Nikki Glaser's Golden Globes monologue, the 2026 version of which has left many in stitches and some feeling a bit bruised. The comedian didn't hold back as she poked fun at everyone from CBS News to Leonardo DiCaprio and herself.
Glaser opened her monologue by taking aim at CBS News, joking that it deserved an award for most editing. However, the jab was not just about the network; it was also a commentary on the way news is curated and presented in today's digital age. With millions watching the ceremony, Glaser's comments were likely seen as a clever critique of the media landscape.
Glaser then shifted her focus to the film and television stars in attendance, playfully roasting several A-listers. She joked that Leonardo DiCaprio was only nominated for his work on "One Man-Bun After Another," implying that he might not have actually done much for the film. She also cracked jokes about Sean Penn's age, suggesting that he had undergone a transformation to look younger.
However, Glaser saved her best insults for herself. She joked that she should not be allowed to attend the ceremony with Julia Roberts due to their significant age difference and their respective levels of success in Hollywood. The joke was likely intended to poke fun at the idea that certain individuals are more deserving of recognition than others based on their fame or wealth.
Throughout her monologue, Glaser showed off her signature irreverent humor, often using self-deprecation to deflect attention from herself. Her jokes were relatable and entertaining, making for a memorable evening of comedy and camaraderie at the Golden Globes.

, but at the same time, I think she might've gone too far with some of those jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn 
... or maybe not? I mean, come on, it was just a joke, right? 
But then again, what's funny is subjective, so I guess we can all agree to disagree on that one... unless we don't, in which case, I'm totally fine with whatever 
. And honestly, her jokes about herself were actually kind of relatable, but was she really roasting herself or just trying to deflect attention? 
Still, overall, it was a pretty funny monologue, but now I'm kinda torn on whether I liked it or not... guess that's the beauty of comedy, right? 
. And don't even get me started on the camera work – can't they at least try to keep a steady shot for once?! 
. I mean, I know the woman is a genius, but come on Golden Globes, can you do better than this? 
! I love how she roasted CBS News - that's some funny editing right there 
were perfect. But what really got me was when she roasted herself - it's like, girl, you're a legend in your own mind 
. I love how she poked fun at the whole Hollywood thing and our perception of success. It's so relatable 
. And can we talk about Julia Roberts for a second? 
... and now they're telling me that the new season is gonna be even shorter? Like, what's up with these streaming services? Can't we just get a full season without having to break out our wallets every 6-8 eps? 
. Can't we just enjoy some good comedy without needing to make it all about ageism and celebrity politics?
