Nikki Glaser Admits She Was ‘Clowning' for a Taylor Swift Announcement at the 2025 AMAs
Nikki Glaser was one of countless Swifties who was a little let down after the 2025 American Music Awards ended with no word from Taylor Swift, despite a trail of seeming clues leading up to the show that fans had thought meant the pop superstar be making an appearance or announcing something major on Monday night (May 26). But in the hours before the ceremony ended in Las Vegas — back when Swiftie hopes were still high — the comedian gushed in a red carpet interview with Billboard that she was indeed 'clowning' over the possibility of the pop superstar showing up to unveil either a brand new album or Reputation (Taylor's Version). 'I did see a list on Instagram tonight of all the Easter eggs that say that she's going to be here,' Glaser said, noting that she was trying not to think too much about it, lest she 'freak out.'

'But I think I'm clowning.' Ultimately, Swift didn't even attend the awards, much less share news about a new project. The no-show came weeks after fans first noticed that the 14-time Grammy winner's online store had changed to display a menu reading, 'Apparel, Music, Accessories, Sale,' spelling out 'AMAs' with each word's first letter. Swifties — Glaser included — also discovered that several items on the website were on sale for 26% off their original price, matching the May 26 date of the ceremony. 'It's too much of a coincidence with all the 26s lining up,' Glaser gushed to Billboard. 'What else could it be? There's gotta be something, and if there's not … I have a feeling she's holding onto [Reputation (Taylor's Version)] for a long time. I think that girl's got new music for us — that's my prediction.' But despite her excitement, the TV personality noted that she would be happy even if Swift didn't make any moves that night. 'Even if she doesn't show up, we love it,' added Glaser, who later presented new artist of the year to Gracie Abrams. 'Thank you for the puzzle.' Though Monday's goose chase ended up leading to a dead end, Swift is famous for teasing things months in advance and leaving Easter eggs for her fans to decode. The practice dates back to the very beginning of her career, when she used to hide secret messages in her CD lyric booklets by not-so-randomly capitalizing letters. In the 20 years since, Swifties have gotten used to scanning everything from her outfits to her Instagram captions for subtle clues about her next steps. Glaser has long been a fan of the 'Fortnight' singer, revealing in December that she'd spent nearly $100,000 to see Swift on 22 Eras Tour shows in 2023 and 2024. 'She has no idea who I am, but I'm just the biggest fan,' the comedian said in July of being 'addicted' to the concerts on Jimmy Kimmel Live. 'I want to just see it as much as possible, it's the thing that makes me happiest in the world.' In February, however, the Someday You'll Die stand-up explained why she would never approach her idol in person. 'Taylor, she's just — everyone wants a piece,' she said on Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard of bumping into the pop star at award shows. 'I will never be the one to be like, 'Excuse me!' There's no way that she's dying for that on a night like this where everyone's doing it. And of course, she would be so nice. I know exactly how it would go down, but I don't wanna take someone's energy away that I require their energy to be put into making great music.'

Viral full body scan offers North Texans preventative health insights
As more people embrace health and wellness trends, a new clinic in North Texas is offering a high-tech way to look beneath the surface. Prenuvo, a company operating in Irving, provides full-body MRI scans that claim to detect early signs of more than 500 medical conditions, including cancer, brain aneurysms, and other serious illnesses. Prenuvo "We like to call it an inside-outside physical," said Julia Glaser, a representative for Prenuvo. The scan takes less than an hour and gives patients a comprehensive view of their internal health, without invasive procedures. The company's rapid growth has been fueled by social media buzz and celebrity endorsements, including viral TikTok videos and support from Kim Kardashian. "When you're looking at what's happening on the inside, and how it's not manifesting on the outside, it's wild," Glaser said. Unlike traditional MRIs that focus on a specific area, Prenuvo scans the entire body in one session. That concept caught the attention of Shayla Dunlap, a local family nurse practitioner. "My patients were asking me about it," Dunlap said. Curious, she tried the scan herself. While she emphasized it shouldn't replace regular medical care or screenings, she believes it could be a powerful tool for early detection. "What I was looking for out of the scan was peace of mind. And it definitely brought me peace of mind," she said. In Dunlap's case, there were no major findings. But clinic staff said the scans have made a difference for others. "In one case, we had a man come in. We were joking, everything was fine, we got him on the machine, and our jaws just dropped," Glaser said. "This individual had cancer all throughout his body." After the scan, results are reviewed by a radiologist and delivered through an app. A nurse practitioner also walks patients through the findings. "When you're able to catch something before it escalates to multi-system effects, the treatment options and outcomes are just so much better," Glaser said. The full-body scan costs about $2,500. Prenuvo hopes that as technology advances and demand increases, the service will become more accessible and affordable for anyone seeking peace of mind through preventive care.

Jon Glaser brings "Soothing Meditations for the Solitary Dog" to Chicago
Comedian Jon Glaser is coming back to Chicago next week with his one-man show"Jon Glaser's Soothing Meditations For The Solitary Dog." What they're saying:"My show is very loosely based off/inspired by a comedy album I made," Glaser tells Axios. "In theory, it's supposed to be a relaxing album you can put on if you ever need to leave an anxious dog at home. But it goes off on a bunch of irritating tangents." Zoom in: Glaser built a fabulous career after leaving Chicago in the mid-'90s. He's written and performed for several late-night comedy shows and starred in shows like HBO's "Girls" and NBC's "Parks & Recreation." He also created a cult-like following for his Adult Swim show "Delocated" and his TruTV hit " Jon Glaser Loves Gear." Flashback: He got his start at Second City, where he returns for his one-man show on Thursday. In a fit of nostalgia, he recalled for us what his perfect day looked like in 1995. 🍟 Breakfast: "I lived near Belmont and Damen and often went to the sadly now closed Man-Jo-Vin's for many an inexpensive meal. I think they had breakfast, but honestly don't remember. I do remember eating a ton of fries." 🛌 Morning activity: " Whether it was after an improv class or Second City show, I was usually going out late, so my preferred morning activity was sleep. I know that doesn't sound very "Chicago," but my pillow was a slice of Lou Malnati's deep dish." 🥪 Lunch:" Village Tap in Roscoe Village. I just checked their menu, and "cajun chicken sandwich" sounds familiar. David Koechner lived nearby as well and we'd meet there often to complain about the bullshit du jour, giving the place our pet nickname of Griper's Corner." 🎧 Afternoon activity:"Listening to/buying CDs at See and Hear on North Avenue (you could listen to an album before you bought it, which was a novelty back then). I spent most of my Second City Touring Company per diem there." 🌯 Dinner:"DeColores, which I think was on Lincoln or Ashland, just south of Belmont. I ate so many burritos from that place, and I absolutely loved their salsa. A 'Google' doesn't yield any results except at Midway Airport." "I have no idea if it's the same place or same ownership, but the reviews are generally unforgiving, so let's say there's no way so as not to ruin the sentimentality of my trip down memory lane." 🎭 Evening activity:"My day was beginning as most people's ended, with eight shows over six nights a week in the Second City mainstage show 'Piñata Full Of Bees' or before that, classes and weekend nights at Improv Olympic." 🍺 After party: "There's no other place I'd rather end any kind of best day ever than The Old Town Ale House. It was a tremendously fun time, filled with pals, beer and music." "On one particularly memorable evening, Koechner unironically told some loudmouth douchebag to'Take it easy, hotshot' which has become an oft repeated phrase uttered between myself and improv pal Kevin Dorff, and hopefully will end up being one of our death beds Rosebud."

Comedian Nikki Glaser on the One Golden Globes Joke She Thought Was Too ‘Mean'
Despite being known for her ability to hilariously roast celebrities, comedian Nikki Glaser revealed at the TIME100 Summit on Wednesday that there was one joke she told during the 2025 Golden Globes that she worried went too far. Glaser made history earlier this year as the first woman to host the Globes solo and is already set to lead the awards show again in 2026. In the wake of earning rave reviews for the notoriously difficult gig, Glaser says she didn't feel sorry about any of the playful jabs she made. 'I didn't say anything that was like, calling anyone ugly or fat,' she told TIME deputy editor Kelly Conniff in New York City. 'At roasts, you say really cruel things. That's the job.' However, she went on to concede she was initially concerned enough about a quip aimed at Emilia Pérez star Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco that she ended up texting Blanco to get his permission to go ahead with the line. 'I said that Selena Gomez is here because of Emilia Pérez and Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him that wish. And looking back, I'm like, that could seem mean, because everyone's like, he's not attractive enough for her,' she said. 'For me, I've never looked at them and thought that. I feel like she won too. I think he's really cool. So because that joke didn't actually come from a mean place, I felt like it was okay for me to say.' Although Glaser has 20-plus years of industry experience under her belt, her career has been on a notable upswing since her standout performance in Netflix's Emmy-nominated Roast of Tom Brady in May 2024. Now, in the midst of her ongoing Alive and Unwell Tour, Glaser reflected on her tendency to doubt herself no matter how much success she's achieved. 'I'm happier than I've ever been, but I'm not happy by any means,' she said. 'I'm so grateful, but I still have a lot of self loathing that is almost getting boring to talk about at this point.' Glaser added that while people often tell her to embrace the wins, it's not always easy for her. 'I know it'll get taken away at some point, because it has to. That's just the way things work,' she said. 'And when that part of my career happens…I don't want to be sad about that. So I just don't put too much worth in it, but I'm enjoying it.' --- The TIME100 Summit convenes leaders from the global TIME100 community to spotlight solutions and encourage action toward a better world. This year's summit features a variety of speakers across a diverse range of sectors, including business, health and science, AI, culture, and more. Speakers for the 2025 TIME100 Summit include human rights advocate Yulia Navalnaya; Meghan, Duchess of Sussex; comedian Nikki Glaser; climate justice activist Catherine Colman Flowers; Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, and many more, plus a performance by Nicole Scherzinger.
