Nikki Glaser may have just remembered that Hollywood is a very small town.
While attending the 2025 Grammys on Sunday, February 2, in Los Angeles, the comedian found herself sitting just one table away from Jennifer Lopez.
Cameras spotted the duo’s seating arrangement when Benson Boone kicked off the Best New Artist performance segment.
While it’s unclear if the pair caught up during the show, fans will remember Glaser, 40, made an OMG-worthy joke about Lopez’s ex, Ben Affleck, while hosting the 2025 Golden Globes just a couple of weeks prior.
Now that the 2025 Grammys red carpet has been rolled out, see the fashion statements that the industry’s biggest stars are already serving on music’s biggest night in real time, as it all goes down on Sunday, February 2, in Los Angeles, California. With multiple multi-time Grammy winners scheduled to present (and possibly also collect) […]
In her opening monologue, Glaser gave a shout-out to the actor — who wasn’t even at the award ceremony or nominated.
“Tonight we celebrate the best of film,” she told the crowd on January 5. “Wicked. Queer. Nightbitch. These are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms.”
The next day, Glaser appeared on SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” and revealed she cut another joke about Affleck, 52, from her monologue.
“I just did all these toasts that were roasts,” she explained of her cut bit. “Like, ‘Here’s to Ben Affleck, I can’t wait to see which Jennifer you try to ruin next.’”
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024 after two years of marriage. The “On the Floor” singer later opened up to Glaser about her turbulent summer in a chat with Interview.
As for Affleck, he later married Jennifer Garner in 2005. They announced their separation, however, 10 years later. They continue to coparent their kids Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12.
Exes and jokes aside, both Glaser and Lopez appeared to be focused on enjoying their night and celebrating the best of music, even getting in on Boone’s performance.
Lopez later appeared onstage in a Stephane Rolland dress to present the award for Best Latin Pop Album to Shakira.
The 2025 Grammy Awards turned up the volume on music’s biggest night. Trevor Noah returned to the Grammy Awards stage on Sunday, February 2, hosting the ceremony for the fifth year in a row. New voices such as Chappell Roan and Teddy Swims provided stiff competition for Grammys favorites — including Taylor Swift and Billie […]
“Hola Grammys ✨🖤,” Lopez wrote via Instagram after posing backstage for photos.
As for Glaser, she arrived on the red carpet in a Stella McCartney dress to celebrate her nomination for Best Comedy Album. Unlike the Golden Globes, Glaser was able to simply chill for this award show.
“It is so exciting that I’m here and I don’t have to do anything!” she told E! News on Live From E!: Grammys. “[ While hosting,] you’re worried about what’s going to happen and you don’t even get to watch the show ’cause you’re backstage doing quick changes. And this one I’m just going to be sitting there, getting to take it all in and see the best concert of my life.”
