Comedian Nikki Glaser expressed high praise for Conan O’Brien’s performance as host of the 97th Academy Awards, held on March 2, 2025. Glaser, who hosted the Golden Globes earlier this year, described O’Brien’s hosting as “A+,” highlighting his effortless humor and the refreshing energy he brought to the ceremony.
A standout moment for Glaser was Adam Sandler’s playful interaction with Timothée Chalamet during the event. Sandler humorously protested his casual attire by hugging and kissing Chalamet while shouting his name, “Chalameeeeet,” mimicking Glaser’s previous jest at the Golden Globes. Glaser expressed her excitement, noting it felt like a callback to her joke, and she was thrilled to witness it live.
Glaser also shared insights into her own Oscars experience, revealing a last-minute wardrobe adjustment before attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. She humorously admitted to indulging in too much Skinny Pop popcorn, necessitating emergency alterations to her dress to ensure comfort during the event.
Overall, Glaser’s reflections added a layer of camaraderie and light-heartedness to the awards season, celebrating the shared humor and unexpected moments that made the Oscars memorable.
