Nikki Glaser has shared the jokes she omitted from her Golden Globes performance.
Nikki Glaser cut a joke about Brad Pitt from her Golden Globes performance.
The 41-year-old comedian returned to host the annual awards ceremony over the weekend, but Nikki has now revealed that she worked on a joke about Brad, 62, for the show before she decided to axe it.
During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Nikki shared the joked, saying: “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.
“Brad, you were so good enough when I was almost convinced that you’ve driven yourself somewhere in the last 30 years. But Brad did a lot of his own driving in the movie. And Brad, I don’t want to embarrass you, but your blinker was on the whole time.”
Nikki also planned to joke about Sydney Sweeney if she attended the ceremony.
The comedian planned to joke: “Tonight is a night of celebration but we can’t ignore that it’s a weird time in Hollywood. People just aren’t going to the theatre to see things. If you don’t believe me, there was a movie this year where Sydney Sweeney played a lesbian who just bounced around in tiny shorts for two hours and it made $14.”
Prior to the ceremony, Nikki explained that she hoped to strike the “perfect note” at the Golden Globes.
She told Variety: “You don’t want to touch on anything that’s going to bring the whole room down or remind them of something really tragic. But at the same time, you don’t want to completely ignore it. There are certain nods we’re doing without going too heavy- handed. I’m trying to find the perfect note to hit.
“In terms of politics, I feel like we’re all just so tired at this point, and it’s almost like all we have to do now is kind of laugh about it, and really looking to this award show as an escape from it.”
