Nikki Glaser Signs With WME as Her Comedy Career Continues to Soar

Comedian Nikki Glaser has signed with WME, joining the agency for representation in all areas after eight years with UTA.

The move comes as Glaser continues to build on a career that has reached new heights over the past two years. Once known primarily for her stand-up work, she has become one of the biggest names in comedy, with major projects across television, film and live entertainment.

Glaser currently has three Emmy nominations, including recognition for her Hulu special “Good Girl” and her work hosting the 83rd Golden Globe Awards.

Her career took a major step forward in 2024 following her widely praised performance on “The Roast of Tom Brady.” Soon after, her HBO special “Someday You’ll Die” became a major hit. It set a record for the biggest streaming comedy special premiere in HBO Max history and later received nominations and recognition from the Emmys, Grammys, Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. The special also won a WGA Award.

Glaser followed that success by making history in 2025 as the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo. She returned as host earlier this year, earning Emmy and WGA Award nominations for her second appearance. She is set to host the ceremony again in 2027, marking her third consecutive year in the role.

Her ambitions now extend well beyond stand-up. Glaser is set to star alongside Kim Kardashian in Netflix’s “The Fifth Wheel,” directed by Eva Longoria. She will also lend her voice to Netflix’s animated film “Steps,” starring alongside Amanda Seyfried, which is scheduled to premiere in November.

In addition, Glaser is developing several major film projects. She will co-write, produce and star in an original comedy inspired by the classic game MASH for Paramount Pictures. She is also set to star in, co-write and produce a new romantic comedy for Universal Pictures, with Judd Apatow producing.

While her film and television career continues to expand, Glaser remains focused on stand-up. She is currently traveling across North America and Europe with her “The Stunning Tour.”

The WME signing marks another milestone for Glaser as she moves into an increasingly broad role as a comedian, host, writer, producer and actress.
