstorm.
The same year, the actress starred in reality show Welcome Home Nikki Glaser? on E!
From 2021-2023 she hosted FBoy Island, and presented Lovers And Liars in 2024.
The comedian has also acted in movies alongside fellow funny woman Amy Schumer, notably in Trainwreck in 2015 and I Feel Pretty in 2018.
Nikki is well known for her appearances on several Comedy Central roasts.
She has participated in the roasts of Rob Lowe (2016), Bruce Willis (2018), Alec Baldwin (2019), and Tom Brady (2024).
In January 2025, Nikki hosted the 82nd Golden Globes ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
Chris Convoy is a producer who’s worked on awards shows such as the MTV Video Music Awards and Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
He also produced his girlfriend’s 2016 reality show Not Safe With Nikki Glaser and her 2024 standup special Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die.
In addition to collaborating with Glaser, he’s produced two Mark Twain specials — one for Adam Sandler and another for Dave Chapelle.
Chris and Nikki have been on-and-off for more than a decade.
Their breakups have lasted from a couple of days to around three years.
She told Bill Maher on a September 2024 episode of his Club Random podcast that she is as “good as ever” with her beau.
Nikki said: “I had a breakthrough recently with him where we were kind of maybe gonna go our separate ways, and then I just stopped.
“…[It]t’s so basic, but I just realized, like, no one I’m fantasizing about maybe replacing him with — not even a real person I’m thinking of — no one’s gonna be perfect … and we’ve just been so good ever since.”
Nikki and Chris came into each other’s lives in 2013.
Nikki said in a 2022 interview: “It was my first TV show and he was a producer on the show and he was from St. Louis, where I was from.
“I just quit drinking, like, a year before that and I didn’t want to have any relationships with people who were heavy drinkers.”
They’re in couple’s therapy, which they started going to in 2022 for Nikki’s reality show Welcome Home Nikki Glaser?
She also told Bill: “We now go every week with the same therapist.
“…I recommend it so much …No matter what, we always leave so in love with each other, even if [our problems are] not resolved.
“Because we just said the truth and we both somehow are able to see each other’s sides of things.”
The comedian used her hosting gig to take aim at several of the entertainment trends of the moment.
Nikki made fun of Timothée Chalamet as well as the Wicked movie, to name a few.
She commented on his role as Bob Dylan, joking: “Timothée, you were so good in A Complete Unknown.
“In fact, I actually read that your singing voice was so accurate that even Bob Dylan admitted that it was absolutely horrible.”
She also quipped about Wicked: “We can’t talk about movies tonight without talking about Wicked.
“I did not know much about Wicked going into this year because I had friends in high school.”
