Comedian and roastmaster Nikki Glaser recently stopped by The Howard Stern Show to discuss her recent Golden Globes hosting performance. The performance, which has received favorable notices, was not without its cuts.
Glaser developed a system for weeding out jokes that went too far, referring to them as “stuff for the Stern file.” This approach allowed her team to decide what could be said on TV and what needed to be left off-camera.
Some of the jokes that were ultimately cut focused on specific celebrities, such as Dax Shepard and Nicolas Cage. Others were deemed too broad or general, targeting multiple celebrities at once.
However, Glaser did manage to bring some clever commentary to the ceremony, including a jab at Hollywood’s beauty standards and a humorous observation about Squid Game. Despite being her first big awards hosting gig, Glaser showed impressive skill and poise.
The performance is widely seen as an improvement over last year’s host, Jo Koy, who struggled with his opening monologue and later criticized his own writers for the jokes that bombed.
