Nikki Glaser shares her thoughts on the Oscars and grading Conan O’Brien’s hosting following the award show ceremony.
Glaser kicked off award season earlier this year hosting the Golden Globes and gave her take on O’Brien’s turn helming the Academy Awards.
“Last night, Conan… A+,” the stand-up comedian said on Live with Kelly & Mark. “I mean, we know he’s funny. We know he’s going to kill. We knew we were in good hands, but there was a silliness to it, with the sandworm playing the harp. There was wild stuff happening.”
Glaser said that O’Brien’s monologue “was good,” adding, “I thought he took some chances. He did the Kendrick [Lamar] joke halfway through. They thought outside the box and it was a traditional Oscar show, but Conan injected some silliness into it.”
The hosts asked Glaser for her favorite moment of the night and she said that “selfishly” her favorite moment was the Adam Sandler-Timothée Chalamet running joke, which she started at the Golden Globes in January.
“I really loved when he was talking to Adam Sandler and then Adam Sandler ran up to Timothée Chalamet and goes, ‘Chalomeeeeet,'” she said. “That was the joke I made at the Golden Globes. So I felt like a call back to my joke and when I was watching it, I was like [makes surprised expression]. It was so awesome.”
Glaser also noted that one of her favorite moments was when her “hair on my arms raising” was the opening with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande performing “Defying Gravity,” from the Oscar-nominated film Wicked.
“It was so beautiful,” she added.

In January, Glaser joked about Chalamet’s name during her opening monologue, saying, “Your name sounds like something Adam Sandler would say.” The comedian then called on Salder to illustrate the joke with an exaggerated “Timothée ah Chalameeeet.”
