Nikki Glaser Reveals Jokes She Cut from Golden Globes 2026

by

Nikki Glaser had her own list of what to never say on television.

The host of the 2026 Golden Globes shared some jokes that didn’t make it into the January 11th show. She teased Leonardo DiCaprio about being hard to find and made Michael B. Jordan’s mother a little embarrassed. However, she didn’t make any jokes about Brad Pitt, as he wasn’t a nominee and didn’t attend the ceremony.

Nikki recently discussed the double standards in Hollywood, pointing out that Brad Pitt is up for an award for playing a racecar driver in a film. She joked that while men are given exciting roles like this even as they get older, women over 35 are often limited to playing unhappy mothers.

The speaker, 41 years old, playfully told Brad he was a convincing driver, almost believing he’d been driving for decades. However, she then pointed out that Brad had kept his turn signal on throughout the entire scene, gently teasing him about it.

The comedian also cut a quip about One Battle After Another star Chase Infiniti and her unique name.

Nikki explained that if you sign up today, you’ll receive 5% cash back on all travel booked before the year is over. She encouraged listeners to take advantage of the offer right away.

During the awards show, she playfully teased her OBAA co-star, Sean Penn, while announcing the nominee for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. She joked that Chase Infiniti Payne, the character’s name, was actually how Sean Penn became aroused.

Nikki was excited to present an award to Jean Smart, who won Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy.

Nikki mentioned that some performers use stage names – for example, Jean Smart, known as ‘Hacks’ star, was actually born with the name Corduroy Dumbass.

Nikki quickly realized she couldn’t make jokes about presenter Julia Roberts. She discovered this while testing out her stand-up routine at comedy clubs in Los Angeles.

Nikki explained to Gayle King on CBS Mornings that jokes about Julia Roberts are off-limits. She considers Roberts ‘America’s Sweetheart’ and said any joke she tells about her is carefully crafted and sensitive because of that.

She added, “They were booing, and I was like, ‘Is she here?’ It’s insane.”

As the host, Nikki is careful not to offend any celebrities who are watching the show when she makes jokes.

It’s a tricky balance – you need to make jokes without upsetting anyone, but also give the audience something to enjoy. They especially want you to playfully tease the famous celebrities everyone’s already talking about.
