- Why it matters: Glaser’s frank talk about cosmetic work normalizes open discussion of beauty standards
Nikki Glaser is leaning into self-deprecation ahead of hosting the 2026 Golden Globes on January 11. In a new interview, the 41-year-old comic roasted her own cosmetic tweaks and the extremes she takes to glow on the red carpet.
Jokes About Her Own Filler
While riffing on what future aliens might uncover, Glaser told comedian Mary Beth Barone, “They’ll find the filler on my skull. It will last longer than the bones probably.” The line drew laughs and underscored her willingness to target herself before skewering Hollywood.
Spray-Tan “Concoction” Details
Glaser also dished on her pre-show tanning routine:
- She requests the darkest shade her spray tanner offers
- The technician mixes a “special concoction” because standard shades are “never enough”
- Glaser then paints additional color on top of the spray tan for extra depth
“I go literally the darkest that my spray tanner has ever gone,” she said. “She has a special concoction for me because it’s never enough and then I paint on top of it because it’s still never enough.”
Past Comments on Future Facelift
This isn’t the first time Glaser has gone public about going under the knife. On a March 2025 episode of The Tonight Show, she told host Jimmy Fallon her next step is a facelift.
“Wait till the facelift,” she quipped after Fallon complimented her looks. “That’s coming. August 2026. I’m gonna do it. I have no problem with that.”
She joked about covering the work: “You’ve got to do it subtly, so they go, ‘What’s she doing?’ and you can just go, ‘Just meditating more. I’m doing the type of meditation that removes your eyelid skin.'”
Why She Calls Surgery “a Wise Investment”
Glaser defended spending on appearance, comparing it to education:
- “There’s kind of a stigma around getting face work or investing in your beauty and doing all these procedures”
- She views the stigma as similar to someone asking, “Why don’t you love the brain you were born with? Why did you pay thousands of dollars to that institution?”
- “People treat you better when you’re hotter. It’s just a fact. It’s a sad fact of life.”
Past Globes Jab at Plastic Surgery
During her 2025 hosting stint, Glaser teased the star-studded crowd about Hollywood’s cosmetic enhancements:
- “I love where you put your cheekbones”
- “I too drink a lot of water. I don’t judge. I do it now too”
- “I love how meditating removes your eyelids – really convenient,” referencing the popular blepharoplasty procedure
The bit landed with both laughter and cringes, proving she’s ready to double down when she retakes the stage next month.
Key Takeaways
- Glaser’s candid comments continue to blur the line between personal admission and punchline
- Her openness about future procedures sets the stage for more beauty-industry jokes at the upcoming Globes
- Expect the comedian to mine her own routines for material while roasting Hollywood’s cosmetic culture
