In July, Nikki embarked on her nationwide comedy tour, "One Night with Nikki Glaser,” taking her brand of humor to cities far and wide. Simultaneously, she ventured into the realm of reality television by hosting HBO Max's innovative reality dating series, "FBOY Island."

Nikki has consistently pushed boundaries in her career. She previously hosted "You Up with Nikki Glaser," a live daily morning show on SiriusXM via Comedy Central, from February 2018 to October 2020.
