Nikki Glaserhad to make some last-minute alterations before rocking her latest red carpet look.

The comedian, 40, wore a strapless Valdrin Sahiti sheer lace black gown to the 2025Vanity FairOscar Party, but she revealed there had to be some drastic changes to pull it off.

“I got fitted for it a month ago and I’ve been eating too much Skinny Pop,” she toldEntertainment Tonight.

She joked she’s been eating the popcorn “all day long” and “taking down bags” while she’s been “on the road” for her Alive and Unwell tour, which kicked off in February and runs through October.

“They had to emergency bring in a sewing machine and take out part of the train and make this wider,” Glaser said, referring to the bodice. “So I’m comfortable.”

During the interview, Glaser,who hosted the 2025 Golden Globes, also weighed in onConan O’Brien’s hosting gig at this year’s Academy Awards.

“He is the reason I do comedy. He is my favorite person of all time, I am so excited to watch him. I can’t believe it,” she told ET. “He’s like a national treasure.”
