The 2025 Golden Globes were straight-up spectacular! The red carpet had celebs serving major looks, especially with the opera glove trend. But what really stole the show? Nikki Glaser’s roasting game—totally on point!
When Glaser took the stage to host the 2025 Golden Globes, we all knew it was going to be a full-on circus. Why? Because she is a savage comedian with no filter, and we knew she was about to roast everyone in sight.
Instead of reading the same boring speeches or just announcing awards, Glaser turned the night into a roast session. The stand-up comedian, who made history as the first solo female host of the Golden Globes, zinged everyone—Ben Affleck, Timothée Chalamet, you name it.”
Plus, what made Glaser’s quips even better? She kept it straight-up hilarious and light, blending sarcasm with just the right amount of love.
Yeah, she’s a total pro at it. Curious who became the TV host’s roast targets? We’ve got the tea on the five funniest moments of the night when Glaser took a massive bite out of Hollywood’s finest.
1. Nikki Glaser’s bold Ben Affleck joke
Nikki Glaserwasted zero time going straight for the jugular. First up?Ben Affleck—who wasn’t even at the ceremony. But did that stop Glaser? Absolutely not.
The comedian opened with a simple but funny line:“Tonight we celebrate the best of film,”she said. Then, she added,“Wicked. Queer. Nightbitch. These are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms.”
The crowd exploded in laughter, even though the Caped Crusader star was nowhere to be seen. It was a gutsy way to start the show, and you could feel the energy shift in the room.

The audience wasn’t expecting it, but that’s exactly why Glaser is so good at what she does. She knows how to hit you with a surprise punchline and have you laughing all at once.
2. Nikki Glaser hilariously roasted Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco
After roasting Ben Affleck, Nikki Glaser turned her attention toSelena Gomezand her fiancé,Benny Blanco. The songstress was a double nominee at the Golden Globes, so Glaser knew she couldn’t resist tossing in a gag about her.
But Glaser wasn’t done yet—she threw some shade at Blanco, Selly’s fiancé too. Glaser started with,“Selena Gomez is here, double nominee tonight, and she’s here with her new fiancé Benny Blanco.”
The crowd was all ears, waiting for that punchline. So, Glaser didn’t leave them hanging:“And Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him that wish,”she added, flashing a grin. The joke got an immediate laugh. It was a lighthearted jab, but still funny enough to get a reaction.
3Nikki Glasermocked Timothée Chalamet’s singing skills
Nikki Glaser also turned her focus to one of Hollywood’s most beloved young actor:Timothée Chalamet. The actor was nominated for his role inA Complete Unknown,and while everyone praised his acting, Glaser couldn’t resist poking fun at his singing.
“Timothée, you were so good in A Complete Unknown,”she said, with that signature Nikki Glaser grin. The audience was waiting for more. Then she added,“In fact, I actually read that your singing voice was so accurate that even Bob Dylan admitted that it was absolutely horrible.”
The crowd cracked up, and Timmy probably wanted to crawl into a hole. Glaser wasn’t letting anyone off easy that night, and Chalamet definitely wasn’t spared. She made the roast feel effortless, and that’s the magic Glaser brings to the table. The best part? Chalamet likely knew it was all in good fun.
4. Nikki Glaser didn’t spare Nicole Kidman’s 20th Golden Globe nod
One of the night’s biggest topics wasNicole Kidman’s 20th Golden Globe nomination. That’s right, Kidman has been nominated more times than we can count. So, of course, Glaser had to make a just about it. She started off by congratulating Kidman, saying,
“Nicole Kidman is nominated for Babygirl tonight.”She then added,“This is your 20th Golden Globe nomination, incredible, thank you so much for all of your hard work.”
The audience was waiting for the spin, and Glaser delivered.“And thank you to Keith Urban for playing guitar so much around the house that she wants to leave and make 18 movies a year.”
The crowd lost it, obviously. Overall, Glaser wasn’t just roasting Nic’s noms; she was throwing shade at how Hollywood really works.
5. Nikki Glaser humorously called out Hollywood’s double standard for older male actors
Finally, Nikki Glaser went for the big one—calling out Hollywood’s double standard when it comes to older actors. We’ve all noticed it. When a woman over 50 lands a lead role, it’s often seen as a “comeback,” but when an older man takes on a leading role, no one bats an eye.
Glaser had had enough of that, so she decided to address it directly.“There’s been a lot of talk about comebacks—Pamela Anderson, Demi Moore,”she started.

The audience nodded, thinking it was a simple comment. Then Glaser dropped the punchline:“If you’re a woman over 50 in a lead role, they call it a comeback. If you’re a guy over 50 in a lead role, congratulations, you’re about to play Sydney Sweeney’s boyfriend.”The room burst into laughter.
