Nikki Glaser dazzled audiences with her sharp wit while hosting the 2025 Golden Globes, dishing out laughs at the expense of Diddy, Ben Affleck, and Timothée Chalamet’s mustache. However, not all of her punchlines made it to the live broadcast, and she revealed some of her edgier cuts during an appearance on Howard Stern's SiriusXM show.
Glaser's attempt to address Diddy, who is currently embroiled in serious legal issues, included a potential zinger that never saw the light of day: "This is the last time all of you will be in the same room together until the Diddy trial." She opted against this line because it implicated other attendees amid serious accusations against the music mogul.
Instead, she cheekily remarked that the film "Challengers" featured more sexual energy than Diddy’s bank account, adding a touch of humor to an otherwise heavy topic. Highlighting Diddy’s ongoing controversies, Glaser cleverly remarked, "The after-party isn’t going to be as good this year, but we have to move on!"
Among her aborted jokes was one targeting the Catholic Church while referencing the film "Conclave." She playfully said it was so engaging that it would likely be moved to a different theater. However, Glaser chose to scrap it due to the commonality of such jokes surrounding the church's scandals.
In a moment of creative brilliance, Glaser hinted at a second punchline for Adrien Brody that referenced historical events in a darkly comedic way: "If Adrien Brody could go back in time, he would thank baby Hitler for his career." Although she found it hilarious, a generational gap in understanding led her to remove it from her set.
Glaser also had a tongue-in-cheek jibe regarding Luigi Mangione, a suspect in a high-profile murder case, linking the actor Glen Powell to the film "Hit Man" and quipping about being the second-funniest hitman in America.
She didn't hold back on poking fun at Nicole Kidman and Timothée Chalamet either. Glaser cheekily compared Kidman to a "Wild Robot" after a couple of drinks—a joke she feared might earn a frosty reception from the actress herself. For Chalamet, she initially planned to aim for a more cutting commentary on his method acting preparation for portraying Bob Dylan but settled for a safer jab at his mustache.
One of her most electrifying cuts involved a play on Alec Baldwin's role in "Rust," conceding that while it was a great joke, it crossed the line of decency.
Despite the razor's edge of some of her jokes, Glaser’s performance was met with enthusiasm, prompting Golden Globes executive producer Glenn Weiss to express interest in bringing her back for future ceremonies. “We had a great experience with her and think that she would be great at this in the long term,” he remarked.
Overall, the night was a testament to Glaser’s comedic prowess, balancing humor and sensitivity amidst Hollywood's heavyweights. As the audience reflected on her boldness, one can't help but wonder how history might have changed if these wild jokes had aired. Stay tuned for Nikki Glaser's future projects; there's no telling what she might say next!
