Nikki Glaser Details Golden Globes Jokes She Cut After Hosting

She said she steered clear of political references to keep the tone right.

Overview

  • In a Jan. 13 Howard Stern interview, Glaser read from her “Stern file” of gags removed from the Jan. 11 broadcast.
  • She said she avoided explicit politics, shelving ICE material and a “Trump Beverly Hilton” line and declining to say the president’s name.
  • Steve Martin sent a Kennedy Center gag that both he and Glaser later agreed didn’t fit the night’s tone.
  • Cut targets included Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Julia Roberts, Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Bailey, with lines dropped after weak test reactions, sensitivity concerns or because the subjects weren’t in the room.
  • She scrapped an AI Tilly Norwood sexual‑assault joke over tone concerns and suggested that revealing cut material could become a post‑show tradition.
