Nikki Glaser made a smashing debut as a first-time solo female host at the recently held Golden Globe Awards with her wit outshining the golden tickets single-handedly. In a recent episode of the Brilliant Idiots podcast, Andrew Schulz and Charlamagne tha God reflected on some of Glaser’s golden pot of jokes, giving her the pats for making the room “uncomfortable.” While the duo were on the lookout for some specific punchlines, Charlamagne saw a welcome change in “Trump era” comedy.

Charlamagne’s secret to a joke’s divine delivery lies in the conditioning of comedians being utterly unapologetic with a healthy dose of zero concern. He believes the hosts were ignorant of fidgeting with such subjects because they were either worried about the backlash with networks not airing it or losing sponsorships. Schulz noted that when networks care less, comedians follow suit, citing his own migration to YouTube and Instagram to illustrate he can change the stage but the brand of comedy remains non-negotiable.
