Key Points:

  • Nikki Glaser is set to host the Golden Globes for the second time, making her the first woman to host the awards solo last year.
  • Glaser described crafting jokes for the show as a strategic and delicate process, aiming to entertain without offending the attendees.
  • This year, Glaser faces the challenge of roasting actors she admired growing up, which requires a different approach compared to younger celebrities.
  • Unlike last year, she has not reached out to celebrities for joke approval and prefers to handle any fallout later in a more informal setting.
  • Glaser is refining her monologue through club performances, noting that jokes about beloved figures like Julia Roberts are particularly challenging to land.
