Nikki Glaser has opened up about how Leonardo DiCaprio responded to the jokes she made about him at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards.

For those unaware, the 41-year-old American comedian and actress roasted him for his dating history, especially his inclination towards women under 30, and his extremely private life, as the only thing people know about him is his favourite food, which is “pasta, pasta and more pasta."

On Wednesday, May 6, the 41-year-old American comedian and actress attended Netflix Is a Joke's Night of Too Many Stars event at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, where she shared that DiCaprio sent her three baskets of pasta after she made fun of him.

Speaking with PEOPLE magazine at the event, she recalled, "I got sent a picture of it because I wasn't there when it arrived, and I was like, 'What is this?' And they were like, 'It's from Leonardo DiCaprio,' and I was like, 'There's no way.' And then I zoomed in more, and I was kind of confused.”

"I was like, 'He sent pasta?' and I didn't remember that the joke I had told was that his favorite food was pasta, pasta, and more pasta, and that he sent me three baskets of it,” Glaser shared. “So, he did three servings of pasta. It was so funny.”

The Dancing with the Stars alum admitted that the One Battle After Another actor’s response was “so entirely unexpected.”

"I was just bowled over by how kind it was because he took a couple of jokes that night that I'm sure — no one loves to have jokes directed at them, so it's probably really kind of like, 'Oh God, this again,’” Nikki Glaser noted.
