Career
Ziering was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for September 1997. She appeared on the cover twice, first in August 1997, then in July 2003, along with a feature pictorial.

Ever since Nikki’s departure a different model has handed off the mic to Bob/Drew each day as the rotation cast of models was implemented in the wake of her departure along with fellow models Heather Kozar and Claudia Jordan leaving as well.
