Nikki Glaser’s second appearance as host of the Golden Globes drew positive feedback for her sharp humor aimed at stars throughout the night. Among the celebrities targeted was Timothée Chalamet, though some of the jabs about him were edited out before airing. Recently, Glaser disclosed some of these excised jokes, including a risqué comment involving the actor.
Highlights from Nikki Glaser’s Unseen Jokes on Celebrity Targets
During a recent interview on Howard Stern’s show, Glaser shared jokes that didn’t make it into her Golden Globes set. While Michael B Jordan faced a few raunchy remarks, Timothée Chalamet avoided the harsher hits. One removed joke referenced Amy Poehler’s presence at the event:
Amy Poehler is here for her podcast Good Hang, which is what Timothée Chalamet says after sex.

Though some bets were held back, Chalamet was still mentioned in Glaser’s opening monologue with a playful take on his latest film. She quipped:
This is interesting, not a lot of people know this, but Timothée Chalamet is the first actor in history to have to put on muscle for a movie about ping pong. He gained over 60 ounces! It’s insane!

Other celebrities received their share of jokes as well, including Leonardo DiCaprio. Glaser joked:
Leo, why are you always squinting? I mean, I assume it’s to read your girlfriend’s ID, just making sure that the year starts with a 2.

How Nikki Glaser Approaches Cutting Jokes and Moving Forward
Glaser explained that her attitude toward trimming her material has evolved over time. She acknowledged that jokes occasionally cause unintended harm and that letting go of some content now comes easier:
Things do live on in some way and maybe sometimes a joke is just for the room. There’s been times where jokes have really hurt people’s feelings or I’ve gone too far and I feel like I’m always okay with losing stuff now. I wasn’t before. It was always really hard to cut those jokes and now I’m just like, you just don’t get everything you want and you’ve just gotta move on. And let’s just write a better joke. There’s gotta be a better joke out there.

The Role of Unused Jokes in the Golden Globes Experience
The exclusion of certain jokes, including the Timothée Chalamet Golden Globes gag, highlights the delicate balance comedians face when performing at high-profile events. Such decisions impact the overall tone while respecting sensitivities. As Glaser demonstrated, even prominent jokes can be sacrificed to maintain this balance, offering insight into the creative and editorial process behind the ceremony’s humor.
