It’s safe to say Nikki Glaser succeeded more than her predecessor in poking fun at celebrity guests without offending them.During last year’s opening monologue, Jo Koy took a jab atTaylor Swiftand her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, saying, “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift,” which the singer didn’t find amusing in the slightest.He also joked about Barry Keoghan’s famous nude scene inSaltburn, asking the Irish actor, “Where is your penis seated? Down front?” Then, he turned to Bradley Cooper, who wore a prosthetic nose inMaestro.“Found it,” the host quipped.Jo made Robert DeNiro awkwardly laugh when he asked him how he had impregnated his 45-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, at the age of 80, and madeMeryl Streepdo the Wakanda Forever pose from Marvel’sBlack Pantherfilm.His jokes fell so flat that, at one point, he went off-script, telling the audience, “That’s hilarious, I don’t care.”

The show has won 21 Primetime Emmy Awards, including for Outstanding Comedy Series, even though it deals with themes such as suicide, grief, and trauma.It competed as a comedy because its producers see it as one, and the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences never established a definition of what qualifies as a comedy.Additionally, some argue that it would receive fewer awards if it competed in the drama category, and that the dark themes give it an interesting twist compared to lighter comedies likeAbbott Elementary.
