Glaser Loses Grammy Laugh

Nikki Glaser had an outstanding year, so a minor setback like not winning a Grammy wouldn’t dampen her spirit.

She wasn’t overlooked for the Best Gospel Album award, as she pointed out to Zuri Hall during Live From TopMob: Grammys on February 2, live from the red carpet outside Crypto.com Arena.

Glaser, who was nominated for the first time in the Best Comedy Album category, admitted that he had lost. He jokingly noted that they had given the award to Dave Chappelle instead.

Though apparently she only found out by chance. (See the whole list of 2025 Grammy winners.)

She clarified that there won’t be a formal event like what’s typically shown on TV, so she’s taking care of her hair and makeup in preparation. She added that she hadn’t received any messages about the outcome prior to this point. Instead, a random person in her life mentioned that Dave Chappelle had won again. When she asked what he was referring to, no one from her team had shared the news with her. They seem to prefer her finding out the bad news on her own rather than telling her directly.

So that makes six career Grammy wins for Chappelle and for Glaser…

Who cares, she’s now a Grammy nominee, just like Taylor Swift!

Glazer exclaimed, “Wow, that truly is fantastic,” when Hall noted they were now equals at the Grammys.

 

The comedian went on, mimicking 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift with a pile of trophies in hand, “She’s always flaunting them around,” he said, “and it seems I can’t even grab one. Yet, just being in the same space as these incredibly gifted individuals, who excel in ways that I don’t, is a remarkable feeling. It’s astonishing to think a comedian could be Grammy-nominated. However, my ambition has grown; I aim to be nominated again, for the chance to attend the Grammys. This isn’t an easy pass to secure; I had to plead just to be allowed in this year.

Last month, Glaser received many praises for her hosting role at the Golden Globes. Typically, instead of basking in the accolades, she found an opportunity to make fun of herself.

“It is so exciting that I’m here,” she added, “and I don’t have to do anything!”

At the Globes event, Glaser admitted the immense pressure he felt. He lamented that he didn’t have a chance to mingle with celebrities because he was too busy working. Instead of enjoying the show, he was preoccupied with backstage responsibilities like quick costume changes. This time around, however, he’s looking forward to merely sitting and taking it all in, as if he’s attending the best concert of his life.

This year’s lineup of performing artists is truly extraordinary, she commented, expressing excitement as she stumbled upon a post of Gracie Abrams preparing to attend the Grammys on Instagram. Additionally, she mentioned that her list of must-see acts also includes nominees for Best New Artist, such as Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, and SZA, who is nominated in the category of Best R&B Performance for “Saturn.

Instead of performing, Swift is presenting, as Glaser explained, this means I will have the opportunity to listen to her speak eloquently and poetically.
