8:02 p.m. – Nikki Glaser looks radiant in a silver gown calling it “Ozempic’s biggest night!” She’s thrilled to be the host this evening. She’s getting a lot of laughs with digs at Ben Affleck and RFK Jr. She calls out some legends: movie stars Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, and Colin Farrell, who are also nominated for their limited TV series. A dig at Diddy that claims Stanley Tucci’s “freakoffs” doesn’t have the same ring.
Glaser moves on to Timothe Chalamat adding a quip with the present Adam Sandler, who says his last name perfectly. She moves on to musicals with a nod to Wicked and the not-nominated Joker 2.
Glaser is killing, keeping the laughs flowing with shout-outs to Adrien Brody and Glen Powell. A great opening monologue balancing snark and kindness.
