As a seasoned comedy writer and host, I find myself in a unique position to navigate the tricky waters of this year’s Golden Globes. With the recent controversy surrounding Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, I am choosing to steer clear of the drama and keep the focus on the awards themselves. I’ve learned over my years in the industry that it’s best not to stir up unnecessary controversy, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like this one. I don’t want to be seen as taking sides or giving unwanted attention to someone whose name I’d rather forget.

In my experience, hosting events can be a delicate dance between keeping the audience entertained and avoiding offense. I’ve learned that it’s important to find the right balance, and in this case, I plan to err on the side of caution. I don’t want to disappoint anyone who is hoping for a Ricky Gervais-style roast, but I also don’t want to alienate any members of the audience with my jokes.

In terms of other hot-button issues like Donald Trump’s presidency and his victory over Kamala Harris, I plan to make a light-hearted nod to it without being too heavy-handed. I understand that people are tired of hearing about it, but I also recognize its impact on our society and the entertainment industry.

All in all, I’m looking forward to hosting this year’s Golden Globes and creating an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. And who knows, maybe I’ll even crack a joke or two that will have the audience rolling with laughter! After all, comedy is my passion and I can’t wait to share it with the world.

At the 82nd Golden Globes, you won’t find any references to the legal issues between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively.

Speaking to Yahoo Entertainment, Nikki Glaser, this year’s Globes host, shared that she will avoid the controversy surrounding “It Ends with Us” at Sunday’s event. The drama ignited on December 21 when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and starting a malicious social media campaign against her.

Glaser expressed that the topic surrounding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is so sensitive at the moment, bringing it up might make it seem like he’s taking a controversial stance, although he never would. Furthermore, he shared that he doesn’t want to mention Baldoni’s name because he’s upset that he even knows it in the first place.

The comedian’s approach to avoid sensitive topics forms a key aspect of her hosting strategy, aiming to maintain harmony within the star-studded audience. She further explains that she doesn’t intend to push boundaries excessively, ensuring no one feels uncomfortable or offended.

She stated that she intentionally won’t imitate Ricky Gervais and she’s not him. She added that this is her first Golden Globes, whereas he was particularly aggressive during his last appearance. He seemed ready to sever ties since he no longer cared about the consequences.

Regarding the topic of Donald Trump’s presidential win over Kamala Harris, Glaser mentioned she will give a subtle acknowledgment but won’t dwell too much, as people seem to be weary of discussing it further, despite its ongoing relevance.
