Leonardo Dicaprio Sends Nikki Glaser 3 Pasta Baskets After Roast
Nikki Glaser says leonardo dicaprio sent her three baskets of pasta after she joked about him at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards. The exchange gave her a rare reply after she mailed thank-you notes and flowers to the people she mocked in January.
Glaser’s January monologue
Glaser said she first saw a picture of the baskets and heard they were from DiCaprio after the fact. “He sent pasta?” she said, before adding, “He sent me three baskets of it.”
That gift followed her Golden Globes joke about his favorite food being “pasta, pasta, and more pasta,” a line rooted in a 1991 interview. The response stood out because Glaser said DiCaprio was the only person who wrote back after she sent flowers to people she poked fun at during the monologue.
What she said on May 6
On May 6, Glaser said the gesture was “so entirely unexpected” and “so funny” during a red-carpet conversation at Netflix Is a Joke’s Night of Too Many Stars event at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. She said, “I felt like in receiving that gift from him, I learned more about him than I have because he doesn't do interviews.”
Glaser also said, “I'm like, oh, he's a legit, kind, cool dude. Funny, cool, and kind, and just exactly what you want [him] to be.” She added, “I don't dwell on it too much because it kind of trips me up, just having any kind of correspondence with Leonardo DiCaprio.”
DiCaprio’s rare reply
The detail that changes the story is not the pasta itself but the response pattern around it. Glaser said she sent notes and flowers after her January monologue, then said DiCaprio was the only person who sent something back, which turned a one-night roast into a small public exchange between comic and target.
She put it plainly: “It shouldn't be happening. How did I get here?” That is the right reading of the moment for anyone watching awards-season comedy from the inside — a joke lands, the target answers, and the comedian ends up with three baskets of pasta instead of silence.
