Comedian Nikki Glaser I wanted to tell a joke about 2021"Rust" shooting involving Alec Baldwinbut apparently she changed her mind at the last second!

In October 2021, the "30 Rock" actor held a gun on the set of a western while rehearsing a scene. The gun fired, hitting and killing the cameraman Halyna Hutchins. Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months behind bars for involuntary manslaughter, but Baldwin's case was dismissed with prejudice in July 2024 after a judge ruled the prosecution failed to turn over relevant evidence to the defense.

From Harrison Ford that Glen Powellno one seemed to be spared Nikki Glaser's opening monologue. However, in an interview with Howard Stern for her SiriusXM show, Glaser admitted that there was a joke about Alec Baldwin that she decided not to share with the audience.

“Michael Keaton was great Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. And Alec Baldwin unfortunately didn't come back to play the ghost because he was too busy making them," she joked. The Hollywood Reporter.

However, she felt the mocking of the late cameraman Halyne Hutchins was simply "too mean" to share on live television. “Please know that I know it wasn't pretty. It's such a great joke, but it's just too mean,” she added.

In a surprising admission, Glaser admitted that she actually messed up the joke she was about to tell Ben Affleck. On stage, Glaser said: “Wicked, Fag, Nightb-tch – these are not just words that Ben Affleck shouts after orgasm. These are some of the incredible films nominated tonight.”

However, that's not how the joke was written. As Glaser explained, "It was supposed to be 'when he orgasms,' and I said 'after,' and that really bothered me." Although she admitted that the joke "still works", she thinks it's still "less clear" and "2 percent funnier" than she intended.

Although Stern told her it was still funny either way, Glaser insisted, "They don't know how much more they would like it."

Glazer also joked about the "Batman" actor, who recently got divorced Jennifer Lopez after a previous divorce Jennifer Garner. “Here's Ben Affleck. I can't wait to see which Jennifer you try to ruin next," Glazer wanted to say, but didn't want to pepper in too many Affleck jokes.

Although she also joked Diddythere was one that didn't pass. "This is the last time you'll all be in the same room together until Diddy's trial," is one of the Diddy jokes she chose not to mention during her monologue.

“We had another Diddy reference that worked better (…) and you only get one Diddy reference. You also accuse the people in the room of being involved in it and they could turn against you," she explained.

As the first woman to host the Golden Globes, Glaser revealed that she didn't earn as much as her male counterparts. in 2023 Jerrod Carmichael revealed he was paid $500,000 for hosting; however, he was heavily criticized for his performance.

“I got less than that. It's okay. I will get more next year. Honestly, I would do it for free, it's such an insane platform. … (But) next time I will ask for more money,” she said, although she admitted that she had not yet been invited to host.

“I can't imagine he wouldn't. (...) It is difficult to find people who would do these shows", she explained. "I could never live with myself if I refused because I'm afraid of being bombed."

Fortunately, Nikki Glaser received positive feedback for her hosting role after previously hosting the Tom Brady Roast on Netflix. She told Howard Stern that she got a compliment from Harrison Ford after the show, who told her, "This is such a tough gig and you're doing such a good job."

She also revealed that one of the writers told her "You can't get 101 percent on this" and gave her a "Plus".

At the end of the night, Glaser said she "went to bed happy."
