Nikki Glaser has once again found herself at the center of attention after sharing a series of startling throwback photos from 2009, showcasing her dramatic evolution over the last 16 years. The 40-year-old comedian posted the side-by-side images on her social media accounts following her recent appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," where she addressed the ongoing discussions surrounding plastic surgery and the weight-loss drug Ozempic.

In her post, Glaser wrote, “First Tonight Show Jan 2009 — Latest Tonight Show Mar 2025,” presenting a striking comparison between her look back in 2009 and her current glamorous appearance. The earlier photo depicted a fresh-faced Glaser, sporting minimal makeup in a classic black ensemble, while the more recent snapshot highlighted her transformation in a dazzling metallic silver mini-dress, showcasing her curvy figure and newfound confidence.

However, it was her remarks during the “Tonight Show” that ignited considerable backlash. Glaser boldly expressed her support for plastic surgery, declaring that she planned to undergo a facelift in 2026. She stirred further controversy by defending the use of Ozempic for weight loss—a medication primarily prescribed for diabetes—stating, “If you want to do Ozempic, hell yeah, girl.”

Glaser addressed the stigma attached to using the drug for non-diabetic purposes, arguing it comes from “thin people who want you to stay fat.” Her comments added fuel to the debate about body image and societal standards of beauty, with many online users responding passionately to her unfiltered honesty about the pressures of looking good in the entertainment industry.

The comedian didn't shy away from making light of the situation, joking about actress Kathy Bates, who also admitted to using Ozempic to aid her weight loss journey. Bates revealed that she lost 20 pounds with the drug and a total of 80 pounds through lifestyle changes. Glaser humorously sketched a hypothetical scenario in which those critical of Ozempic use are merely jealous of the weight loss successes of others.

In addition to discussing her views on Ozempic, Glaser elaborated on her perspective regarding cosmetic procedures on the late-night show, asserting that personal appearance can indeed impact how one is treated in society. “People treat you better when you’re hotter. It’s just a fact,” she candidly admitted. Her comments represent a broader commentary on beauty standards and the societal pressures faced by women, particularly in high-profile roles.

Further adding to her candid approach toward beauty enhancements, Glaser previously revealed plans for a brow lift in preparation for her hosting duties at the 2025 Golden Globes, which she later postponed in favor of delivering a stunning performance as host. Following her successful return, the 2026 Golden Globes hosting gig has been confirmed. Globes President Helen Hoehne praised Glaser's "refreshing spark and fearless wit," solidifying her rising status in Hollywood.

As conversations around body positivity and authenticity continue to evolve in 2023, Nikki Glaser’s bold declarations serve as both a reflection of personal journey and the ongoing societal dialogue surrounding beauty, health, and self-acceptance.
