Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser rips Alec Baldwin, Nicole Kidman with sexy TV comedy
Nikki Glaser basked in the glory of hosting the 2025 Golden Globes with Howard Stern on Monday and revealed a few jokes left in the cutting room.
Glaser, 40, told Stern that “every joke was memorized” during his opening monologue, in which he celebrated “Ozempic’s biggest night,” before mocking Ben Affleck and Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The comedian, who is known for roasting Tom Brady, admitted that he was afraid of “cancellation” of some of the content written for the awards show but chose to tell Stern jokes.

“I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you what jokes you left out last night. I’m always curious about that show,” Stern said. “So, there were jokes you liked, but couldn’t keep up with or, for some reason, avoided doing. Do you have a few examples?”
GOLDEN GLOBES 2025: FINISH THE LIST
“Yes, I have many examples, but feel free to cut me off at any time,” Glaser said.
“I put together a little little list for you because, yeah, some of them were just like, they were in the writers’ room. They were getting loud and they were like, ‘We can’t say that on TV. That to these people’s faces.’ So I would go, ‘Move it to a hard file.’
Nicole Kidman
The 57-year-old actress, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in “Babygirl,” had a joke about her that ended up being hidden, according to Glaser. “This … we were shooting a promo, and they almost aired it on CBS, and it was like, that’s going to get me canceled,” Glaser admitted.
“‘The Wild Robot’ is nominated tonight, and by that I mean it Nicole Kidman after two white wines.”
Glaser also admitted, “I wish we could have done that, but if he looked at the face … I think he would have been happy about it, but you never know.”
Alec Baldwin
Baldwin, 66, was not present at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, but there was a joke about him that was also axed.
“Michael Keaton was the star of ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.’ Again Alec Baldwin what’s sad is that he didn’t come back to play the ghost because he was busy doing it.”

Nicolas Cage
Cage, a multiple Golden Globe Award winner, presented the best picture – music/comedy award on Sunday and may have been on the receiving end of Glaser’s comedy.
“Nicolas Cage is here tonight looking well rested after a night of sleeping in Elvis’ casket.”
“Nicolas Cage is there with a skeleton crew following him playing ragtime jazz.”
Dax Shepard
Shepard, 50, joined his wife, Kristen Bell, at the 2025 Golden Globes and cracked jokes on his celebrity-studded podcast.
“The Golden Globes is the only show where you can see the biggest stars in movies and television come together with a common goal: Get out of here tonight before Dax Shepard asks them to do his podcast.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was not at the awards show and is currently being held in Brooklyn on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
“It’s the last time you’re all in the same room together before Diddy’s trial.”
Stern asked, “Why didn’t you use that joke?”
“We had some references to Diddy that worked better and led us to other jokes. You only get one from Diddy,” Glaser said. “You don’t want to do that because you suspect the people here in the room are involved in that, and they might turn on you because of that.”
‘Only Killing in the Building’
Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez were each nominated for Golden Globe Awards at Sunday’s ceremony. Martin and Short, along with co-star Meryl Streep, were teased, but the joke was left out of Glaser’s song.
“‘Only Killing in a Building’ is amazing, and I think it’s so great that legends like Steve Martin, Martin Short and Meryl Streep are still going on, giving some of the best of their careers. It’s very inspiring, and I’m just showing you guys that you’re too old to need money anymore, please don’t fight and Jake Paul at the top of Hawk Tuah’s crypto program?”
