Nikki Glaser: 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me!

From hosting HBO Max’s FBoy Island to her own eponymous podcast, Nikki Glaser has proved no topic is off limits, but there’s still a lot that fans wouldn’t know about her. Now, she’s exclusively revealing all to Us Weekly.

Everything We Know About ‘FBoy Island’ Season 2

The Welcome Home Nikki Glaser? personality, 38, got her start doing stand-up comedy before branching out via other scripted and reality TV show gigs.

“The real difference right out of the gate is that it’s a comedy. The part that I love so much about it is that I was able, as the host, to bring a comedic voice to the show,” Glaser exclusively told Us in July 2021 of the HBO Max dating series, which began airing its second season earlier this month. “The women will get to date 24 men — 12 nice guys hoping to find The One and 12 self-proclaimed FBoys hoping to win some money.”

She added at the time: “We watch these shows and we laugh amongst each other, and we laugh with the people we’re watching them with. We make fun of it, but the shows rarely make fun of themselves or acknowledge the fact that what’s happening is hilarious. I was able to do that as the host of the show and the people I made the show with were down to, kind of, change the format.”
