Nikki Glaser Reveals Cut Jokes from Golden Globes to Howard Stern

Comic Nikki Glaser recently appeared on The Howard Stern Show to discuss her experience hosting the Golden Globe Awards for a second consecutive year. During the conversation, she revealed the political jokes that were ultimately cut from her set, including material suggested by comedy legend Steve Martin.

Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes Experience

Glaser’s hosting duties earned her praise for maneuvering the evening between roasting Hollywood figures and entertaining both the audience in the venue and viewers at home. However, she opted to avoid political humor during the ceremony, stating, “It’s not funny.”

Absence of Political Jokes

Glaser explained her decision to sidestep jokes about the political climate, including one about the renovation of the Trump Kennedy Center into the “Trump Beverly Hilton.” She noted that even mentioning the president felt too political. Steve Martin had advised her against using the joke, stating that it did not fit the evening’s tone.

Key Highlights and Unused Jokes

Despite her decision to forgo certain jokes, Glaser managed to include a witty remark about CBS. She quipped, “The award for most editing goes to CBS News. Yes. CBS News: America’s newest place to ‘see B.S.’ news.” This statement referenced the network’s decision to cut a segment critical of the Trump administration.

Glaser also discussed her past babysitting for Judd Apatow and expressed her hopes of collaborating with him on a film. She shared her thoughts on how her career has evolved since those early days.

Jokes That Didn’t Make the Show

During her appearance on Stern’s show, Glaser also revealed several sharp one-liners that were ultimately not included in her monologue:

• “Chase Infiniti is nominated for best actress tonight, and Chase Infiniti is her real name. If you apply now, you can earn 5 percent cash back on all travel bookings through her until the end of the year.”
• “Chase Infiniti Pain is actually her real name. Chase Infiniti Pain, which is also how Sean Penn gets an erection.”
• “Some people have stage names like Hacks star Jean Smart, whose real name is Corduroy Dumbass.”
• “Brad Pitt is nominated for his role in F1 tonight. In Hollywood, when a man turns 60, he plays a racecar driver. Meanwhile, after 35, every woman’s role is a tired mom. Brad, you were so convincing, I thought you’d driven yourself somewhere in the last 30 years.”

Conclusion

As Glaser continues her residency at the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas alongside David Spade, her unique blend of wit and charm renders her a standout figure in the comedy scene. Viewers can look forward to more memorable performances in the future.
