Nikki Glaser breaks the ice with bold humor
Nikki Glaser didn’t hold back at the Golden Globes this year, making quite the entrance with her hilarious opening monologue. The 40-year-old comedian claimed that the event was officially “Ozempic’s biggest night.” This remark was a cheeky nod to the medication that everyone’s been chatting about in Tinseltown, poking fun at its recent rise to fame among celebs. Glaser was the first woman to take the solo hosting reigns at the Globes, a gig that many eyes are on, considering it tends to set the tone for the awards season ahead. “I’m absolutely thrilled to be your host tonight,” she declared, with a cheeky grin. “A room full of producers in at the Beverly Hilton and this time I have all my clothes on.”
Glaser charms audience while keeping it real
Known for her dark humour and witty roast style, Glaser took jabs at various targets without truly roasting anyone. As she wandered through the crowd of stars, she joked about the recent Hollywood sex scandals and voting, sending chuckles rippling through the audience. When addressing Zendaya, she noted, “I woke up for all of your scenes in Dune Part Two,” which got a hearty laugh. Glaser even cheekily described the film “Challengers” as being “more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card.” In an amusing twist, she contrasted the after-party vibes, downplaying a potential low-key affair by saying, “A Stanley Tucci ‘freak-off’ just doesn’t have the same ring to it… No baby oil this year just lots of olive oil.” Pretty clever, Nikki!

As the laughter echoed through the venue, Glaser switched gears to offer a compliment to Tilda Swinton, jokingly likening her to Timothee Chalamet—which left folks puzzled and laughing at the same time. “You were great as Timothee Chalamet too this year… can I just say you have the most beautiful eyelashes on your upper lip?” she quipped. The gallant Glen Powell also got some love when she stated, “What a year you’ve had! Glenn, you were in everything: Twisters, Hitman, my head when I’m having sex with my boyfriend.” The comedic jab left the audience in stitches, and you could see Powell grinning wide, joining in on the fun. Earlier, Glaser described her excitement about hosting, comparing it to feeling “42 weeks pregnant” and ready to deliver her material. Quite a metaphor, I must say!
Nikki Glaser’s performance at the Golden Globes was a mix of sharp wit, cheeky jabs, and playful teasing that resonated with the audience. She skillfully navigated the line between risqué and relatable humour, establishing herself as a memorable host. As the first solo female host of the event, her boldness and comedic style have set a new bar for future ceremonies, while also weaving in her personal brand of humour that keeps everyone guessing.
