Think we can all agree Nikki Glaser killed it during her 2025 Golden Globes monologue, but apparently there was a lot left on the cutting room floor.

Nikki revealed the jokes that didn't make the cut during an appearance on Howard Stern (via Page Six), saying "Am I gonna roast or am I gonna toast? You know what? I’m not roasting. I’m gonna toast. And I just did all these toasts that were roasts. Like, 'Here’s to Ben Affleck, I can’t wait to see which Jennifer you try to ruin next.' And I argued like, 'Oh, I didn’t say ruin them. I said he tried to ruin them so it’s not against them.' But I was like, 'That would have been insane.'"

Other jokes that didn't make the cut? Ahem:

"Glen Powell is nominated tonight for Hit Man. Who would have thought that by the end of the year, you’d only be the second hottest hit man in America."

"Only Murders in the Building is amazing. And I think it’s so cool that legends like Steve Martin, Martin Short, Meryl Streep, are still at it, putting up some of the best performances of their careers, and it’s so inspiring. And it just goes to show you, you are never too old to still need money. Guys, please don’t fight Jake Paul, please don’t do it. Why are you still working so hard? Did you get caught up in Hawk Tuah girl’s crypto scheme?"

Oh, and "The Wild Robot is nominated tonight. And by that, I mean Nicole Kidman after two white wines."

Cryinnnnng. Check out the Ben Affleck joke that DID make the cut in Nikki's monologue below:
