Nikki Glaser's Cutting Golden Globes Jokes Revealed

Nikki Glaser understands the art of playing to your audience. The comedian and roastmaster is currently basking in a wave of favorable notices for her Golden Globes hosting performance last night. Today, she stopped by The Howard Stern Show to reveal all the cutting quips that her team eventually decided, "We can't say that on TV. We cannot say that to people's faces."

Glaser's System for Cutting Edgy Jokes

Glaser developed a system for weeding out the cracks that went too far. Whenever Glaser came across an edgier joke, she told host Howard Stern, "I'd go, 'move it to the Stern file. We can do it on Stern.'" This ensured that the jokes were well-received by the Golden Globes audience.

Cutting Jokes for Specific Reasons

Some of the jokes were presumably cut because they honed in on a particular celebrity too directly, while others were deemed inadmissible for implicating too many celebrities in a single dig. Glaser also focused on ensembles with some of her jokes, like the one about "Only Murders in the Building."

Glaser's Approach to Hosting

Glaser opened with a crack at Hollywood's punishing beauty standards and had witty remarks planned for various aspects of the ceremony. Her performance was seen as an improvement over last year's host, Jo Koy, and she ranked at the top of Entertainment Weekly's best moments of the night.

Even with this being Glaser's first big awards ceremony hosting gig, she delivered a stellar performance that left a lasting impression on the audience.
