Nikki Glaser, well-known comedian, recently expressed her delight in Adam Sandler’s continued joke involving Timothée Chalamet at the 2025 Oscars. Glaser originally introduced the joke during her hosting of the Golden Globes earlier this year, where she playfully exaggerated Sandler’s pronunciation of Chalamet’s name.

During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark’s “After the Oscars Show,” Glaser shared her thoughts on the ongoing joke. She mentioned a moment from the Oscars ceremony where Sandler, known for his casual attire, approached Chalamet with the same exaggerated pronunciation, followed by a playful kiss on the head.
Glaser was visibly excited about the joke’s continuity, expressing how it was a callback to her initial Golden Globes monologue. She described witnessing the joke unfold at the Oscars as “awesome” and admitted it was one of her favourite moments of the evening, albeit somewhat “selfishly.”
Reflecting on the Oscars overall, Glaser praised host Conan O’Brien for his performance, describing it as “A+.” She highlighted the element of silliness and unexpected moments throughout the ceremony, making it a memorable and entertaining event for her.
The banter between Sandler and Chalamet, stemming from Glaser’s initial joke, continued to entertain the audience at the Oscars. Sandler, known for his comedic timing, joined in on the fun by adding his unique twist to the pronunciation of Chalamet’s name, creating a light-hearted atmosphere during the awards show.
In addition to the light-hearted moments, O’Brien also engaged with Sandler about his unconventional outfit choice for the Oscars. The exchange between O’Brien and Sandler, where Sandler defended his casual attire with humour, added to the playful tone of the evening.
While Chalamet was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar, ultimately losing out to Adrien Brody, the camaraderie and jest between the stars, initiated by Glaser’s original joke, added a touch of humour to the prestigious event.
Glaser’s reaction to seeing her joke carried forward at such a high-profile event like the Oscars underscores the impact of comedic moments in bringing light-heartedness and camaraderie to the entertainment industry.
As the entertainment world continues to thrive on humour and camaraderie, instances like these serve as a reminder of the joy and connection that comedy can bring, even in the midst of prestigious events like the Oscars.
