Nikki Glaser roasted Hollywood in her explosive 2025 Golden Globe Awards opening monologue on Sunday – dropping shock jokes about Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs, Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The comedian, 40, who was hosting the glittering awards show for the first time, left the superstar audience and viewers reeling as she mentioned the disgraced star’s ‘freak-offs’ and the viral 1,000 bottles of baby oil claims.
Glaser also made reference to Trump’s presidential election victory – despite Hollywood’s overwhelming support for Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris as well as a sex joke about Ben Affleck.
She said: ‘Some of you may know me as a stand up comedian, and from my appearances on roasts. But I’m not here to roast you. I want you to know that. How could I, really? You’re also famous, so talented, so powerful. You can really do anything, except tell the country who to vote for, but it’s okay.’
The reference about Diddy came as Glaser made mention of Zendaya, as she said, ‘Zendaya is here – Zendaya, you were incredible in Dune. Oh, my God, I woke up for all of your scenes. You were so good.
‘And Challengers, girl? Oh, my God, that was so good. That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card.’
Glaser continued: ‘I’m sorry, I’m upset, too. The afterparty isn’t gonna be as good this year. But we have to move on – “Stanley Tucci freak-off” doesn’t have the same ring to it – no baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.’

The film Challengers ‘was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card,’ Glaser joked at the proceedings
The joke about Kennedy, Trump’s health secretary nominee, centered on the activist’s admitted dietary quirks.
She joked, ‘The Bear, The Penguin, Baby Reindeer – these are not just things found in RFK’s freezer!’
Reactions on social media were mixed to the topics and punchlines the comedian – who stood out at last year’s Tom Brady roast – delivered on the huge stage in Los Angeles to open the new year.
‘Love how Nikki Glaser roasted the Hollywood elites right to their faces at the Golden Globes, especially that zinger about Diddy’s parties – no more freak offs, no baby oil,’ said one user. ‘The awkward laughs from the A-listers were priceless.
‘Finally, someone calling out the hypocrisy in Tinseltown. Kudos to Nikki for keeping it real and funny.’
A number of people took issue with the jokes about Combs, who remains in custody in connection with allegations of sex trafficking, ahead of a trial slated for May.
‘Can someone please tell these “comedians” that the diddy jokes are not funny? We’re in for a long night with the golden globes I think…’ one user said.
Other users noted the multiple allegations against Combs in lawsuits pertaining to the sexual assault of minors.
