The blonde babe also took a jab at Leonardo DiCaprio, who is known for dating younger women. "What a career you have had. Countless iconic performances. You've worked with every great director, you've won three Golden Globes and an Oscar. The most impressive thing is that you were able to accomplish that all before your girlfriend turned 30," she began. Glaser added, "Leo, I'm sorry I made that joke. It is cheap. I tried not to, but, like, we don't know anything else about you, man. There's nothing else. Open up! I'm serious! I looked! I searched! The most in-depth interview you've ever given was for Teen Beat magazine in 1991. Is your favorite food still 'Pasta, pasta and more pasta?'"

This isn't the first time Glaser has joked about Epstein.
While hosting Saturday Night Live in 2025, she mentioned the dead pedophile. "In my 20s, I just feared good old-fashioned rape. I didn't think it would be a career. We didn't think it was anything more than a temp job at a frat house futon," Glaser, 41, said. "They're like, 'We're safer when you're with us because they think you're our madam. You have resting Ghislaine [Maxwell] face, so keep that up.'"She then joked about potentially crossing the line after her nephew wanted to "shower" with her. "My sister's like, 'He can take a shower with you. It's fine. He does it with us,'" she said. "'OK, that's fine for you guys, but are you okay with an adult showering with your child? ... What if I molest him?' She was like, 'Would you?' I was like, 'No! I would never! That's disgusting! But that's what I'd say if I was gonna.'""Don't trust anyone. I don't even trust myself," Glaser continued. "I don't want to go in there. How do you become a pedophile? You don't get to choose what you're into, dude. What if it's one of those things you don't know you until you get in there, and you're like, 'Well, this is my thing,' 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've been like, 'I would never do that.' And now I'm like, 'Looks kind of fun, actually."
