Nikki Glaser targets CBS and A-list guests in Golden Globes opening monologue

Independent.co reports that Nikki Glaser opened the 83rd Golden Globes on Sunday with a fiery monologue that aimed jabs at the A-list crowd and broadcaster CBS. Glaser, returning to host for a second consecutive year, told the star-studded room — which included Leonardo DiCaprio and Julia Roberts — that there was “so many A-lsters,” adding, “A lists that have been heavily redacted.” She quipped that the “Golden Globe for best editing goes to the Justice Department” and that the “Golden Globe for most editing goes to CBS News,” referring to claims that new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss withheld a recent 60 Minutes segment.

The article says Weiss pulled a 60 Minutes report last month about alleged abuses in an El Salvador prison for deported migrants, citing a “lack sufficient context,” and Glaser called CBS “America’s newest place to see B.S. news.” The ceremony honoured the best in film and television from the past year, with Paul Thomas Anderson’s Leonardo DiCaprio-starring One Battle After Another leading the film nominees and HBO Max’s The White Lotus prominent among TV contenders.
