Comedian Nikki Glaser revealed during an appearance on The Tonight Show that star Leonardo DiCaprio sent her baskets of pasta following the 2026 Golden Globe Awards ceremony. This came after Glaser mocked DiCaprio during her monologue at the event, commenting on his repeated relationships with women under the age of thirty—a fact well known to the public due to his highly private personal life.
Glaser joked, "Leonardo DiCaprio has had an amazing career, with many iconic roles, working with top directors, and winning three Golden Globes and an Oscar, but the most remarkable thing is that he accomplished all that before his girlfriend turned thirty."
She added that she tried to avoid the joke because she considered it "cheap," but noted that the audience knows very little about his personal life, making this joke the most common one about him. She also mentioned that the deepest interview DiCaprio ever gave was to Teen Beat magazine in 1991, where he talked about his love for pasta.
Glaser explained that she usually sends flowers to those she mocks in her shows as a form of thanks, but DiCaprio was the only one who responded by sending three baskets of pasta, which both surprised and amused her.
