Jon Stewart offered his thoughts on Nikki Glaser’s opening remarks Sunday night, taking to X to share that he thinks the roast comedian is “very, very good at this.” Glaser took on some of the biggest names in the crowd during this year’s Globes, even drawing laughs from the audience with a couple Diddy jokes. She earned a pat on the back from Stewart, who hosted the Oscars twice in 2006 and 2008, and declared it “the worst” job he’s ever had—but he seems to think Glaser was handling her hosting gig with excellent flair. In 2014, he told Seth Macfarlane on The Daily Show that “I [hosted the second time] because they thought, like in golf, ‘Boy that first shot sucked, do you want to hit again?’” That second time didn’t go so well either, as the show received some of its lowest ratings ever in 2008. Glaser, on the other hand, is racking up rave reviews.
Nikki Glaser is very very good at this.
