Nikki Glaser hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend,marking her debut as a host and a night filled with praise for rising comedic talent Jeremy Culhane.Glaser, a comedian known for her stand-up and podcast work, delivered a performance that spotlighted both her own comedic timing and the potential of a future SNL star.
Comedian John Milhiser, a former SNL cast member, enthusiastically predicted Culhane is “about to be SNL royalty,” praising his “funniest, hard-working sketch comedy” skills honed at UCB LA. Milhiser fondly recalled a UCB performance where Glaser, playing a woman loudly eating salad during a meditation session, successfully broke Culhane’s character. He also highlighted Culhane’s collaborative work with Patrick McDonald, including viral TikTok-style videos featuring Benson boone’s music that take a dark, unexpected turn. Fans can find Culhane on instagram at @Jazzy_Jelly.
The episode also included a shout-out to fellow comedian Day, whom Milhiser also admires. Milhiser recently celebrated his own wedding at Union Station in Los Angeles, describing the event as a “dream come true” and praising event planner Christina Collins of Love Loud Events. The show briefly featured Marcello Hernandez during the goodnights and in a photo cameo.
