'Dancing with the Stars:' Comedian Nikki Glaser eliminated in first round after inappropriate joke

Glaser - who is Amy Schumer's best friend - was partnered with Gleb Savchenko in ABC's hit reality TV show.
PUBLISHED SEP 26, 2018

ABC's 'Dancing with the Stars' just eliminated its first celebrity contestant from the show - all for an inappropriate joke made by her on the live Tuesday night results show. Going home within just two episodes into the 27th season of the series is comedian Nikki Glaser, who decided to tell host Tom Bergeron right before her elimination that she had "a lot of rejection in my life and a lot of rough sets."

Bergeron, since it's a prime time family show, clarified right away that Glaser had said "rough sets," not "sex." However, Nikki didn't help matters, and proceeded to quip that she's "had both."

The audience reaction to the joke said it all, as they took to subtly slamming the barely right for prime time joke, with ample groans. What was even more so particularly cringe-worthy was the fact that this was the night that DWTS was about to promote the adorable contestants of their upcoming spinoff, 'DWTS: Juniors.'
