Golden Globes 2025 – dwell: Red carpet, how one can watch and who’s nominated

Nikki Glaser may be preparing for the many jokes she will be telling during the 2025 Golden Globes, but there is one recent event that she has decided to not bring up.

The comedian and actress recently admitted in an interview with Yahoo Entertainment that while she may roast celebrities throughout the January 5 award show, she does not plan on bringing up anything regarding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

“I think the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni thing is such a hot-button thing right now that even a mere mention of it will seem like I could be on the wrong side of things, even though I would never be,” she told the outlet.

“I also don’t want to give his name any … I’m mad I even know his name, to be honest with you, so I don’t need to say it anymore.”

The comedian, 63, presented the awards ceremony for three consecutive years in 2010, 2011, and 2012 before returning to compère in 2016 and 2020. He is fondly remembered for making blunt quips at the expense of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Last May, Nikki Glaser tackled the greatest quarterback in the history of American football and made herself a star in the process. Even comedy greats were impressed by Glaser’s roast of Tom Brady.

“No one is gonna do a better roast set than that,” Conan O’Brien told her, adding that all future roasts will be measured against it. “Where is it on the Nikki Glaser scale? ‘It’s a 6.2.’ That’s pretty good, but it’s not her 10.”

Five-time Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais has revealed how he’d kick off his monologue if he had Nikki Glaser’s job this year, writing on social media:

“Hello, and welcome to the 82nd Golden Globe awards. What a year it’s been. Hundreds of entertainers jumped at the chance to go to The Vatican to meet The Pope. Many from Hollywood. Obviously they weren’t content with only being part of the second biggest paedo ring in the world…”
