“Comedian Nikki Glaser, First Eliminated on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ Hilariously Pitches a ‘Losers Season’ Where Early-Exit Celebs Get a Wild Second Chance With New Pro Partners and Fresh Rivalries”
Nikki Glaser, who was the first boot on Season 27, says she’d gladly return for a special season of redemption—bringing back the show’s earliest eliminations for another shot at ballroom glory.
Comedian Nikki Glaser is ready to lace up her dance shoes again—but with a twist only she could dream up.
Glaser, who was famously the first celebrity eliminated from Dancing With the Stars Season 27, has been joking about her short-lived run ever since. Now, she’s pitching a bold idea to ABC: a “losers season” where the first- and second-week eliminations from past seasons return to the ballroom for a chance at redemption.
“I’m the first announced cast member of that season that I just made up,” Glaser quipped in an interview, explaining she envisions a dramatic competition where underdogs get paired with new professional partners—and maybe even stir up some fresh rivalries.
Despite her early exit, Glaser insists she loved the show and would happily return. On her Nikki Glaser Podcast, she fleshed out the idea further, suggesting a season focused on hard work, second chances, and humor rather than polished perfection.
Her lighthearted proposal has already caught the attention of fans online, who think a redemption season could be one of the show’s most entertaining twists yet. Whether ABC takes the bait or not, Glaser’s candid self-awareness and signature wit have once again made her a fan favorite—off the dance floor, if not on it.
