She heard something she’ll never forget — and she’s keeping it to herself.
That’s the delicious tease Nikki Glaser dropped at the 2026 Time100 Gala in New York City, revealing that Kim Kardashian gave her some of the most meaningful advice she has ever received. The comedian, who is riding one of the biggest waves of her career right now, called the guidance “insane” — and said it literally changed her life. She just won’t say what it was. Not yet. Maybe not ever. And somehow, that makes us want to know even more.
Glaser hinted at the story just enough to leave everyone wanting details. A hard life decision. A perspective no one else could have offered. And the strength to do something she was scared to do. The details are slim, but the emotion behind them is real, and fans are already buzzing about what the advice could have been.
An Unexpected Friendship Formed on Set
GettyThe bond between Glaser and Kardashian grew out of their time filming The Fifth Wheel, a Netflix comedy directed by Eva Longoria and produced by Kardashian herself. Glaser, 41, joined the cast in December 2025 alongside Fortune Feimster, Brenda Song, Will Ferrell, and Jack Whitehall. The film follows a group of high school best friends on a Vegas girls’ weekend that gets wonderfully disrupted when Kardashian’s character crashes their reunion.
Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly at the Time100 Gala on April 23, Glaser was warm and effusive about the experience. “It was so much fun and she is incredible,” Glaser said of Kardashian, 45. She described her co-star as giving her a perspective on a personal decision that “really no one else could have offered me besides her”. “It helped me have the strength to do something that I was scared to do,” Glaser added. She confirmed the advice “really did change my life”.
What started as a professional collaboration has clearly turned into something much more personal. Glaser told TIME magazine in April 2026 that she is “proud” to have Kardashian’s phone number and that Kim “would take my call at any time of night”. She called Kardashian “smart and calculating in a really brilliant way” — a description that reads as the highest compliment from a woman known for her own sharp wit.
Nikki Glaser Is Having Her Biggest Moment Yet
This revelation comes at a peak moment in Glaser’s career. She hosted the 2026 Time100 Gala, where she roasted the room with her signature precision. Her new stand-up special Good Girl dropped on Hulu on April 24, 2026, to strong fan enthusiasm.
Earlier this year, she hosted the Golden Globes for the second consecutive time, cementing her status as one of the sharpest hosts in Hollywood. The Leonardo DiCaprio pasta joke she delivered at the Golden Globes even prompted DiCaprio to send her three baskets of noodles — and that story says everything about where Nikki Glaser stands right now.
She also confirmed she hopes to appear on The Kardashians on Hulu someday. “Fingers crossed!” she told Us Weekly. Given how close the two women have grown, that cameo feels less like a wish and more like a matter of when.
Nikki Glaser receiving life-changing wisdom from Kim Kardashian is the friendship story nobody predicted — and everybody needed.
It also signals something bigger: women at the top of their fields are finding genuine community with each other, across industries and backgrounds.
Whatever Kim told her, it worked. And Nikki Glaser is living proof.
