Spoiler Alert: This list contains spoilers for The Pitt Season 2.The Pitt Season 2’s final episode had tons of highs and frantic moments, but ended in a perfectly anticlimactic way, with a little bit of quiet disclosure contrasted by loud karaoke. There are a lot of questions that Season 3 needs to answer, and a few that will hopefully be explored through the already confirmed continuation of the series.

This season centered heavily on Robby (Noah Wyle) and his mental health journey. But there were other main characters facing their own personal crises, as well as a few patients whose situations haven’t yet been resolved. There’s no shortage of material to work with in the ongoing storyline for Season 3, even as it inevitably introduces a whole new selection of patients.

Does Dr. Robby Go On His Trip?

The big question throughout the entire second season of the gripping medical drama was what would happen on Robby’s big motorcycle trip. We now know from his candid conversation with Duke (Jeff Kober) that he was flirting with the idea of never returning, not only to the job but also to life. This was a tragic realization, but in saying it out loud, Robby made a big step towards healing.

While he was nowhere near being better, his conversation with Baby Jane Doe suggests that Robby might be rethinking his decision, or at least the finality of it. Fans want to know once the show resumes with an inevitable time jump, short or long, if Robby ever did go on that trip. Most importantly, if he did, did he wear his helmet?

What Happened To Robby’s Mom?

During a quiet conversation while soothing baby Jane Doe, Robby spills his heart out. He tells her that though she has had a rough start, there’s so much for her to see and do, and people who will love her. He mentions that he understands her plight since he was abandoned when he was eight years old. He mentioned this to Dana (Katherine LaNasa) in an earlier episode as well, and her shock confirmed that she didn’t know, which suggests no one did.

This opens the door to learning more about what happened in Robby’s childhood, and most importantly, if he ever reconnected with his biological mother and if she’s even still alive. Even if she’s never shown, hearing him reveal what happened to him as a child would be therapeutic and an important part of his backstory.

Will Dr. Al-Hashimi Be Back?

Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi), one of the best new characters this season, sadly seemed to recognize that she can’t safely work the way she wants to, and probably shouldn’t even be driving her car. This is evidenced when, after a fight with Robby, she gets into her car only to drive a few feet in the parking lot, then stops and breaks down crying. It has to be devastating to not only deal with the seizures but also know that this condition holds you back from doing important work that you’re good at.

It’s evident that Robby won’t leave Al-Hashimi in charge given her condition, so he either stays or someone else takes the reins during his absence. This brings up whether she will return in Season 3 at all, either working at the hospital or visiting in some capacity.

How Will They Explain Dr. Mohan’s Absence?

It has been confirmed that Supriya Ganesh will not be returning to the show as Dr. Samira Mohan, which surprised viewers who adored the character. Her trajectory seemed to be setting her up to leave. She was distracted at work and planning to move to be closer to her mother anyway. When that plan imploded, she argues with Robby one too many times, her heart clearly no longer being in the work or that hospital.

It would be easy to suggest that she left to pursue a career in geriatrics somewhere else, an area for which she clearly had an affinity and desire. Much like when Tracey Ifeachor departed after Season 1 as Dr. Heather Collins, Samira will likely get a brief mention, so fans get closure for the character. Considering The Pitt is the type of show that could go on forever, we suspect she won’t be the last to go from one season to another.

Does Dr. Javadi Pursue Psychiatry?

In a surprising move, Victoria (Shabana Azeez) has an epiphany while talking to Dr. Dennis Whitaker (Gerran Howell). She seems to have a passion for mental health, so maybe she should pursue a career in emergency psychiatry. She runs this idea by Robby, who surprisingly says something nice, noting that she can do anything she puts her mind to.

It’s likely, however, that her surgeon parents would frown upon her going into this field, given how critical they already have been of the young prodigy. This decision will likely play into the character’s arc next season, especially if Victoria confirms this path and begins to pursue it against her parents’ wishes. This would also leave a hole to be filled with a potential new character tending to patients needing physical medical care.

Does Robby Go to Therapy?

Image via HBO Max

Robby has clearly never opened up about his past on the perfect TV drama, and he harbors a lot of trauma from that based on the revelations about his mother. While we always thought it was the death of his friend and mentor during the COVID-19 pandemic that pushed him over the edge, clearly Robby had a lot of emotional pain even before then. The tragic loss of his friend, compounded by the pressures of his job and being surrounded by death and loss, just piled on top of that.

Hearing all the kind words from his friends and co-workers like Jack (Shawn Hatosy), Dana, Frank (Patrick Ball), and Duke, even people he doesn’t know well, like Baran, must be ringing in his ears. Considering every single person who cares about Robby has been urging him to get help, it’s a wonder if he will prioritize that over his motorcycle trip. The hope is that once the timeline resumes in Season 3, Robby will have begun therapy, seeing Dr. Caleb Jefferson (Christopher Thornton) or another therapist to work through his issues.

What Happens to Duke?

Image via HBO Max

Duke made Robby the perfect deal: he would come back for the procedure he needed if Robby would meet him there and let him ride his motorcycle. This is his roundabout way of saying he wants Robby back from this trip in one piece. It sounds like he has decided to pursue the surgery rather than do nothing and risk likely death.

It’s unclear if the character will appear again in the next season. But if not, the hope is that Duke’s fate will at least be mentioned. Given how integral he was to encouraging Robby to finally face his own dark thoughts, he deserves at least a cameo.

Will Dr. Whitaker’s Situationship Last?

Image via HBO Max

Dennis seems to be enamored with the widow of a former patient, despite friends like Dr. Trinity Santos (Isa Briones) and Robby telling him that he should distance himself from her. At the end of the episode, Dennis is talking to Robby outside when she shows up in a truck alongside her baby. Dennis hops in like he’s dad, and Robby’s expression suggests he might have a change of heart in how he feels, seeing how Dennis truly cares for this woman and her child.

That said, it’s unclear if their relationship is romantic, or if she is simply using him as a companion and a helping hand around the farm. Further, it’s unclear if Dennis has real feelings for her, or whether he has simply latched on because he was not able to save her husband and feels a sense of guilt. Season 3 should dive deeper into this relationship if it’s still going strong once the show and its stories resume.

What Happened to Baby Jane Doe?

Image via HBO Max

Baby Jane Doe was introduced early in the season, a baby abandoned at the hospital. The staff searched to find the mother to no avail. Kept in the pediatrics room through the entire 15-hour shift, the baby was cared for, and all relevant tests run to ensure she was healthy or treated for whatever illness she might have. Through the day, she was tended to by nurses as needed and as staff went about their day.

As the shift switched from day to night, Jane Doe was still there awaiting her fate. She has a pivotal role with Robby in the final scene, becoming his sounding board. Dana tries to see if any of the nurses are willing to take her home for the night, but no one is. It’s unlikely baby Jane Doe returns in Season 3 as it’s likely she will have been moved to foster care by then. But we definitely need to understand what happened to her.

One of spring’s most unexpected trends is the return of track pants — and if you’re confused on how to style them outside of the gym, Hilary Duff has just given Us some ideas. The singer showed off her laid-back, cool mom style in a black and white pair. My favorite thing about the look? At just 5’2”, Duff proved that track pants can be a perfect pick for petites, no tailoring required.

Duff was recently spotted in the comfy pants while walking in Los Angeles. She turned the casual, sporty look into chic athleisure by pairing the pants with a cozy knit sweater, slim white sneakers and sleek designer accessories. Since I’m only 5’0”, I knew I needed to find them for myself. A little searching revealed what I think might be the same pair (or at least a pair that looks like hers, which is just as good): the Adidas Originals Essentials 3-Stripe Parachute Pants, which cost less than $50.

These Adidas track pants look nearly identical to Duff’s, with a similar loose, wide leg fit and the classic three-stripe design down the legs. They’re just as comfy and functional, too, featuring an adjustable elastic waistband for a perfect fit and three pockets to stash small essentials.

While the pants don’t come in petite sizes, Duff proves that this style can work for those of us on the shorter side. This pick appears to hit at the ankle, which means that for a petite person like myself, they’re basically the ideal length. I love the idea of being able to buy these without having to also pay to get them hemmed. And if you’re not petite, don’t worry — the pants still look super stylish with the slightly cropped fit.

Shoppers rave about how comfortable these bottoms feel. One titled their review, “absolutely LOVE these pants,” and wrote, “I expected the fabric to be stiffer and was pleasantly surprised to find they are lightweight track pant fabric that is soft and flowing.”

Another reviewer called them “perfect for traveling,” while someone else praised the petite-friendly design. “As someone with a long torso and short legs, these are the perfect length and especially with the bungee cords at the ankles, I don’t need to get anything hemmed,” they noted.

Soft, lightweight and flowy, these track pants are bound to be a staple in your spring and summer wardrobe. Snag them while you can — sizes are going fast!

You couldn’t escape them. They were in the malls. On television. Quoted in schools around the country. The Budweiser frogs, Bud, Weis, and Er, became immediate icons within minutes of their commercial debuting during the 1995 Super Bowl. Given that it was the year of the 49ers vs. the Chargers, it makes sense that a commercial would be the most memorable part.

What most people don’t know is that the commercial was the breakthrough for director Gore Verbinski, the mastermind behind the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. Who knew that three croaking frogs would wind up being the catalyst for Johnny Depp becoming a superstar? 

Bud. Weis. Er.

Gore Verbinski directing an award-winning commercial that turned Budweiser into the hottest brand in beer came a decade after he launched his career behind the camera with music videos, including Bad Religion’s “American Jesus” and Monster Magnet’s “Negasonic Teenage Warhead.” This is the moment a whole bunch of Deadpool 2 viewers nod their heads in understanding, as no, that name wasn’t as random as it seemed. 

The Budweiser frogs becoming a massive success and briefly America’s Favorite Mascots seemed random at the time. The trio, played by animatronic puppets, starred in more commercials long after Verbinski moved on to Hollywood with Mousetrap and a little horror movie called The Ring.

Eventually, more animals joined them, including a crocodile, a ferret, and a pair of chameleons. This was before the launch of social media, when commercials were a generation’s version of Instagram reels or TikToks, and one good catchphrase would be repeated over and over across every school in America. 

From Commercials To The Caribbean

Commercials of the 90s were cultural shorthand for what was popular and cool, which explains why Gore Verbinski was able to quickly pivot into features after the success of the Budweiser frogs. The team of Verbinski, Johnny Depp, and megaproducer Jerry Bruckheimer turned a movie based on one of Disney’s oldest rides into one of the most successful franchises in history. It was so successful that Verbinski and Depp were able to branch out into other genres together, making a pair of westerns together: Rango and The Lone Ranger. One of them was a success, and the other nearly destroyed both of their careers. 

Even with the failure of The Lone Ranger hanging over their careers, the threat (or promise, depending on how you feel about the last two Pirates movies), of another pairing of Verbinski and Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow is exciting to the series’ massive fanbase. Rumors of a sequel, a reboot, or even a gender-swapped film starring Margot Robbie, have been true, shot down, and outright canceled over the years to the point that no one will believe the pirates have set sail again until the opening credits hit the big screen. 

Budweiser would love to have another commercial go as viral as the frogs did back in 1995. Now the Super Bowl commercial arms race has become so emphasized by Hollywood that it’s hard to stand out amid a sea of A-list celebrity cameos. Verbinski won’t be going back to commercials anytime soon, especially not after the success of his latest film, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, but a trip to Tortuga is never out of the question.

Deep in the rain forests of Costa Rica is a commune run by a man known as Natureboy. Is it an off-the-grid utopia, or a modern-day cult compound? You can decide after watching the ABC News Studios docuseries The Cult of NatureBoy, which will premiere on Hulu on April 28. Collider is proud to exclusively present the first trailer for the series.

In the trailer, we’re introduced to Eligio Bishop, alias NatureBoy. With his charm and charisma, he’s accumulated a sizable following on social media. Starting in 2016, he started to recruit his followers into a movement called Carbon Nation, which intended to create a Black utopia in a remote region of Costa Rica, rejecting technology and society for a new way of living. However, as former members of Carbon Nation attest to in the trailer, it was no paradise. According to them, Bishop became increasingly violent and unstable, proclaiming himself a messiah.

The trailer features extensive footage from the group’s home base, which becomes increasingly disturbing as the series’ four episodes unfold. Eventually, online sleuths and the authorities bring the reign of NatureBoy to its shocking conclusion. You’ll see it all unfold for yourself when you tune into The Cult of NatureBoy on Hulu next week.

What Other True Crime Docuseries Are Streaming on Hulu?

Hulu offers a wealth of docuseries about a wide variety of shocking and unusual crimes. They include Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence, about the toxic influence one older man had over a group of college students; Scamanda, the tale of a blogger who raised thousands of dollars for cancer treatment despite being completely healthy; Never Let Him Go, the tale of a man’s decades-long search to solve his brother’s mysterious death; Captive Audience: A Real American Horror Story, which documents a young boy’s realization that he was a kidnap victim; and Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke, which details the fall from grace of a “mommy blogger” who was tried and convicted for extensive child abuse.

The Cult of NatureBoy is directed by Ben Zand and showrun by Lucie Ridout. Muriel Pearson executive produces, and David Sloan serves as senior executive producer. It is a production of ABC News Studios and Zandland.

The Cult of NatureBoy will premiere on Hulu on April 28. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

Apple TV is heading back into the For All Mankind universe, but this time it’s doing it from the other side of the space race. Star City has always had a pretty juicy hook: take the alt-history setup that powered one of Apple’s best sci-fi dramas and shift the focus behind the Iron Curtain, where every victory comes with paranoia baked into it. That alone was enough to make the spin-off interesting, but the final trailer makes it look even sharper than expected. Instead of just feeling like more of the same, Star City seems to be leaning into espionage, surveillance, and the human cost of trying to win history at any cost.

Apple officially debuted the trailer for the eight-episode series and confirmed that Star City will premiere globally on Friday, May 29, 2026, with its first two episodes. After that, one new episode will roll out every Friday through July 10. The show comes from Ben Nedivi, Matt Wolpert, and Ronald D. Moore, with Wolpert and Nedivi serving as showrunners and executive producers alongside Moore, Maril Davis, Andrew Chambliss, and Steve Oster. Sony Pictures Television is producing the series for Apple TV. The official synopsis states:

“Star City” is a propulsive paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race – when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers, and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humankind forward.

Who Is in ‘Star City’?

The cast is led by Rhys Ifans (House of the Dragon, Notting Hill), Anna Maxwell Martin (Motherland, Line of Duty), Agnes O’Casey (Black Doves, Lies We Tell), Alice Englert (Bad Behaviour, Beautiful Creatures), Solly McLeod (House of the Dragon, The Dead Don’t Hurt), Adam Nagaitis (Chernobyl, The Terror), Ruby Ashbourne Serkis (I, Jack Wright, The Serpent Queen), Josef Davies (Andor, The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself), and Priya Kansara (Bridgerton, Polite Society). It’s a strong cast that blends prestige TV veterans and newer talent, which is the right combination for a show that wants to expand an existing world without just photocopying it.

Star City debuts on Apple TV on May 29.

Sister Wives star Janelle Brown is walking around with a new title today, and it may strike you as odd. But fans of the TLC series know that Janelle has a great sense of humor, so when you see the title assigned to her name, you can’t help but smile.

Sister Wives: For Janelle Brown, It’s All In the Nose

Sister Wives fans follow Janelle Brown as her new life unfolds via her social media posts. Her new Taeda Farms venture should set her up in business for a long time. With her new house built, the ex-second wife of Kody Brown is in the decorating stage of her new abode today.

Now the land at the farm is all set to produce flowers, ones that Janelle plans to sell to make her dream become a productive business. Her love of flowers seemed to play a big part in her new title, as she is the person on top at Taeda Farms.

So for Janelle Brown, it is all in the nose. She is now the official “Flower Smeller,” which shows up on the home page for the farm. But that is just the first of her two titles; she is also the “grass grower.”

It is All in the Family for Janelle

While Janelle Brown is the Flower Smeller and Grass Grower, she needs help, as this is a huge undertaking. The Sister Wives star’s daughter, Maddie Brown Brush is also in business with her mom. She too gets a title at Taeda Farms.

Maddie is referred to as the mover and shaker for the farm, according to Janelle. Maddie’s double titles have her as the “Get It Done Guru” and “Chaos Coordinator.”

Janelle and Maddie are not the only ones with farm titles; Maddie’s husband Caleb Brush sounds as if he earned his the hard way. He is the “Obligatory Volunteer” and “Winging It Guy” at Taeda Farms. Sister Wives fans hope to see this trio in action on upcoming seasons.

Sister Wives: Job Descriptions

“Janelle is our farm’s resident dreamer, planner, and future flower whisperer.” That is the way she is described on the Taeda Farms website. Maddie’s title is also explained. Sister Wives fans see Maddie very much like what her title suggests.

The description continues with “She’s the go-getter behind the scenes, handling everything from ordering seeds to navigating the maze of permits. “And last, but certainly not least, there’s Caleb.

The description for the work he does at the farm is as follows: “Every farm needs a hero, and in our case, that hero is Caleb — though he may not have exactly volunteered for the job.”

But that’s not all. Caleb is also “the guy who magically appears when something heavy needs lifting or something’s broken (which, let’s be honest, is pretty much always). He’s our farm’s designated ‘fixer-upper’ and ‘muscle-for-hire,’ whether he likes it or not.”

Janelle, Maddie & Caleb Set Down Their Roots…

It sounds like Maddie makes sure Janelle’s dream continues to move forward. Plus, she makes things happen. It looks like Caleb gets roped into things. So much so that the home page for Taeda Farms admits this. But from what Maddie and Janelle convey, he’s one heck of a good sport.

When all is said and done, this Sister Wives ex-wife realizes her dream. And she does this with her family by her side helping her do so. Janelle and her family set down roots in North Carolina, not just for themselves but for beautiful flowers that you may one day have on your table at home. And if so, it is likely Taeda Farms “Flower Smeller” had a whiff of them before they started on the journey to your house.

In case you were wondering what Taeda stands for, here it is. The name is inspired by the local pine trees.

Head back to Soap Dirt for the latest buzz on Sister Wives.

By your command, the best science fiction series of the 2000s is finally coming back to streaming. Initially, it was a controversial reboot of a short-lived but beloved cult classic TV show of the 1970s, but it soon evolved into its own entity. Now, it’s coming to two streaming services, and on one of them, you can watch it for free.

Starting on May 1, the 2000s Sci-Fi Channel reboot of Battlestar Galactica is finally returning to streaming. Thanks to NBCU Global TV Distribution, Pluto TV and Paramount+ will both host the two-part, three-hour miniseries that kicked off the reboot, as well as the four-season series that followed; Pluto TV will show it as part of their free, ad-supported streaming service, with a dedicated Battlestar Galactica channel. They will also stream Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, a movie-length special that features both new footage and reused footage from the miniseries and series to retell the Cylon infiltration from the point of view of the Cylons. Plus, Paramount+ will be the exclusive streaming home of Caprica, the short-lived prequel series that depicted the birth of the marauding robotic Cylons and showed a glimpse of the 12 Colonies before their untimely devastation.

What Is ‘Battlestar Galactica’ About?

A dramatic reimagining of the campy but fondly remembered 1970s TV series, Battlestar Galactica tells the tale of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, an alliance of human-occupied planets, and the robotic Cylons who destroyed them. The ragtag survivors of the Colonies flee aboard the Galactica, a Battlestar warship that leads a battered civilian fleet on a desperate search for the 13th colony: a legendary world called “Earth.” Captained by William Adama (Edward James Olmos, Blade Runner), and led by newly appointed President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell, Independence Day), the remnants of humanity still have to deal with the Cylons.

However, while most of the Cylons resemble the sleek, chrome-plated mechanical marauders of the original series, they also have a secret weapon: a new model of Cylon that can perfectly mimic human beings, like the seductive Number Six (Tricia Helfer, Lucifer). Any one of Galactica‘s crew could be Cylons, including hotshot pilots Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff, The Mandalorian) and Boomer (Grace Park, Hawaii Five-0), shifty scientist Gaius Baltar (James Callis, 12 Monkeys) and even Adama’s son, Lee (Jamie Bamber, Band of Brothers).

The original Battlestar Galactica series was the brainchild of TV impresario Glen A. Larson (Knight Rider), who was inspired by Mormon theology. The reboot was masterminded by Ronald D. Moore (For All Mankind).

Battlestar Galactica will stream on Pluto TV and Paramount+ starting on May 1. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

Southern Hospitality’s Mia Alario is adding to the ongoing intrigue surrounding the newfound romance between Summer House stars West Wilson and Amanda Batula.

During a Wednesday, April 22, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Mia, 28, said she went on a date with West, 31, last September, but he had been hanging out with Amanda, 34, beforehand.

“I was cast in that dragnet that he threw across New York City,” Mia said of her brief courtship with West.

She then added, “Looking back at it, it was still a fun time. I will say it was a fun time. Did I know his morale? No.”

According to Mia, before their date, West was drinking with Amanda in his apartment. In January, Amanda announced her separation from husband Kyle Cooke after four years of marriage.

“I met Amanda at BravoCon and she actually told me that they pregamed our date at his apartment,” Mia claimed. “At the time, I was like, ‘Oh, you’re such a good friend. That sounds like such a good time.’”

Mia continued, “She was like, ‘Oh, I gave him some advice and some tips.’ I was like, girl, did we get the same tip or what? Damn. Now looking back at it, it’s a messy situation and I don’t want any part of that at all.”

West and Amanda went public with their burgeoning relationship in March, blindsiding Bravo fans and their fellow Summer House costars. Since breaking the news, there has been much speculation about the timeline of their relationship, particularly when they began dating.

During a Monday, April 20, appearance on the “Show Me Something” podcast, West denied that he and Amanda were in relationships when things turned romantic between them. (West previously dated costar Ciara Miller, one of Amanda’s friends.)

“There was no overlap,” he said, adding that he and Amanda “realized things were maybe a little bit serious” in February.

He said, “I know there’s a thousand different theories on the internet right now, but that is one thing that for sure did not happen. Everyone was single.”

In their March statement, Amanda and West said that their relationship was “still very new.”

“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. … We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” they wrote via Instagram at the time. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

Nikki Glaser has made a major life change, and she is fully embracing it. After years of living in Los Angeles and keeping up with the fast-paced demands of Hollywood, the comedian decided to return to St. Louis, the place she has always called home. 

The move came after the pandemic and quickly turned into a permanent shift. Now, instead of chasing status and industry pressure, Nikki is enjoying a calmer, more relaxed life surrounded by family, friends, and familiar faces.

Nikki Glaser made the life-changing decision to leave Los Angeles in 2022, choosing instead to return to St. Louis, where she spent much of her childhood. 

After years of living in a fast-moving entertainment hub, the comedian wanted a complete reset. 

The transition was even documented on her reality series “Welcome Home Nikki Glaser?,” which gave fans a glimpse into her return to a more familiar environment alongside her parents.

Speaking about the move during her April 22 appearance on “Live With Kelly and Mark”, Nikki explained per PEOPLE, “I live in St. Louis,” adding, “I moved back to St. Louis after Covid and kind of just got away from it all and stayed there.” 

Her decision wasn’t impulsive as it came after years of navigating a lifestyle that demanded constant visibility and comparison. 

Nikki Surrounds Herself With Familiar Faces And Family

Returning home allowed Nikki Glaser to reconnect with the people who have known her long before fame. 

While promoting her comedy special “Good Girl,” which was filmed in St. Louis, she shared how meaningful it was to perform in front of a crowd filled with familiar faces.

“Lots of people from high school, people from my pilates class, my self-tan lady from the strip mall. But it was fun,” she told hosts Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa. 

The experience brought a different kind of comfort, even if it came with a bit of humor about how much her audience now knew about her personal life. 

“It’s fine that my childhood dentist knows about my sex life now. I guess that’s appropriate,” the 41-year-old joked.

More importantly, going back home allowed her to spend quality time with her parents. Nikki noted that the move gave her the chance to “focus on my family while they’re still around and healthy, and want to hang out with me,” a priority that had become increasingly important.

Nikki Glaser Finds Freedom Away From Status And Comparison

One of the biggest reasons behind Nikki’s move was the culture she experienced while living on the coasts. 

According to her, life in cities like Los Angeles and New York often revolved around competition and appearances. 

In August 2025, she described it plainly during a conversation on “St. Louis on the Air,” saying, “When I’m on both of the coasts, it’s like constantly comparing yourself, and everyone’s just really chasing that status.”

Back in St. Louis, that dynamic shifted entirely. The “FBoy Island” star explained, “Here [in St. Louis], it just feels a bit more relaxed, and I get back to what’s important: having a good time and going out to eat.” 

In her hometown, social clout and industry recognition carry far less weight, something she found refreshing. 

“That’s not here, and that’s not what people value here. And it just recalibrates me,” Nikki added.

Nikki Reflects On Her Journey From Midwest Roots To Stardom

Although Nikki Glaser now calls St. Louis home, her journey began elsewhere. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, before her family relocated to Missouri, where she grew up in the suburb of Kirkwood. 

Her early years in comedy were deeply tied to the Midwest, something her father, EJ Glaser, reflected on in a 2025 interview with FirstAlert4.

“She worked out of our house while driving all over the Midwest to do comedy,” he recalled, adding, “Her work ethic is just amazing. I’m so proud of her.” 

That determination eventually paid off, leading to Nikki’s first stand-up special in 2016 and a successful career that has included hosting major events like the Golden Globe Awards.

Nikki Glaser Joins Growing Trend Of Celebrities Leaving Hollywood

Nikki is far from alone in stepping away from Los Angeles. In recent years, several high-profile figures have made similar moves, citing issues such as overcrowding, the cost of living, and lifestyle pressures. 

Comedian Joe Rogan famously left the city, explaining per the Daily Mail, “I want to go somewhere in the center of the country… somewhere you have a little more freedom,” while also pointing to challenges like traffic and overpopulation.

Actor Mark Wahlberg also relocated his family to Nevada, seeking what he described as a “better life,” while Hilary Swank moved to Colorado during the pandemic and embraced a quieter lifestyle on a ranch. 

Josh Brolin followed a similar path, relocating to Atlanta with his family while maintaining ties to California. 

For Nikki, the decision wasn’t about leaving her career behind but reshaping how it fits into her life.
