There are people who are inspired by a simple definition of intelligence: ‘not saying out loud everything that comes into your head’. This is the case of the television presenter and alleged North American comedian Nikki Glaser, who on December 5 … In January, he hosted the Golden Globes ceremony in Beverly Hills and, since then, he has dared to reveal in a radio program some of the jokes about the great Hollywood stars that he would have liked to make but that he gave up in that cinematographic gala. The truth is that most of them are in such terrible taste that I should have given up commenting on them on the same radio station. The joke he had come up with for actor Adrien Brody, for his award-winning roles in ‘The Pianist’ and in ‘The Brutalist’ as a Holocaust survivor, was directly atrocious: “If I could go back in time I would have to thank him.” thanks to baby Hitler for his career.
I believe that, between the acute political incorrectness and the moral idiocy that leads to trivializing the darkest chapter in the History of the 20th century, there is a distance that, apparently, some minds do not know how to appreciate. Nikki Glaser must be convinced that everything that crosses her mind is witty and funny. So much so that, if he mysteriously had the basic prudence to carry out a timely exercise in self-censorship during that film festival, he could not afterwards suppress the desire for the world to know what he kept silent about and what his head is capable of.
I think about what reason this character could have had for not making that unfunny joke at the Golden Globes gala, which he later did on the radio, and it seems to me that it is, indeed, a true mystery. The key probably lies in the fact that fear weighs more than touch.
Yes. The most benign joke that was self-censored at that gala was the one that established – according to what was said – a similarity between the mechanical protagonist of the animated film ‘Wild Robot’ and ‘Nicole Kidman with two wines on top’. The brave Glaser confesses that she did not dare to say the joke for fear of the actress’s reaction. He dares now on a station, when he doesn’t have it in front of him. Mystery clarified.
