Nikki Glaser kicks off her Golden Globes 2025 opening monologue with a bold declaration that she isn’t there to roast anyone. However, the subsequent ten minutes of her performance tell a different story as she dives into a whirlwind of clever jabs and sharp wit that keeps the audience engaged. Her unique style combines humor with a critical eye, making it clear that while she may playfully claim to be non-confrontational, her comedic intent is anything but mild.
As she introduces the nominees for the evening, Glaser quips, “Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch: these are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms, these are some of the incredible movies nominated tonight.” This line perfectly encapsulates her comedic approach, intertwining cultural references with pointed humor. She continues, listing shows like “The Bear, The Penguin, and Baby Reindeer,” cleverly remarking, “These are not just things found in RFK’s freezer, these are TV shows nominated tonight.” Her ability to weave current events into her comedy not only entertains but also resonates with the audience.
No celebrity is spared from Glaser’s comedic lens, as she humorously targets figures like Martin Short with a playful jab, stating, “And Martin Short is here because we have cameras!” She also compliments Timothée Chalamet, saying, “You have the most gorgeous eyelashes on your upper lip!” This blend of playful teasing and genuine compliments showcases her versatility as a comedian. Following her infamous roast of Tom Brady, audiences were prepared for her sharp wit, and she certainly delivered a memorable performance that left everyone in stitches.
