Steve Martin Sent Globes Host Political Joke That Went ‘Too Far’

NBC / Todd Owyoung/NBC via Getty Image Steve Martin has a political joke he hoped Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser would tell on Sunday—but it’s not likely to be heard on the broadcast, at least for now. Glaser, who’s busy promoting the big show and her second turn at the hosting gig, told The Hollywood Reporter that Martin shared the joke with her through one of her writers, before thinking the better of it: “He said afterwards, ‘Actually, tell her: Don’t do that joke. That’s too far.’ And he was right. I did love the joke, but I don’t think I could say that.” Pressed further on what the joke was about, Glaser revealed that it was almost certainly about President Trump. “It wasn’t really dirty or anything. It was just a political joke that probably isn’t right for the show,” she explained. “But I love that he corrected and was like, ‘Tell her, actually don’t do that joke.’” Read more at The Daily Beast.
