Nikki Glaser Shows off Ozempic Transformation in Dramatic Photos
During her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on March 26, Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser showed some surprising side-by-side photos of her transformation over the years, which she proudly credits to plastic surgery and Ozempic.
“Oh, I love it, I love. I’m like, do it, do it. I have no judgment,” Glaser said when Fallon asked her about using Ozempic. “If you want to do Ozempic, hell yeah, girl.” She admitted to initially feeling “shame” for taking the weight loss drug targeted at people suffering from diabetes, but she rationalized that most criticism seems to come “from thin people who want you to stay fat,” saying she believes those people are “so mad” that Ozempic users are getting skinny because “that’s all they have.”
After adding that she's considering having a face lift procedure in the near future, Glaser continued: “You have your dynamic, you have a good personality, and they’re like, ‘No.’ They’re so mad. But they can’t say it right. They just go, ‘You’re stealing medicine from diabetics who need it.’ That’s their excuse. Like anyone’s ever cared about someone with diabetes who doesn’t have it. It’s suddenly all these thin white women who are like, ‘Diabetics need their meds.’ No, I think you’re upset that Kathy Bates has a thigh gap. She’s coming for you! That’s more what it could be about, I think.”
Predictably, Glaser’s comments incensed a certain section of the internet while others defended the comedian’s right to weight loss drugs and free speech. The comedian stoked the flames when she later posted a comparison of her first Tonight Show appearance and her most recent to Instagram.
“This is the first time that I'm utterly disappointed with this show!” one person wrote of The Tonight Show in Glaser’s comments. “There's no joke about people that are [awaiting] a life-saving medicine for months or over a year because some people are just too lazy to close their mouth or hit the gym.”

“Side effects include stable A1C levels, lower cholesterol, lower fatty liver rates, less chance of heart disease, kidneys are failing less due to obesity,” another wrote. “Yes, like any drug there are side effects. But pretending like this one has worse side effects than any other drug that people take is wild.”
Another person commended Glaser for speaking her mind. “We have literally found a cure for obesity (which kills millions of people every year) and people are Iike: no but the side effects and like what about the diabetics.”
One fan succinctly summed up Glaser’s appearance: “I am not pro Ozempic, but she is funny as hell!”
