Nikki Glaser's Hilarious Take on Hollywood's Big Night

Nikki Glaser brought the house down at the 2026 Golden Globes, her second time hosting the star-studded event. She kicked things off with a playful jab at her return, saying:

"Just like 'Wicked,' I'm back for a sequel."

Glaser had to tread carefully with some jokes, especially one about Julia Roberts. She found out that audiences are very protective of the beloved actress. So, she tweaked her approach, saying:

"Just like the podcasters nominated tonight, I should not be allowed to be this close to Julia Roberts."

This got a big laugh.

Glaser didn't hold back with other A-listers, though. She teased Leonardo DiCaprio about his dating history, saying:

"The most impressive thing is that you were able to accomplish that all before your girlfriend turned 30."

She also took shots at Jennifer Lawrence, Sean Penn, and even CBS for pulling a controversial news segment. One of her best lines was:

"CBS News: America's newest place to see BS news."

The Golden Globes introduced a new category this year: Best Podcast. Glaser had some fun with this, spoofing an iconic AMC ad. She acted out the frustration of listening to a podcast only to be hit with ads. She also performed a musical number, mixing lyrics from a nominated film with a popular song. Fran Drescher, known for her role in "The Nanny," interrupted her, saying:

"You have to stop singing, your voice is so annoying."

Glaser's humor was sharp and clever, but it also made people think. She didn't just go for easy laughs; she took risks and pushed boundaries. This is what makes her a standout host. She knows how to balance humor with a critical eye, making her performances memorable.
