Nikki Glaser revealed the “embarrassing” Brad Pitt dig that didn’t make it at the 2026 Golden Globes. Glaser guested on The Howard Stern Show and confessed that she removed certain jokes from the final show, including certain political references.
Golden Globes 2026 host Nikki Glaser cut this Brad Pitt joke
Nikki Glaser’s particularly scathing dig at Brad Pitt did not make it to the 2026 Golden Globes. Glaser appeared on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show after hosting the 2026 Golden Globe Awards. The 41-year-old fished out her notes from her phone and read out all the jokes that did not make the final cut.
The F1 star skipped the 2026 Golden Globes even though his film was nominated in two categories. However, if Pitt had attended the awards, Glaser would have joked, “When a man turns 60, he gets to play a racecar driver. Meanwhile, after 35, every role for a woman is a tired mom who hates her life.”
Continuing further, she would have taken a dig at his driving skills as well. She shared (via PEOPLE), “Brad Pitt is nominated for his role in F1 tonight. Brad, you were so good that I was almost convinced that you’ve driven yourself somewhere in the last 30 years. But Brad did a lot of his own driving in the movie. And Brad, I don’t want to embarrass you, but your blinker was on the whole time.”
Glaser’s jokes made the hosts chuckle, as they appreciated her wit and sharp sense of humor. Notably, Pitt played the nomadic racer-for-hire and former Formula One driver, Sonny Hayes, in the 2025 sports drama film F1. The movie chronicles Hayes’ gritty comeback to the world of racing after a 30-year absence. He is determined to save his former teammate’s loss-making team from going defunct. The film also stars Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, and Kerry Condon, among others. The film proved to be a critical and commercial success.
In a past interview, Pitt discussed his excitement about taking on the role of a has-been racing prodigy’s return to glory. The 62-year-old actor shared (via Formula 1), “I don’t know where I go from here. You can’t compete with this experience. It’s almost like when we get to the acting scenes, you kind of go, ‘Oh, okay, no driving today!’ It’s really been amazing.”
