“But I’m going to crack it," the comedian promised ahead of hosting Sunday's ceremony.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Golden Globes are fast approaching, and Nikki Glaser is struggling to find a Julia Roberts joke.
“She’s been the toughest nut to crack,” Glaser, who’s hosting Sunday’s Globes, said Tuesday with a determined laugh. “But I’m going to crack it.”
The comedian got the hosting gig last year after showing her skill at ruthlessly roasting celebrities. She got raves for her monologue. She brought out the knives, but they weren’t overly sharp. She was promptly asked back.
Sunday’s monologue will be a shape-shifting monster until the moment the CBS telecast starts and she takes the stage at the Beverly Hilton, ideally with a bit ready for Roberts, who’s nominated for best actress in a drama for “After the Hunt.” She’ll be sitting in front of Glaser with her star-powered charm.
“I just want to do the perfect joke but it’s like people do not have a sense of humor about Julia Roberts,” Glaser said in an interview with The Associated Press. “She’ll be fine — other people are not fine on her behalf. Like the most innocent joke about her that I made a couple times trying it out, they booed, they were like jeering.”
