Is Nikki Glaser about to be cancelled?
The comedian has a long history of going above and beyond with her daring performances.
But she worries she may finally take things too far when she hosts the Golden Globes tonight.
In August, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Nikki would be the mistress of ceremonies for Hollywood’s most irreverent awards show.
And right off the bat, the host assured fans that it wouldn’t be easy with Hollywood’s best and brightest.
Nikki Glaser announces Golden Globes concert
“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes,” Glaser wrote in a statement to the outlet.
“It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I have a front row seat (in fact, I think I have to host from the stage).
“The Golden Globes are not only a great night for television and film, but also for comedy. “It’s one of the few times that showbiz not only allows but encourages being lovingly mocked (at least I hope so),” he continued.
“(God, I hope so.) It’s an exciting concert, but challenging because it’s live, unpredictable, and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who might also be getting drunk while sitting next to their recent exes).”
Recent Globes presenters have generated more controversy than laughs.
And while Nikki obviously hopes to reverse that trend, she also has no intention of playing it safe.
Nikki Glaser says she could be ‘cancelled’ for Globes jokes
“Some of my favorite jokes of all time come from previous Golden Globes opening monologues when Tina (Fey)amy (Poehler) or Ricky (Gervais) have said exactly what we all didn’t know we desperately needed to hear,” he said. in his statement.
“I just hope to continue that time-honored tradition (that could also get me cancelled).
“This is truly his dream job. Plus, I no longer have to feel guilty about every TV show and movie I’ve watched over the past year. It was all worth it. (Below Deck: Sailing Yacht The fourth season will be nominated, right?)”
Unfortunately, the Below deck The franchise will likely be left without a nomination again.
But there’s still plenty to get excited about, as one of the comedy world’s most cunning and unpredictable talents prepares to roast Hollywood’s biggest stars.
As her work at Tom Brady’s recent roast reminded us, Nikki doesn’t like to hold back.
So while we hope they don’t cancel it, we also hope they don’t pull any punches with their celebrity audience.
