Nikki Glaser Delivers Sharp Roasts At Star-Studded Time100 Gala

Comedian Nikki Glaser brought her trademark sharp wit to the Time100 Gala in New York, proving she remains the industry’s premier roaster. Fresh off recent high-profile successes, Glaser took aim at some of the biggest names in the room, delivering a series of barbs that targeted pop icon Katy Perry and fashion mogul Victoria Beckham. No status was too high to escape her observational comedy as she navigated a room filled with the world’s most influential figures.

The performance highlights Glaser's growing role as the go-to entertainer for award season and elite galas. While some roasts can lean into cruelty, Glaser’s set balanced biting satire with the prestige of the event, keeping a crowd of politicians, activists, and A-list celebrities laughing at their own expense. Her ability to dismantle star personas with surgical precision has made her sets a viral staple of modern celebrity culture.

Fans and critics alike are watching to see if this performance serves as a formal audition for larger hosting duties, such as the upcoming Golden Globes. For now, the gala set serves as a reminder that few in the industry can command a room of high-powered egos quite like Glaser. Her knack for finding the vulnerability in the ultra-famous ensures that even the most exclusive events remain grounded in humor.
