Nikki Glaser Says Timothee Chalamet Almost Skipped Her Golden Globes Speech That Roasted Him

Timothee Chalamet apparently considered avoiding being in Nikki Glaser‘s presence while she roasted him.

If you didn’t know, when the 40-year-old comedian hosted the Golden Globes back in January, she made a joke about Timothee‘s portrayal of Bob Dylan in the film A Complete Unknown.

“Timothée Chalamet, you have the most gorgeous eyelashes — on your upper lip. That is such a good look. You were so good and in A Complete Unknown as Bob Dylan. I read that your singing voice was so accurate that even Bob Dylan admitted that it was absolutely horrible,” Nikki said during her speech.

However, Nikki later revealed that the 29-year-old actor almost skipped out on the monologue during the event.

“That got back to him, and he was just going to skip my monologue and get there late, just so he didn’t have to deal with it,” she said at the Time100 Summit, per The Hollywood Reporter.

“I get it, because he’s there with his girlfriend who is already the subject of so many jokes. He shouldn’t have to sit there if I’m going to make fun of something about him — it’s like his night. So, I don’t begrudge him doing that,” she added.

Nikki also said that she reached out to Timothee‘s publicist to warn him about the joke, without revealing what her exact wording would be.

“I love Timothée! I’m not telling you the jokes, but I promise the jokes are only uplifting him and saying, ‘I’m a huge fan.’ I would never do anything to ruin his night,” she said.

If you didn’t know, Nikki has also been confirmed to host the 2026 Golden Globes!
