Nikki Glaser Opens Golden Globes With Barbs at CBS and Epstein Files

The returning host fused celebrity roasts with media criticism tied to DOJ redactions and CBS’ recent editorial decisions.

Overview

  • Emceeing the 83rd ceremony at the Beverly Hilton, Glaser began with a mock auction of Warner Bros., nodding to Hollywood’s business anxieties.
  • She referenced the redacted Jeffrey Epstein materials with the line that the Golden Globe for best editing went to the Justice Department.
  • Glaser needled the broadcaster carrying the show, calling CBS NewsAmerica’s newest place to see BS news,” a joke linked by outlets to a pulled 60 Minutes segment and leadership changes.
  • Her roasts ranged across the room, including Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating history, George Clooney’s Nespresso ads, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart’s duo, Timothée Chalamet’s ping‑pong role, and Michael B. Jordan’s twin turn.
  • Clips of the monologue drew swift traction on social platforms with strong praise and some pushback, and there were no immediate consequences reported.
