Golden Globes 2025: Nikki Glaser Hilariously Asked Ariana Grande To Hold Her Finger For Emotional Support; Check Singer’s Reaction

During her Golden Globes monologue, Nikki Glaser didn’t mince words when poking fun at A-list celebrities. From the buzz surrounding Ozempic to Sean Diddy Combs’ notable incidents and, inevitably, the US elections, she covered a wide range of topics. One particularly amusing quip was aimed at Ariana Grande regarding the viral moment involving her and Cynthia Erivo during the Wicked press tour.

Ariana, I’m a bit nervous,” Glaser expressed, recalling the popular incident where the pop star comforted her Wicked colleague, Cynthia Erivo, by holding her hand for emotional support in an interview.

Following Glaser’s joke, the camera shifted to Erivo, who was giving the finger-holding gesture and then had her finger grasped. Erivo, seated nearby, appeared touched as she responded to a question concerning the queer community’s connection to the “holding space” lyric from the musical Defying Gravity.

The humorist playfully commented on the song’s theme too, remarking, “Tonight, let’s toast to cinema while reserving room for TV.” Later, Glaser revealed the nominees for movies and TV series at the event in a cleverly amusing manner.

As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement as I proclaim, “Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch – these aren’t just phrases you’d hear after Ben Affleck’s victories; they’re the movies vying for recognition tonight!” In the realm of television, it’s not just The Bear, The Penguin, and Baby Reindeer that one might find in RFK’s icebox; they are the shows competing for accolades tonight!

Among those celebrities who found themselves on the receiving end of Glaser’s wit were Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Martin Short, Nicole Kidman, and Benny Blanco, along with several others.

She playfully criticized some of the year’s most debated releases, such as Babygirl with Kidman, Wicked, and Joker 2 (or Joker: Folie à Deux). She quipped that she wasn’t aware of the Wicked Broadway musical until the film came out because she had friends in high school who kept her out of the loop.

She mentioned that everyone adored the movie “Wicked”, and furthermore, both her partner and their partner shared this affection for it. This appreciation seemed to align with the subtle themes of queerness present in the film.

As an ardent admirer putting it in my own words, “I’ve got to say, I was taken aback by the criticism towards ‘Joker 2’. Some folks felt the visuals and audio elements were disruptive, labeling it as the shocking misstep of the year. Yet, with a wink and a chuckle, I must offer my humble apologies to the brilliant minds behind Joker – I’m sure they didn’t intend for such a reception. Unfortunately, it seemed we had forgotten our reservation at the awards ceremony.
