Nikki Glaser, 40, shares shocking images of what she looked like before plastic surgery and spray tans

Nikki Glaser is a stunning blonde with a Malibu tan and a model figure.

But the 40-year-old comedienne didn’t always look Hollywood polished, as she proved via Instagram on Wednesday.

The stand-up professional posted old photos from when she was on the Tonight show from 2009 next to her appearance on the same late night program this month.

There was a stark contrast.

In the earlier images Nikki was attractive but in a different way: she was pale, not as toned, had reddish hair and a bigger nose.

The pal of Gwyneth Paltrow has been open in the past about having plastic surgery.

While on Monday’s episode of The Tonight Show, she told host Jimmy Fallon that she is going to get a facelift next year.

‘Wait till the facelift,’ Glaser replied after Jimmy said she looked good. ‘That’s coming. August 2026. I’m gonna do it. I have no problem with that.’

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.”‘

The beauty also said that plastic surgery was ‘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.”‘

And then she delivered this truth bomb: ‘People treat you better when you’re hotter. It’s just a fact. It’s a sad fact of life.’

She refuses to accept natural beauty and would rather take matters into her own hands.

Glaser argued, ‘And everyone goes, “That’s so sad, why don’t you love the way you were born?” and it’s like “Well, why did you go to college? Why don’t you love the brain you were born with? Why did you pay thousands of dollars to that institution?”‘

She is also pro Ozempic.

‘Oh, I love it, I love it. I’m like, do it, do it. I have no judgment,’ she shared.

‘If you want to do Ozempic, hell yeah, girl. I want people to feel more comfortable talking about doing it, because I feel like there’s, like, this shame — and the shame is only from thin people who want you to stay fat. Like that’s really where it’s coming from.’

She also doesn’t like the skinny Karens out there judging fuller women for going on Ozempic.

‘They are so mad that you’re getting thin now, because that’s all they have, right? They are so mad, but they can’t say it. They just go, “No! You’re stealing medicine from diabetics who need it.” Like, that’s their excuse,’ she continued.

She then referenced a big star: ‘No, I think you’re upset that Kathy Bates has a thigh gap. That’s more what it could be about, I think.’

She recently said she is getting a face lift in 2026

This comes on the heels of her saying she had to delay a brow lift to host the 2025 Golden Globes.

‘For January 2025, I was going to possibly have, like, a brow lift or some kind of, like, really invasive surgery that I’ve been, you know, looking into getting,’ she told the outlet.

But when two of her agents called about the opportunity, Glaser had to rethink her priorities.

Recalling the tense moment, she said: ‘When it’s two, you know it’s good news, because when it’s bad news, they just make one person do it, cause no one wants to do that!’

‘And they’re like, “So, this operation, is there any way you could push it ’til maybe the second week of January.”‘

Glaser jumped at the opportunity to host the Golden Globes and add her own twist to the show via her role. In fact, the star is confident that she will ‘nail it’ as a host.

She said, ‘I’m gonna nail it. Maybe I won’t nail it in some people’s eyes, but I will have nailed it in my eyes because I have set up a system leading up to it that I couldn’t possibly work harder on it.’

And even if she gets nervous, the blonde vixen says she ‘thrive[s] on anxiety.’
