“I’m gonna use the money from tonight [and] I’m gonna get a brow lift,” Glaser said in her comedy May 2024 special with Max, Someday You’ll Die. “I know I want this because every time I’m stressed out, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, snatched,’” she said, pulling back her face. “I’ve never felt worse but I’ve never looked better,” she quipped.
Wardrobe Malfunctions
Glaser experienced her very own fashion faux pas while appearing on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in May 2021. As she was virtually introduced to the crowd, Glaser opened her arms to say “Hello, Jimmy!” But accidentally broke the top off of her hot pink sparkly blazer.
“My dress just unpopped!” Glaser exclaimed while crossing her arms, covering up. “That was humiliating, let’s keep going,” she said, brushing the incident off.

Glaser later joked about how long it takes women to get ready for an event during her Hollywood Reporter’s annual Women in Entertainment speech in December 2024.
“Can we all just acknowledge the toll glam takes on our schedules?” she said to the crowd. “Did everyone start getting ready while it was still dark outside? In fact, I think this very speech I’m giving right now probably could have been 20 percent better had I not spent most of yesterday getting ready just to feel presentable enough to read it.”
She continued, “It’s hard to write a speech on the same day you have to get a spray tan, do a fitting, get your nails done and bleach your a——.”
“Let’s just remember that this is the part of our job that men don’t really have to do,” she laughed.
Looking Hot
Glaser joked about getting treated differently when she has makeup on during her Someday You’ll Die special. In the episode, she shared a hilarious story about getting free groceries at Trader Joes after a cashier flirted with her when she looked “hot.”
Messy Updos
“The only safe style for a woman now is when you wear your hair up in a high ponytail,” Glaser quipped while doing standup in June 2023. “Don’t you dare take that from us.”
She also joked that men “own buns” now, and she can’t wear her hair in an updo without it becoming a “man bun.”
