The publication reports that Glaser signed a three-year deal last year. “I got paid pretty — I’m good with that,” she said without divulging an exact figure. “There was a past host who said how much he got paid in his monologue and I got less than that, but that’s OK. I’ll get more next year.”.
Expressing her gratitude for the opportunity, Glaser added: “This first year, when you’re just trying to prove yourself, I honestly would’ve done it for free. It’s an insane platform to be on. It’s not about the money for me.”. The Someday You’ll Die stand-up was overwhelmingly lauded by viewers, who praised her for “annihilating” with her routine.
“We absolutely had a great experience with her,” executive producer Glenn Weiss said, “and think that she would be great at this in the long term.”. While Glaser was one of the major hits of the evening, there was one joke that didn’t land with the audience or viewers.
“Zendaya, you were incredible in Dune,” she said, adding: “Oh my God, I woke up for all of your scenes. You were so good... and Challengers, girl? Oh my God! That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card. I mean, seriously.”She continued: “I’m sorry – I’m upset too. The afterparty is not going to be as good this year, but we have to move on. I know a Stanley Tucci freak-off doesn’t have the same ring to it. No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.”.
