Nikki Glaser 2026 Golden Globes Roasting: Host Calls CBS Coverage 'BS News'

Don't bite the hand that feeds you—unless you're Nikki Glaser. During the live broadcast of the 2026 Golden Globes on January 11, the comedian didn't hesitate to roast the very network hosting the event. CBS found itself in the crosshairs of a savage monologue that targeted its controversial news division.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Glaser waited only three minutes into her monologue before pivoting from a joke about redacted Jeffrey Epstein files to a direct jab at CBS News. "The Golden Globe for Best Editing goes to: the Justice Department," she quipped, before adding, "And the award for Most Editing goes to: CBS News! America's newest place to see... BS news!"

The punchline landed perfectly with the A-list audience. Martin Short and Steve Martin were spotted laughing and clapping as the camera panned to the crowd. While the audience erupted in cheers, the joke highlighted the internal turmoil currently rocking CBS under the leadership of polarizing figure Bari Weiss.

Behind the 'BS': Why CBS News is Under Fire

The roast follows a disastrous week for the network's flagship program, CBS Evening News. Its new anchor, Tony Dokoupil, has faced immense scrutiny since his debut. Technical glitches during his first live show led him to admit to "big problems" on air, while his emotional reporting style drew sharp criticism from peers like Megyn Kelly.

Beyond the stylistic critiques, viewers have also taken issue with Dokoupil's coverage of a recent ICE shooting in Minnesota. Glaser's jab suggests that the network's credibility issues have reached a tipping point where they are now fodder for mainstream award show humor.
