Nikki Glaser Would Love To Roast Leonardo DiCaprio — But Only for a Good Cause
Nikki Glaser has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most fearless and in-demand hosts, earning praise for her sharp wit and willingness to poke fun at some of the biggest names in entertainment. From memorable award show monologues to celebrity roast specials, Glaser has built a reputation for delivering bold jokes while still staying in the good graces of the stars she targets.
That balance between fearless comedy and playful respect was once again on display as Glaser opened up about one celebrity she would gladly roast: Leonardo DiCaprio. While the comedian admitted the opportunity would be “amazing,” she also hinted that there would need to be a meaningful reason behind it, one that aligns with the Oscar winner’s public passions.

Fresh off another successful awards season, Nikki Glaser made it clear that Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the few stars she would enthusiastically sign up to roast but not without hesitation. Despite her excitement at the idea, she believes the actor has little to gain from putting himself in that position unless the event served a bigger purpose.
“Oh, I don’t think he should do one of those. He doesn’t need to,” Glaser told Variety at the Time100 Gala. “I mean, it would be amazing and I’d love to do it, but no. He should…but he shouldn’t. If I were anyone in his camp, I’d say, ‘Don’t ever do that.’ Maybe if he was donating [the proceeds] to climate change or something. I could see him doing that. But yeah, that’s one I would absolutely sign up for.”
Her comments reflect both admiration for DiCaprio’s stature and an awareness of how brutal celebrity roasts can be, even when the jokes are all in good fun. By tying the hypothetical event to climate change, a cause DiCaprio has championed for years, Glaser suggested that only a philanthropic angle would make the roast worthwhile for someone of his profile.
As Nikki Glaser continues to dominate the awards show circuit, her playful back-and-forth with Leonardo DiCaprio has become one of the more entertaining celebrity dynamics in recent memory and it may be helping fuel the internet’s fascination with the Oscar winner in unexpected ways.
