(NewsNation) — Nikki Haskell, President Trump’s best friend and the original talk show host is coming to Roku.
Haskell, who has been dubbed “the Grandfluencer” for her “Words of Wisdom” and “Storytime chats” (in which she dishes on the biggest and boldest names in NYC and Beverly Hills) on TikTok is so popular, Roku has picked up the back catalog of her erstwhile talk show “The Nikki Haskell Show” which she would host out of places like Studio 54 or a Hell’s Angel biker rally… as well as her latest project, a podcast, with the same name.
”I’ve got 60 new and old shows going up,” Haskell told me.
“It was all so good — the time I was with the Hell’s Angels going from 11th street to 42nd street at their rally, and the show at Donald and Ivana Trump’s apartment.”

Nikki Haskell interviewed Gina Lollobrigida
One of the best episodes was when Haskell interviewed the Italian bombshell Gina Lollobrigida and asked: “Do you sleep with all your leading men?”
To which Lollobrigida shot back: “No darling, I only sleep with the directors.”
