UTA Loses Glaser and Cooper, Extending a Three-Year Client Exodus

UTA lost Nikki Glaser to WME and Alex Cooper — expected at CAA — in summer 2026, per Variety. The departures follow three years of losses including Greta Gerwig, Ben Stiller, Kevin Hart and Judd Apatow. CEO David Kramer told staff the exits hurt but urged moving on. UTA explored a July merger with The Team; no deal resulted.
