Some jokes are simply too-hot for TV — particularly for CBS — even when they’re delivered within the loosey-goosey Golden Globes ballroom (and even when these Golden Globes are hosted by Nikki Glaser).
Paradoxically, the bleeped (actually, it was simply an audio dump) joke of Sunday night was not delivered by Glaser, a veteran standup comic who has made her bones with vicious roast jokes. No, it was the lovable (and Canadian, so he’s well mannered) Seth Rogen delivering a line concerning the beloved (and in addition Canadian) Ryan Gosling.
The setup: Rogen and Catherine O’Hara (one other Canadian and the star of “Schitt’s Creek”) have been presenting for Finest Efficiency by a Feminine Actor in a Restricted Sequence, Anthology Sequence, or a Movement Image Made for Tv. Jodie Foster would win the trophy for her starring position on “True Detective: Night time Nation.” (Discover the entire evening’s winners right here.)
However earlier than Foster was introduced and will settle for the award: the banter. The final joke right here was how a lot Rogen and O’Hara worth the Golden Globes, in addition to the awards present’s north-of-the-border sibling, the Golden Antlers (not actual). They rattled off some humorous made-up reveals and flicks they’ve every obtained the fake Canadian accolades for: O’Hara as “Mama Morissette” in an Alanis Morrissette biopic and Rogen for portraying a younger Gosling in “Gosling,” an unauthorized Gosling biopic. (Morrissette and Gosling are additionally famously Canadian.)
How unauthorized was that final one? The audio dumped joke: “Sure, it was unauthorized,” Rogen reiterated, “and the Mickey Mouse Membership handjob scene was controversial, however we felt essential to depict.”
Artwork isn’t all the time fairly, girls and gents. However it’s essential?
Gosling didn’t attend Sunday’s Golden Globes (zero noms for “The Fall Man”).
If it wasn’t clear by the Gosling joke, the Globes are usually an (virtually) anything-goes environment. The bar is open earlier than the present and through business breaks, so the attending celebs know what they’re entering into. Glaser gave it to them good, although most of her jokes have been tame by her personal established normal. Steadiness was the order of the night.
Although Glaser suffered zero audio dumps (for the document, the audio was additionally censored on streaming service Paramount+, which isn’t sure to the identical FCC guidelines as broadcast tv is), she got here shut a number of instances; discover her monologue materials right here.
