Nikki Glaser has had a major glow-up!
On Wednesday, March 26, Glaser, 40, shared her transformation glow-up over the course of 16 years. In a series of side-by-side photo splits via Instagram, Glaser compared her first appearance on The Tonight Show in 2009 with her most recent time on the late night show this week.
“
First Tonight Show Jan 2009 ———-> Latest Tonight Show Mar 2025 ,” she captioned the post.
In snaps from 2009, the comedian, then 24, looks nearly unrecognizable in a simple black dress, matching cropped blazer and leather boots. Her blonde hair features face-framing layers and curtain bangs.
One photo shows Glaser striking nearly the same pose as she did this week while walking onto the talk show set and waving to the audience. Another image shows her chatting with the then-host, Jay Leno.
The star appeared on the March 24 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she wore a metallic silver mini dress with a draped neckline and structured shoulders.
She also added a pair of matching silver pumps.

While chatting with host Jimmy Fallon, Glaser joked about getting a facelift in “August 2026.”
“I’m gonna do it. I have no problem with that,” the comedian said.
She continued, “You’ve got to do it subtly, so they go, ‘What’s she doing?’ and you can just go, ‘Just meditating more. I’m doing the type of meditation that removes your eyelid skin.’ That’s what they say, ‘I’m drinking more water. I’m just working on my gut health, so my brow has been lowered two inches.’ “
Glaser added that she views plastic surgery as “a wise investment.”
“There’s kind of a stigma around getting face work or investing in your beauty and doing all these procedures,” she explained. “And there is maybe a little bit of a sadness to it, but I kind of also am like, ‘Well, it makes my life better.’ People treat you better when you’re hotter. It’s just a fact. It’s a sad fact of life.”
