Nikki Glaser Knows She Has A 'Reputation For Being Mean,' But Used Timothée Chalamet And Benny Blanco To Explain Why That's Not The Case
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Nikki Glaser's comedy rise has continued to be a dynamic one. This year she took on hosting duties for the Golden Globes as part of the 2025 TV premiere list, and though it was a well-received performance, it didn't shake the present unfriendly perception that's been following her. That public impression likely took root while she participated in a variety of roasts, but especially during Tom Brady's night and the aftermath that followed. Now the comedian is trying to shake the vibe by using her Timothée Chalamet and Benny Blanco jokes to showcase why not. Glaser spoke with THR and addressed the discourse about her comedic stylings, then actively dismantled it. She led with jokes from the Globes opening, and dove into her succinct presentation. First, she shared that the rising Bob Dylan actor got wind he'd be a part of the monologue and, in turn, wanted to avoid the ribbing. When the Trainwreck actress heard, she understood on multiple levels–she said: That got back to him, and he was just going to skip my monologue and get there late, just so he didn't have to deal with it. I get it, because he's there with his girlfriend who is already the subject of so many jokes. He shouldn't have to sit there if I'm going to make fun of something about him — it's like his night. So, I don't begrudge him doing that. It really speaks to how not mean she is when prepping her work. Today's standup landscape is trickier than ever, and for her to lead as human first, jokester second is (in my opinion) how to shred any past perceptions. It probably didn't hurt during her preparations that she sought advice from Gervais, among other past Globe hosts. The I Feel Pretty alum expanded by saying that she loves Chalamet, and made sure that he felt comfortable to partake in the whole evening. She did this by reaching out to his agent, reassuring the duo that the coming razz would only be in good fun: I love Timothée! I'm not telling you the jokes, but I promise the jokes are only uplifting him and saying, 'I'm a huge fan.' I would never do anything to ruin his night! It's really cool that she ensured the comfort level of one of her subjects and then had so much success with him on air. Again, because of her prep, everyone had a great lighthearted evening. In my opinion, Glaser taking the time to do that levels up her game; it reveals so much about her in a positive way. After sharing the Chalamet bit, the Someday You'll Die comedian had only one prompt about Blanco and Selena Gomez, that felt off. The quip dealt with Gomez's nominations and Blanco's luckiness being engaged to the triple threat. The 2025 host stated that she texted Blanco about the zinger, and both he and Only Murders in the Building star deemed it Globe-worthy. Glaser shared: That joke didn't actually come from a mean place. I felt like it was OK for me at least to say. Another instance of not mean girl behavior. Even though the light roast was a bit toastier than the rest, she openly addressed it. With both jokes landing during the big night, along with many others, Glaser walked away with largely high praise. Her bits were succinct and just right, especially knowing she avoided the Lively-Baldoni lawsuit and left spicier jokes cut from the Globes monologue. However you feel about Glaser and her MO, you've got to admit, this Chalamet, Blanco and Gomez evidence proves a great deal about her. It'll be interesting to watch how her career expands and whether or not this rep will change. If you're on the fence of the funnywoman, here are some great Nikki Glaser project to watch to help you decide.

Amy Schumer speaks out about impact of new weight loss medication after revealing Ozempic left her ‘bedridden'
Amy Schumer has provided fans with a comical update on her weight loss journey. The I Feel Pretty star said she tried Ozempic a few years ago and the side effects left her 'bedridden'. Ozempic, a type of medication often prescribed to people with type 2 diabetes, is known to have all sorts of side effects. Often people can react in different ways, but the drug can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain, according to Ozempic's website. For Schumer, she tried it almost three years ago and despite losing 30 pounds, it made her 'so sick'. 'I have this gene, GDF15, which makes you extremely prone to nausea, which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy,' the 45-year-old said on The Howard Stern Show in January. 'So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was like, bedridden. I was like, vomiting — and then you have no energy. But other people take it and they're all good. God bless them.' 'I tried it and I was vomiting and I'm in bed and my son's like, 'Can you play tag?' I'm like, 'I can't.' I was shrivelling,' she added. 'I couldn't lift my head off the pillow, so what's the point?' Now, as well as Ozempic, the film star has opened up about her Mounjaro journey too, which happens to be available via the NHS for certain individuals. Ozempic isn't approved for weight loss; however, semaglutide is under the name Wegovy. Mounjaro is a weekly injection consisting of tirzepatide. It is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes. However, according to ASDA Online Doctor, it is also licensed for weight loss and manufactured by Eli Lilly.

Taking to Instagram last week (9 April), she said in a video: "Hey, Amy here. I just wanted to say, again, I'm loving being on Mounjaro... am I saying that right? Mounjaro?" "I haven't found it's affected anything, my meals are still very satisfying, and they give me a lot of energy," she said while eating food from a tiny bowl. Schumer then joked that she was 'full' and started to laugh about it. The comments section was filled with many laughing emojis. The comedian had previously opened up about her experience on Mounjaro, adding that it's 'been great'. Adding that the drug is widely available in the US, she continued: "It's not covered by insurance unless you have diabetes or severe obesity, which most of the internet thinks I have, but I'm having a really good experience with it. "I wanted to keep it real with you about that."

Amy Schumer Lists Her 200-Year-Old Brooklyn Townhouse for $14 Million
In early 2022 Amy Schumer hoisted her Manhattan penthouse on the market and picked up a renovated and restored 19th-century townhouse in Brooklyn. Fast forward almost three years, and the comedian and actress has decided to pull up stakes again and return to the Upper West Side, hoisting her Federal-style residence in historic Brooklyn Heights up for sale at $14 million. Adam Modlin of Modlin Group and Karen and Kyle Talbott of Corcoran Group hold the listing. Records show The Kinda Pregnant and I Feel Pretty star and her chef husband Chris Fischer acquired the early 1800s property in summer 2022 for nearly $12.3 million and then customized it to suit their personal tastes. More from Robb Report Loro Piana's First Exhibition Just Opened at Shanghai's Pudong Museum A Restored L.A. Home by Acclaimed Architects Buff & Hensman Hits the Market for $2.6 Million 'The Teams Are Terrified:' How Restaurants Are Coping With Trump's Immigration Policies Notably featured as the Castorini family's home in the 1987 Oscar-winning film Moonstruck starring Cher and Nicolas Cage, the brick and mansard-roof structure clocks in at 26 feet wide and has four (and potentially five) bedrooms and four baths spread across a little more than 5,500 square feet on a total of five levels donning a whopping total of 30 windows for an abundance of natural light. Standing out on the first floor is a kitchen outfitted with an exposed beam ceiling, wide-plank floors, vintage wood cabinetry, a marble-topped island, top-tier Gaggenau and Lacanche appliances, a butler's pantry with a zinc bar sink, and a breakfast nook. An adjacent wood-paneled bedroom-turned-library connects to a mudroom, which opens to a Michael Van Valkenburgh-landscaped backyard that currently holds a turf-clad play area but could easily be repurposed as a private gated parking space. The main entrance on the second level leads to a duo of fireside parlors divided by large pocketing doors, plus a powder room and access to an iron-railed terrace with steps descending to the backyard. A grand primary suite occupying the entire third floor has a corner bedroom warmed by an original fireplace, as well as dressing and sitting rooms, an office, and a marble bath flaunting another fireplace, dual vanities, a vintage clawfoot soaking tub, and a floating glass-encased shower. Three more bedrooms that share a penny-tiled bath can be found on the top floor, along with a Miele washer and dryer. Rounding it all out in style is the basement, which hosts a custom wine cellar, an excavated gym, and full laundry facilities. Per The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing, the New York native has decided to sell because she and her husband want to be closer to their 5-year-old son's school in Manhattan. 'He got into a good school,' she said, 'and we're too lazy to commute 45 minutes to take our son to school every day.'Best of Robb Report The 10 Priciest Neighborhoods in America (And How They Got to Be That Way) In Pictures: Most Expensive Properties Click here to read the full article.

Kinda Pregnant review – Amy Schumer's Netflix comedy is kinda disappointing
Let me be clear: I am always rooting for Amy Schumer, though sometimes she makes it difficult. When she is good, she is great – and, for the most part, that was on Inside Amy Schumer, her zeitgeist-y Comedy Central sketch show that ran from 2013-2016. Schumer's brand of comedy – bawdy, self-deprecating, pointing to overarching sexism while skewering certain types of white women – was both native to and critical of the pop feminist era, your oversharing best friend during the personal essay boom. For better and, at least on the big screen, for worse, Schumer's sensibility has remained there. Kinda Pregnant, her new film at Netflix, plays the hits Schumer is known for – shameless physical comedy, frank discussion of bodies, brash refusal to play good girl – but feels stuck in the past, unable to generate new sparks. Written by Schumer and Julie Paiva and directed by Tyler Spindel, Kinda Pregnant continues a string of underwhelming Hollywood vehicles since 2015's Trainwrecked that have hamstrung Schumer's talent with sub-par writing (2018's I Feel Pretty) or plotting (2017's Snatched). This time, the issue is more existential: though it tries – there's pratfall and physical gags aplenty – there's just not that much funny to be found here. If the 2022 reboot of Inside Amy Schumer showed the limits of its topical comedy post-Trump, then Kinda Pregnant evinces the dead end of this particular style of comic fuck-up. It doesn't help that the 100-minute film has the stale flavor of Netflix content: overlit, undercooked, checking off boxes by sticking a bunch of funny people together and hoping for the best. The setup should be, um, fertile ground for Schumer, pregnancy and childbirth being states that warp the female body – the site of her most ruthless and revealing jokes – freighted with the cultural scripts she loves to flout. Schumer herself is no stranger to pregnancy fare, having documented her own arduous pregnancy in the 2020 docuseries Expecting Amy and mined its ribald absurdities for the 2019 standup special Growing. Here, she plays the other side of child-free/parent friend divide (a rich topic!) as Lainy, an uncensored and increasingly unhinged Brooklyn schoolteacher in an oddly affordable Williamsburg who has long been desperate to start a family. In her early 40s and four years deep in a relationship with Dave (Damon Wayans Jr), details unknown besides being a cad, she believes she's on the precipice of an engagement and thus her dreams. It all blows up spectacularly and, for the viewer, tiresomely – I appreciate an attempt to revive the old studio comedy but, again, pratfall too aplenty – at an inopportune time. A day after being so desperate for a ring she digs for it in a cake, Lainy learns her forever best friend Kate (Jillian Bell) is pregnant. Besieged by jealousy – Schumer, as usual, is adept at playing a woman barging through the 'I'm so excited for you' script while not really meaning it – Lainy entertains a flight of fancy: what if she just pretended she was pregnant with a fake bump? The world becomes an Elf-esque oyster, all cooing and congratulations and gifted seats on the subway. And because this movie entertains a fluid sense of magical realism and Brooklyn-as-small town, a friendship with the actually pregnant Megan (Brianne Howey), a young mom desperate to connect over the horrors and loneliness of the endeavor, whose brother just so happens to be the guy Lainy flirted with at the coffee shop (Will Forte). Hijinks ensue with a strenuous physical edge – Kinda Pregnant derives a good bulk of its humor from Schumer stuffing a variety of objects under her shirt when caught unawares, or hiding the ruse from various parties. There are intriguing nuggets here: the way society patronizes pregnant women (and now criminalizes, though that's smartly not mentioned; implication is enough), the crazy-making insecurities of falling behind one's friends, how jealousy commingles with joy. Bell is particularly good as the film's voice of reason, though still one throwing a joint baby shower with the worst parody of gen Z New Jerseyans I have seen in Shirley (Lizze Broadway) and her backwards-hat bro husband Rawn (Alex Moffat). Ironically for a comedy so bent on the outrageous, as epitomized by Kiwi comedian Urzila Carlson's vaping school counsellor, Kinda Pregnant finds its groove in the more grounded and honest. The tiptoeing around big changes in one's best friendship, the tension between joy and dread, the role of a friend when another is going through something irrevocable all get mentions that hint at something sharper and stickier. But what texture exists gets steamrolled by the loud and extreme. Schumer's style – force and exaggeration, pushing boundaries to sometimes hilarious ends – may have reached its limit. Kinda Pregnant is now available on Netflix

Amy Schumer wants to make a comedy with Kim Kardashian: 'Please let that happen'
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals. Amy Schumer wants to get in on Kim Kardashian's acting era. While promoting her new Netflix film Kinda Pregnant, Schumer told Yahoo Entertainment she "absolutely" wants to do a comedy with the reality star-turned-actress. "Please let that happen," Schumer said. "I have a little bit of hope that might happen. I got to do a sketch with [Kim] on SNL, and it was so fun." Kardashian hosted Saturday Night Live in October 2021, and the Trainwreck star appeared in a sketch spoofing The Bachelorette. "It was hard not to laugh," Schumer recalled, saying Kardashian "killed it." "It's kind of annoying when someone like that [is so funny], and it's not their thing," Schumer joked. "You're like, 'I have been working on this for 20 years, but OK!'" The two are friends, and Schumer even ran a joke she wrote into the Kinda Pregnant script by the Skims founder, since it pokes fun at her famous family. In the film, Schumer reads a kid a tabloid instead of a bedtime story and says, "There once was a family of beautiful princesses called the Kardashians and they lived in a palace that their dad bought them by defending a murderer." Kardashian approved the line. In the new Netflix comedy, which Schumer co-wrote with Julie Paiva, the actress plays Lainy, a single woman who is jealous of her best friend's pregnancy, so she wears a fake baby bump. While Lainy loves the attention she's getting for being pregnant, she accidentally meets the man of her dreams. It's Schumer's first starring role in a film since I Feel Pretty in 2018. She said she pulled from her real life in "every possible way, with each of the characters." "I really related to the character Megan, who is just struggling and is annoyed with her husband and trying to deal with [being pregnant]. I identified with Jillian [Bell's character] in like, 'I'm having a good thing happen to me [being pregnant] and I know it might maybe hard, and you might be jealous about it.' I've had that moment," Schumer explained. "I've also been the friend who's like [my character] in the movie, where it's like, 'Everyone's getting pregnant and having babies except for me.'" The comedian said she tapped into experiences from her own pregnancy, specifically wanting to show "the stuff they don't tell you about." "Some of the symptoms, the physical symptoms that happen, and the different feelings that you're having,' she said. 'The treatment, and also the expectation that your body's a temple and everything should be just for the baby and you're not a person anymore, you're just a carrier." Stream on Netflix on Feb. 5.
