Who Is Nikki Glaser’s Boyfriend Chris Convy? Inside the Golden Globes Host’s Longtime Relationship

Stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser cemented her place in awards-show history in January 2025 when she became the first woman to host the Golden Globe Awards solo. Following widespread praise, she returned as host for the 83rd Golden Globes on January 11, 2026. Her fearless opening monologue, packed with sharp pop-culture references and bold roasts of Hollywood heavyweights, quickly went viral. From jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating life to references to Jeffrey Epstein’s client list, Glaser’s performance dominated online conversation. Amid the renewed spotlight, interest has also surged around her personal life—particularly her long-term relationship.

Meet Nikki Glaser’s longtime boyfriend, Chris Convy

Chris Convy is an Emmy-winning American television producer, writer, and radio host who has shared both a professional and personal bond with Nikki Glaser for over a decade. He has built a strong reputation in variety television and award specials. In 2025, Convy won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special for Conan O’Brien: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor (2025) and earned a nomination for Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die (2024).

His production credits include major projects such as The Little Mermaid Live! (2019), Dave Chappelle: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize (2020), and Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration (2022). Until early 2025, Convy co-hosted The Courtney Show in St. Louis before shifting his focus fully to television. He has also produced several of Glaser’s projects, including Nikki & Sara Live, Not Safe with Nikki Glaser, and her upcoming Hulu comedy special set for 2026.

How Nikki Glaser and Chris Convy first met

Nikki Glaser and Chris Convy met in 2013 while working on MTV’s Nikki & Sara Live in New York City. Convy was a producer on the show, which marked one of Glaser’s earliest major television ventures. Their shared St. Louis background helped spark an initial connection, though Glaser later revealed she dismissed him at first. In an October 2022 interview with Graham Bensinger, she recalled assuming he was drunk at a party and losing interest because she had already quit drinking.

Her perception changed once she learned Convy was sober. She later admitted developing a long-lasting crush, comparing the dynamic to The Office. Recalling that phase, Glaser said:

“I just had a crush from afar which was so fun because I was just pining for him constantly,” she said. “It was very Jim and Pam [from The Office], I was Jim, and he had no idea.”

Nikki Glaser’s unconventional views on relationships

Glaser has openly discussed her unconventional outlook on relationships, revealing that she once encouraged Convy to “entertain the idea” of being with other women, provided there was no emotional involvement. She explained that she wanted her partner to be seen as desirable. Elaborating on her stance, Glaser said:

“I’m a weirdo, and I like my boyfriend to at least entertain the idea of being with other women or be with them…I wouldn’t mind if [he] had a little fling with someone else, not like emotional. Even if she’s hotter than me or looks different than me, I don’t really care what she looks like.”

When their relationship became serious

The COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point for the couple. After moving back to St. Louis, their on-and-off relationship of nearly eight years evolved into a more committed partnership. Glaser has said she reached a point where she wanted long-term stability and even considered marriage. According to her, she would have left St. Louis if Convy hadn’t shared the same intentions. Eventually, Convy confirmed his commitment in his own way—by asking Glaser to be his emergency contact.

Controversy over Nikki Glaser’s SNL joke

During her Saturday Night Live hosting debut on November 8, 2025, Glaser sparked debate after making jokes about Convy’s height and appearance. While some viewers criticized the remarks as body-shaming, others praised her trademark no-holds-barred humor. In her monologue, Glaser joked:

“He’s shorter than me. But he’s, like, really hot. And honestly I think that’s why I got him, because I could never get his face on a taller model. Like if you want to get a 10 in the face you gotta go 5’7″ in the height. That’s the trick. It’s like getting a hot guy on discount.”

As of January 2026, Nikki Glaser and Chris Convy have been together for approximately 12 to 13 years, continuing to balance a high-profile careers with an unconventional but enduring relationship.
