“I’m not here to roast you tonight. I just want you to know that. How can I? You’re all so famous, so talented, so powerful. I mean, you could really do anything… I mean , except telling the country who to vote for,” Glaser said.
As the crowd laughed, she continued by saying, “But it’s okay! You’ll get them next time! If there is. I’m scared.’

“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes,” Glaser wrote in a statement released by The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I’m sitting in the front row (actually, I think I should be a presenter from the stage). The Golden Globes is not only a big night for TV and film, but also for comedy. a of the few times that show business not only allows but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). It’s an exciting yet challenging performance because it’s live, unpredictable and for Hollywood’s biggest stars (. who might also get wasted while they sitting next to their recent exes).”

“Some of my all-time favorite jokes come from previous Golden Globes opening monologues where Tina (Fey), Amy (Poehler) or Ricky (Gervais) said the exact thing we all didn’t know we desperately needed to hear,” says them. added. “I just hope to continue in that time-honored tradition (which may also get me canceled). This is truly a dream job. Plus, I no longer have to feel guilty about every TV show and movie I’ve seen lately It was all worth it (Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Season Four gets nominated, right?)”
