Nikki Glaser asks the star-studded crowd to not take yourselves too critically on the Golden Globes.
According to Glaser, the comic will undoubtedly carry the identical power to the Globes that she did to the Tom Brady roast again in May, though she needs to set a light-hearted, “celebratory” tone along with her opening monologue.
The comic would be the first solo feminine host of the awards present, which is scheduled for January 5.
“I’m doing what I used to be employed to do, which is, I bought this due to the Tom Brady roast. That isn’t misplaced on me,” she informed Yahoo Entertainment at Thursday’s Golden Globes purple carpet rollout.
“So I’m going to carry that to this for positive. It’s not gonna be watered down, [but] the tone will probably be totally different for this.”
Roasting celebrities within the Golden Globes viewers has turn out to be a normal apply for hosts. Sometimes, like with Ricky Gervais in his first 4 years, it is nicely obtained, and different occasions, like with Gervais in 2020, it is apparent that celebrities really feel a line was crossed. But based on Glaser, stars should not be afraid of her.
“I’m not gonna go so laborious that anybody’s gonna be offended,” she mentioned. “I’ve made some extent to not, and that is to not disappoint anybody who’s hoping I’m going to tug a Ricky Gervais. I’m not Ricky Gervais. This is not my final Golden Globes, that is my first one. He actually went laborious on his final one. He was able to burn some bridges [because] it did not matter anymore.”
However, that doesn’t imply Glaser, who can also be nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television for HBO’s Someday You’ll Die, will “kiss a** up there the entire time.”
“Celebrities should not be nervous as a result of it is an amazing alternative for them to look cool,” she mentioned.
“People at residence really feel disconnected from celebrities. Although that is a factor we like about them that we put them on these pedestals, we’re actually in search of some humanity from them. And I might actually encourage celebrities to simply snicker at jokes about you. I do know it sucks typically. I’ve been on the receiving finish of jokes at roasts and I’ve needed to snicker via my tears of being harm. I’m not going to name you an unsightly horseface girl, although, which is what I’ve needed to snicker via.”
Glaser added, “So if I make a joke a few unhealthy film you probably did as soon as that you simply had nothing to do with, apart from that you simply had been nice in a foul film, simply snicker. It’s a very easy approach to look likable to the general public and really it is an amazing PR transfer. Everyone in your camp ought to encourage you to snicker at jokes. It does not make you cooler to not snicker. … I’m attempting to make you look good. I actually am not out to harm anybody’s profession.”
When requested if something is off-limits, Glaser mentioned she has no real interest in wading into the It Ends With Us drama.
