\n\tNikki Glaser<\/a> opened her \u201cSNL<\/a>\u201d monologue with an ode to the Big Apple: \u201cHere I am in New York City, Epstein\u2019s original island!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe returned to the topic of the infamous sex offender \u2014 and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell later in her monologue while talking about her Gen Z friends who \u201chave a really big fear of being trafficked.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn my 20s I just feared good old-fashioned rape. I didn\u2019t think it would be a career. We didn\u2019t think it was anything more than a temp job at a frat house futon,\u201d said Glaser, who is 41. \u201cThey\u2019re like, \u2018We\u2019re safer when you\u2019re with us because they think you\u2019re our madam. You have resting Ghislaine face, so keep that up.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGlaser didn\u2019t shy away from taboo topics in her monologue, and later jokingly worried that she might be a pedophile while telling a story about her 4-year-old nephew asking to take a shower with her.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy sister\u2019s like, \u2018He can take a shower with you. It\u2019s fine. He does it with us,’\u201d she said. \u201c\u2018Okay, that\u2019s fine for you guys, but are you okay with an adult showering with your child? \u2026 What if I molest him?\u2019 She was like, \u2018Would you?\u2019 I was like, \u2018No! I would never! That\u2019s disgusting! But that\u2019s what I\u2019d say if I was gonna.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDon\u2019t trust anyone. I don\u2019t even trust myself,\u201d Glaser continued. \u201cI don\u2019t want to go in there. How do you become a pedophile? You don\u2019t get to choose what you\u2019re into, dude. What if it\u2019s one of those things you don\u2019t know you until you get in there, and you\u2019re like, \u2018Well, this is my thing,\u2019 and it opens up a part of my brain? I know that sounds crazy, but there have been so many things in my life that I\u2019ve been like, \u2018I would never do that.\u2019 And now I\u2019m like, \u2018Looks kind of fun, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGlaser also made jokes about Donald Trump\u2019s \u201corange\u201d tan.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe picked an insane shade. He went pretty dark,\u201d she said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t go Kamala, but he picked a shade that half of America was like, \u2018Okay, we can still tell he\u2019s white.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt is kind of insane that white people can just paint their skin,\u201d Glaser continued, making fun of her own spray tan this time. \u201cI feel like that\u2019s cultural appropriation. I don\u2019t know. I mean, it\u2019s not blackface, but it is Guatemalan leg. This is not my leg. I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh my god, me llamo is Nikki!\u2019 Am I saying that right?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGlaser is a first-time \u201cSNL\u201d host. In January, she will host the Golden Globes for the second consecutive year, and in 2026, Hulu will debut a comedy special from Glaser that was taped in October. Sombr was the musical guest during Glaser\u2019s episode, also making his debut on the show. <\/p>\n
