Golden Globes Host Shares Surprising Gift From Leonardo DiCaprio After Roasting Him

Comedian Nikki Glaser has claimed that Leonardo DiCaprio had a saucy response to her jokes about his love life at theGolden Globes earlier this year.

Appearing on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show on Wednesday night, the stand-up explained: “After I [host an awards show], I always send flowers to everyone that I made fun of that was a good sport about it, which was everyone.”

She then revealed that Leo is “the only person who sent something back to me”.

While fronting the 2026 Golden Globes, Nikki went viral for roasting the One Battle After Another star’s history of dating women under 30 – and for noting that it’s the only thing people know about the very private actor.

She conceded right away that her joke about his dating life was “cheap”, but then complained that the most in-depth interview Leo has ever given was to Teen Beat magazine in 1991.

“Is your favorite food still ‘Pasta, pasta and more pasta?’” she quipped from the stage, to which Leonardo responded by giving an amused thumbs-up.

So, guess what his gift to Nikki was?

“He sent me three baskets of pasta as a ‘thank you,’” she revealed. “So funny. So good. And part of me was like, ‘Does Leo want to smash?’”

During her opening monologue at the Golden Globes in January, Nikki said: “What a career [Leonardo DiCaprio has] had. Countless iconic performances, you’ve worked with every great director, you’ve won three Golden Globes and an Oscar.

“The most impressive thing is you were able to accomplish all that before your girlfriend turned 30… I’m sorry I made that joke, it’s cheap, I tried not to, but we don’t know anything else about you, man. There’s, like, nothing else.”

She later opened up about one polarising A-lister who she ditched a joke about shortly before the ceremony.
