It is generally agreed that Nikki Glaser did an exceptional job as the host of the 82nd Golden Globes on Sunday night. Her distinctive sense of humor and sharp tongue were clearly evident, but what truly set her apart was her ability to both praise and satirize the film industry simultaneously – a feat that some previous hosts have found challenging. All her jokes were well-received, and it appears everyone had a great time. However, Nikki admitted to Howard Stern (as reported by The Hollywood Reporter) that there was one particular joke she botched slightly – specifically, the jab she took at Ben Affleck’s bedroom banter.
On stage, Glaser stated, “Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch – these aren’t mere exclamations after a moment of excitement; they represent some of the extraordinary films up for awards tonight.” However, it seems that this wasn’t the intended humor as planned by Glaser.
…”Initially, I messed up the delivery of that joke. I meant to say ‘when he climaxes’ instead of ‘after’, and it bothers me because it wasn’t as clear. It still gets a laugh, but it could be funnier if I got it right… Stern mentioned that most people don’t mind missing jokes they didn’t get to hear, to which I responded, “They have no idea how much more they would have enjoyed it.
Glaser expressed that she was content with her hosting responsibilities and retired for the night with a smile on her face. She’s rather optimistic about being invited back to host next year, stating, “It seems unlikely they wouldn’t ask me again. It’s challenging to find individuals for these roles… However, I couldn’t bear the thought of turning it down due to fear of failure.
Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes Pay Shines Light on a Continued Hollywood Problem
As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I can’t help but share my experience from behind the scenes of the recent awards ceremony. Stern inquired about my compensation for hosting the event, and I couldn’t help but bring up Jerrod Carmichael, who graced the Golden Globes stage in 2023 and openly disclosed his paycheck: $500,000. “I made less than that,” I admitted. “It’s alright, I’ll ask for a raise next year.” To be honest, I would have gladly done it for free, given the incredible exposure such an event offers… But next time, I’m definitely going to negotiate for a bigger paycheck!
In a possible surprise, Glaser might find the lower compensation disconcerting, yet it underscores an ongoing issue in Hollywood: on average, men receive higher salaries than women for performing similar tasks. To make matters worse, there’s also a racial pay disparity, with individuals of color receiving significantly less than their white counterparts. Thus, while Glaser was paid more due to her gender, it’s probable that Ricky Gervais and other white male hosts were compensated even more. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for Glaser to receive equal compensation for her future endeavors, and if she doesn’t host again next year, let’s hope this pay gap issue is resolved permanently.
