BIO
Nikki Boyer is the Executive Producer of the FX limited series Dying for Sex, now streaming on Hulu and starring Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate. Based on the hit Wondery podcast she co-created, the series was recently nominated for a Gotham Award for Best Limited Series, with Jenny Slate winning Best Supporting Performance for her portrayal of Nikki. The deeply personal story follows Nikki’s real-life journey with her best friend, Molly, who was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and chose to embark on a bold, transformative adventure of sexual and emotional healing. The original podcast, produced by Wondery, won the 2021 Ambies Award for Podcast of the Year. Nikki developed the TV adaptation alongside Emmy-winner Liz Meriwether (The Dropout), who serves as showrunner, and Kim Rosenstock (Only Murders in the Building).
A three-time Emmy® Award-winning host, Nikki has recorded over 600 podcast episodes and hosted several acclaimed series for Wondery, including Call Me Curious, The Daily Smile, and Straight Talk with Ross Mathews. She’s brought her signature warmth and humor to daytime television as a guest co-host on The Drew Barrymore Show, Access Hollywood Live, and The Talk, and spent eight seasons as a correspondent on The Wendy Williams Show. She became a digital media favorite as the Webby Award-winning host of Yahoo!’s Daytime in No Time, which drew nearly a billion views over five years.
As an actress, Nikki has appeared in Gilmore Girls, 90210, and The L Word, and will also appear in FX’s Dying for Sex. She served as Co-Executive Producer on Step Girlfriends, a scripted comedy based on her life, developed by CBS Studios.
