Nikki Glaser Shares Unused Golden Globes Jokes on ICE and Trump

Nikki Glaser, known for her sharp wit, shared previously unused jokes from her recent Golden Globes hosting stint on “The Howard Stern Show.” Among the bits that didn’t make the final cut were punchlines regarding Donald Trump and ICE.

Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes Jokes on ICE and Trump

During her appearance, Glaser reflected on why she decided to avoid political humor. She stated, “It’s not funny.” She recalled a particular joke related to ICE, saying, “I was going to come in at some point and say, ‘I’m hearing from the bar that we’re out of ice. And you know, we don’t really need ice. And actually, I hate ice,’” acknowledging the double meaning behind the word “ice.”

The decision to steer clear of political jokes came shortly after a tragic event involving ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis. This incident ignited nationwide protests and claims of self-defense from the Trump administration.

Celebrity Reactions and Symbols of Protest

• A number of celebrities, including Mark Ruffalo and Wanda Sykes, showed support for Good’s memory by wearing pins that read “Ice Out” and “Be Good” on the Golden Globes red carpet.
• Another joke about renaming the Globes venue to “Trump Beverly Hilton” was also scrapped. Glaser noted, “You just don’t say that guy’s name right now.”

Glaser did, however, include some topical humor that resonated with viewers. She humorously criticized CBS News, saying, “The award for most editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News: America’s newest place to see B.S. news,” referring to recent controversies surrounding the network.

Other Cut Jokes from the Monologue

Here’s a selection of Glaser’s additional jokes that were left out:

• “Chase Infiniti is nominated for best actress tonight, and Chase Infiniti is her real name.”
• “Brad Pitt is nominated for his role in ‘F1’. When a man turns 60, he gets to play a racecar driver, while women over 35 are often typecast as tired mothers.”
• “There was a movie where Sydney Sweeney played a lesbian bouncing around in tiny shorts for two hours, and it made $14.”
• “Sean Penn is nominated tonight, I’m assuming for best neck veins.”
• “Jeff Goldblum is here tonight, not because he is nominated, just because they were shooting an ad for Apartments.com down the street.”

Glaser’s ability to mix humor with pressing social issues showcases her unique approach to comedy, even amidst sensitive topics. Her decision to omit certain jokes reflects a growing awareness of the impact of words in today’s media landscape.
