At least one gag hasn’t made the cut for Nikki Glaser on her return as host of the Golden Globes ceremony this Sunday.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Tuesday, the comedian revealed that legendary actor and comedian Steve Martin had pitched a line for her monologue, but then promptly urged her not to use it.
“Steve Martin sent in a joke through one of my writers. That was so nice,” Glaser recalled. “Then he said afterwards, ‘Actually, tell her: don’t do that joke. That’s too far.’ And he was right. I did love the joke, but I don’t think I could say that.”
She explained of the gag, “It wasn’t really dirty or anything. It was just a political joke that probably isn’t right for the show.”
Glaser said she appreciated Martin’s request to pull the joke back, given how she is constantly being pitched possible new material. “I love that he corrected himself and was like, ‘Tell her, actually don’t do that joke,’” she said.
The exact content of the gag is unclear. Martin has not commented.
