Nikki Glaser Spills the Tea on Kylie Jenner's Reaction to Her Golden Globes Monologue

Nikki Glaser has revealed just how much Kylie Jenner's laughter meant to her during the Golden Globes this year. The renowned 40-year-old comedian, who hosted the prestigious event, shared her experience on a recent episode of "The Nikki Glaser Podcast," released on Tuesday, January 7.

As she recounted her time on stage during the event on January 5, Glaser admitted she hadn’t watched her monologue yet. "When I was up there, I wasn’t really absorbing," she said, reflecting on the chaos of live performance. Her boyfriend, Chris Convy, alongside her writing team members, Brian Frange and Sean O'Connor, offered candid insights about her performance from their vantage point.

Glaser expressed her nervousness about how the audience, particularly Jenner, reacted to her jokes. "I was scared to even ask. It matters to me too much," she stated, highlighting the significance of celebrity feedback. Jenner, who was at the show with Timothée Chalamet, received a playful jab from Glaser regarding the actor's facial hair, jokingly comparing it to "eyelashes" on his upper lip. The quip was a crowd favorite, earning cheers and laughs, including from Jenner herself.

The comedian further explained the unique challenges of performing in such an atmosphere. "It’s so hard to have a camera in your face cause all the cameras are in people’s faces," she said. "They don’t know when the joke is coming about them. They’re just aware that a camera's pointed at them."

Glaser also drew on her experience with Comedy Central Roasts, stating that the pressure can lead to a mental blackout when one's name appears on the prompter, making it tough to process the moment. She acknowledged that the stars might have been "terrified" of her jokes, given her reputation for roasting celebrities.

In a heartfelt moment, Glaser shared how Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson made a special effort to visit her dressing room after the show to congratulate her. "I hugged him before and after the show — which he didn’t need to do. He came back shortly after everyone else had left to celebrate,” she recalled, noting the supportive gesture in a star-studded event packed with pressure.

As the Golden Globes continue to be one of Hollywood's most glamorous nights, Glaser's blend of humor and authenticity not only entertained guests but also sparked engaging conversations among the stars. The event may have been glamorous, but underneath the glitz, the interplay of nerves and camaraderie made for memorable moments that only insiders like Glaser can truly share.
