Everyone is familiar with the show where celebrities from different industries showcase their innate dancing talent on a national stage. Dancing with the Stars pairs up celebs with professional dancers who perform as a team. Each week, they have to come up with unique and innovative dance acts to win the hearts of judges and the audience. The couple who fails to do so will be eliminated.
Nikki Glaser was featured in the 27th season of the show where she was paired with Gleb Savchenko and performed a Salsa act with him in her first outing on the show. Unfortunately, her tenure was cut short, as she was eliminated after the first week. However, she was commended for her efforts and her willingness to explore opportunities outside the world of comedy.
2) FBoy Island
FBoy Island is a dating reality TV series that revolves around 3 women trying to find love from a pool of 24 men. Their task is to identify the men who are looking for serious relationships and separate them from the womanizers. The series first premiered on HBO Max in July 2021 and was hosted by Nikki Glaser.
Set on a beautiful tropical island, FBoy Island caters to the viewers' need for bubblegum entertainment. As the host of the show, Glaser provides structure to the chaos and guides the contestants through the unique challenges of the week. Her quick wit and sharp humor keep things interesting.
The show has spawned three seasons, a sequel, and also an Australian spin-off. Needless to say, fans of reality TV have a lot to look forward to.
3) Lovers and Liars
A recent addition to Nikki's repertoire, Lovers and Liars, is a sequel to FBoy Island that premiered on April 1, 2024, on The CW. It features three men and 24 women who join each other on a tropical island for a chance to fall in love and win $100,000. However, only 12 of the women are seeking love while the other 12 are just there to work their way up in the game and win the prize money.
The leading men are fan favorites from FBoy Island: Casey Johnson, a 26-year-old marketing executive from Nashville, Benedict Polizzi, a 32-year-old comedian from Indianapolis, and CJ Weathers, a 24-year-old basketball player from Dallas.
Just like in FBoy Island, Glaser hosts the show and attempts to break the ice, and also cool off the tension between the contestants. Her humor and delightful commentary make the show an entertaining watch.
Unfortunately, the show was prematurely canceled by the network before the finale, but all of its episodes are available to watch online.
4) Trainwreck
Released in 2015, Amy Schumer and Judd Apatow's creation, Trainwreck, has been hailed as a comedic revelation of the modern era by many critics. It portrays the story of a free-spirited and career-oriented Amy Townsend, who is afraid of commitments. As a result, promiscuity and casual relationships rule her life.
However, everything changes when she meets a nice guy named Aaron Conners, played by Bill Hader. After their first hookup, Aaron is persistent about going on a second date with Amy to her surprise. The innocent and earnest romance that unfolds changes the direction of the main character's life.
Nikki Glaser plays the role of Lisa, a friend of Amy's sister, who appears for only one scene, but that appearance is in itself worth the price of admission. Her character is a prude housewife, who sensationalizes everyday incidents into revolutionary tales. The scene plays out hilariously as Amy details her sexual history while everyone else in the room is left shocked.
Trainwreck is available to stream on Netflix.
