Chris Convy, the TV producer who’s been in a romantic relationship with Nikki Glaser — on and off, anyway — for the past 10 years, has a pretty simple rule for being ridiculed in her comedy routines. He’s all good as long as the audience is laughing.

“My boyfriend's so cool,” Glaser told People last week at the American Music Awards. “He's given me permission. He said, ‘You can talk about anything on stage about me as long as it’s funny. The second it isn’t, if it bombs, then we have an issue. If you’re just venting up there just to get it off your chest and embarrass me, not good, but if you’re up there and you’re making a solid joke, you can do whatever you want.’”

Using jokes as a way to vent about their relationship isn’t strictly a hypothetical. Glaser told...

Gwyneth Paltrow has exposed Nikki Glaser for trying to bang her ex.

And the best part of this story is that Nikki is not denying that she repeatedly reached out to Ben Affleck in an effort to score a spot in the Batfleck’s bed.

That surprising revelation came during the latest episode of Gwyneth’s podcast.

During a conversation about the dating app Raya, Nikki surprised the Goop goddess by revealing her attempts to bang Ben.

Nikki Glaser says she was rebuffed by Ben Affleck

“When I used to be on Raya and he would come across, [I would give him a] very concentrated check mark ‘yes’ and, like, never [got] it back,” Glaser said.

Gwyneth dated Ben way back in the ’90s, so she obviously wasn’t upset about Nikki’s confession.

While you might be too busy scrolling on Tinder or Bumble, celebrities out there are looking for matches on the membership-based, exclusive dating app, Raya. And recently, Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow and comedian Nikki Glaser went straight to the juicy gossip part of the latter’s experience on the app.

Dropping the tea on the Goop podcast, Gwyneth Paltrow confronted Nikki Glaser for hoping to match with Paltrow’s ex-boyfriend Ben Affleck on Raya, followed by her desire to go wild on him. And guess what? While the comedian confessed to seeing Affleck on the dating app, she unfortunately never got to match with him.

After comedian Jo Koy previously bombed the 2024 Golden Globes with his cringe-worthy jokes and failed performance, it was rather gutsy of the award show to levy the responsibility on yet another comic in 2025. Yes, popular comedian Nikki Glaser hosted this year’s Golden Globes.

Renowned for her stand-up specials—Perfect (2016), Bangin’ (2019), and Roast of Tom Brady (2024), Nikki Glaser has taken the long road to the Golden Globes, as she delivered snippets of the material prepared for the event at more than 75 comedy clubs. And they all worked when she took the stage as the first solo female host in Golden Globes’ history. But before looking at those jokes, let’s see these five little facts about Nikki Glaser.

Nikki Glaser is turned on. That the comedian is, at full volume, discussing her level of arousal in a restaurant — she is “damp downstairs,” to be precise — is probably not surprising to anyone who has seen her four standup specials. In her most recent, Someday You’ll Die, Glaser extensively describes her boyfriend of 10 years, Chris Convy (who also produces Glaser’s work), blindfolding and restraining her while pretending to be a parade of different men coming in to… actually, like Glaser, feel free to use your imagination here.

Chris wasn't exactly helping, either. Sure, they had gotten back together after he, too, moved back to their mutual hometown, but Nikki wanted commitment....
