Nikki Glaser has revealed her standards as she prepares to host this year’s Golden Globe Awards.
In a new interview with People magazineThe comedic actress said that she will be careful not to cross the limits with her jokes this time.
She said she only targets people she truly respects and enjoys, explaining that her jokes are meant to come from a positive place.
“I write from a place of love, and I wouldn’t make a joke about someone I didn’t actually like.”
Glaser went on to explain that her teasing is actually a compliment, not an insult.
“So, if I write a joke about you or I make a joke about you, it’s because I like you and I think you’re probably cool and have a great sense of humor.
“I don’t make jokes about people that I don’t think are great, that I don’t really care to talk to them or give them the time of day,” she revealed before concluding.
Earlier this week, Glaser also revealed that she was warned not to make jokes at Julia Roberts’ expense in her monologue at the Golden Globes.
Speaking on CBS Mornings, the comedian said: “I try to do my monologues all over L.A., in the clubs here, and even any joke about Julia Roberts, it’s not there.
“You can’t make fun of America’s sweetheart,” she explained.
“So, whatever I end up saying about it, this is the most subtle joke I’ve ever worked on, because it’s so sensitive,” she concluded with justification.
