“I’m trying out my monologue around L.A., at the clubs here, and just even any joke about Julia Roberts, they are not there for,” Nikki explained. “You cannot make fun of America’s Sweetheart. So, whatever I end up saying about her, that is the most fine-tuned joke that I’ve worked on so hard, because it is very delicate.”
“They were booing, and I was like, ‘Is she here?’ It’s insane,” she added.
Nikki also said that her jokes this year will be more “covert” because “huge A-listers” like Julia, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Sean Penn are nominated.
“I am a huge fan of these people,” she shared. “It’s easy for me to take down the newer batch of actresses and actors who are younger than me. It’s like, ‘OK, I can make fun of you. I’m like a veteran.’ But when it’s people that I grew up admiring, it’s a different approach this year.”
“You have to be very delicate about making jokes that aren’t going to ruin anyone’s night,” Nikki continued. “But you also want to give the people at home something to laugh at, and you want to poke fun at the people that they’re dying for you to make fun of. People at home want you to make fun of the A-listers.”
The 2026 Golden Globe Awards will take place on Sunday (January 11), live on CBS. Just Jared will be live updating throughout the evening, so stay tuned!
