Nikki Glaseris revealing the jokes that were too raunchy for her hosting gig at theJan. 5 Golden Globe Awards.

On SiriusXM’sThe Howard Stern Showthe following day, the comedian, 40, discussed the 82nd annual ceremony withHoward Stern. In heropening monologue, Glaser had joked that the show’s “after-party is not going to be as good this year” withoutSean “Diddy” Combs, who isaccusedof sexual assault and currently behind bars.

A more extreme joke about the disgraced rapper, she shared, was, “The Golden Globes is the only show where you can see the biggest stars and movies and television joined together with the same goal — getting out of here tonight beforeDax Shepardasked them to do his podcast. This is the last time all of you will be in the same room together until the Diddytrial.”

She told Stern, 70, why she instead chose a milder take for the monologue: “That one you don’t want to do, because it’s like you’re accusing the people of that room of being involved in that, and they might turn on you.”

Another sex scandal that Glaser decided not to cover onstage was that ofMatt Gaetz, the resigned congressman accused of violating Florida’s statutory rape law. She told Stern that joke would have calledAnora, Sean Baker’s stripper Cinderella story, “the most unflinching look at sex work since Matt Gaetz’s payment history.”

Other quips left on the cutting room floor, the comedian said: a jab atBen Affleckabout “ruining” women named Jennifer, a joke referring toNicole Kidmanas animated feature nomineeThe Wild Robotafter “two wines” and one aboutAlec Baldwinand the lateRustcinematographer Halyna Hutchins which Glaser deemed “too mean.”

In aninterview with PEOPLE before hostingthe Globes, Glaser said chatting with Stern on his show was “my tradition now … After a big, live event that I have a lot of fun jokes — because not everything makes it, and we write hundreds of jokes — I already have a separate document that’s for Howard, because I already know some things that aren’t even going to make it.”

Of poking fun at celebrities at the Jan. 5 show, Glaser was “not out for blood,” she said at the time. “I am really in service of the people that are being honored there.”
