Nikki Glaser has a new agency. The comedian signed with WME in all areas, ending an eight-year run at UTA, according to Deadline.
The timing reflects how much Glaser's career has changed. She has been doing stand-up since the early 2000s, but 2024 marked a turning point. Her performance at The Roast of Tom Brady drew wide attention, and her HBO special Someday You'll Die set a record as the largest streaming comedy special premiere in HBO Max history. That special went on to earn Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice recognition, and won a WGA Award.
Glaser currently holds three Emmy nominations, covering her Hulu special Good Girl and her work hosting the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards. In 2025, she made history as the first woman to solo host the Golden Globes. She hosted again earlier this year and will return for a third consecutive year in 2027.
Beyond stand-up, her film and television work is expanding on multiple fronts. She is set to star in Netflix's The Fifth Wheel, directed by Eva Longoria, alongside Kim Kardashian. Also at Netflix, her animated feature Steps, with Amanda Seyfried, premieres in November. At Paramount Pictures, she will co-write, produce, and star in an original comedy inspired by the classic game MASH. A romantic comedy at Universal Pictures, with Judd Apatow producing, is also in the works, with Glaser co-writing, producing, and starring.
She is currently on the road with her North American and European stand-up tour, called The Stunning Tour. She continues to be represented by Alex Murray at Brillstein and attorney Lev Ginsburg alongside her new agency.
