Nikki Glaser Reveals Cut Golden Globes Jokes on ICE and Trump

Nikki Glaser, the host of the Golden Globes, appeared on “The Howard Stern Show” to discuss jokes that did not make her monologue. Among the excluded jokes were punchlines related to ICE and Donald Trump. Glaser explained her hesitance to include political humor, stating, “It’s not funny.”

Golden Globes Context

The Golden Globes took place just days after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, in Minneapolis. This incident incited nationwide protests and controversy over claims of self-defense from the Trump administration.

Celebrity Responses

• Several celebrities, including Mark Ruffalo, Natasha Lyonne, and Wanda Sykes, wore pins saying “Ice Out” and “Be Good” to honor Renee Good.

Cut Jokes and Political Sensitivity

In her discussion with Stern, Glaser recounted initial plans to joke about the award venue being renamed the “Trump Beverly Hilton” due to prior political controversies. However, she ultimately chose to avoid mentioning the president to maintain a respectful tone. Comedian Steve Martin had previously shared this joke but later cautioned her against using it.

On-Air Highlights

Despite omitting certain political jokes, Glaser delivered several notable lines during her segment. One joke garnered applause: “The award for most editing goes to CBS News.” This referred to the incident where CBS’s editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, killed a segment on deportees being sent to a prison in El Salvador.

Additional Cut Jokes

Here are some other jokes that Glaser revealed were left out of her performance:

• “Chase Infiniti is nominated for best actress tonight, and Chase Infiniti is her real name.”
• “Some people have stage names like ‘Hacks’ star Jean Smart, whose real name is Corderoy Dumbass.”
• “Brad Pitt is nominated for his role in ‘F1’ tonight. When a man turns 60, he gets to play a racecar driver. Meanwhile, after 35, every role for a woman is a tired mom who hates her life.”
• “Tonight is a night of celebration, but we can’t ignore that it’s a weird time in Hollywood.”

Glaser’s reflections illustrate the complexity of balancing humor with sensitivity to ongoing social issues. Her decision to cut politically charged jokes reflects a broader awareness prevalent in entertainment circles today.
