Nikki Glaser names the A-lister she’s most afraid to roast hosting 2026 Golden Globes
NY Post
Nikki Glaser is staying away from this pretty woman.
During an interview on “CBS Mornings” Monday, the comedian, 41, revealed that Julia Roberts is the celebrity she’s most afraid of roasting at the upcoming 2026 Golden Globe Awards, which she’s hosting Sunday night.
“We have so many huge A-listers that I grew up really admiring, and it’s really for me to take down the newer batch of actresses and actors younger than me,” Glaser explained. “Like, ‘OK, I can make fun of you. I’m like a veteran.’ But when it’s like people I grew up admiring, it’s a different approach this year.”
“I’m trying out my monologue around LA at the clubs here and any joke about Julia Roberts, they are not there for,” Glaser continued. “You can not make fun of America’s Sweetheart. So whatever I end up saying about her, that is the most fine-tuned joke I’ve worked on so hard because it is very delicate.'”
Glaser added, “They were booing. I was like, ‘Is she here?’ It’s insane. I get it though.”
Last year, Glaser crushed her Golden Globes hosting debut, roasting some of the most famous people in the room including Ariana Grande, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Timothée Chalamet and Harrison Ford in her opening monologue.
