Nikki Glaser 2026 Golden Globes Monologue: Redacted Lists and Leo Roasts

The stars were out, but the knives were sharper. On January 12, 2026, comedian Nikki Glaser kicked off the Golden Globes with a self-aware, biting monologue that spared no one. It's the kind of hosting that makes Hollywood both laugh and cringe simultaneously.

Nikki Glaser 2026 Golden Globes Monologue: Roasting the Redacted A-List

Glaser didn't hesitate to lean into the absurdity of an awards show during global distractions. She joked that the Golden Globes is "without a doubt, the most important thing happening in the world right now." Her sharpest jab early on was aimed at the guest list itself, noting that the room was filled with "A-listers on a list that's been heavily redacted," a clear nod to recent industry scandals and public disclosures.

The political sphere wasn't safe either. She jokingly awarded 'Best Editing' to the U.S. Justice Department and 'Most Editing' to CBS News, quipping that the network has become the premier place to see "BS news." The audience's reaction was a mix of shocked gasps and reluctant applause.

Leonardo DiCaprio and the Pasta Question

Perhaps the most viral moment came when she addressed Leonardo DiCaprio directly. Glaser poked fun at his well-known dating history with women under 30. She claimed the only info she could find on him was from a 1991 Teen Beat interview, asking if his favorite food is still "pasta, pasta, and more pasta."
