Not every jokes makes it into the Golden Globes.

After Nikki Glaser’s recent backlash, perhaps a little editing was a good idea on her part.

As it turns out, one of her jokes was an unkind jab over Sydney Sweeney’s lesbian biopic.

However, it’s no longer a secret. Nikki’s sharing it now.

The Golden Globes may be our least serious mainstream award show

On Sunday, January 11, the Golden Globes took place.

Nikki Glaser got on stage and roasted plenty of big names.

It’s all part of what may be the silliest mainstream awards show.

But, as she is now revealing, she held back a little.

Sydney Sweeney was one of those whose joke didn’t make it into the show. She also had jabs for Brad Pitt and Sean Penn that audiences never heard.

Nikki joined The Howard Stern Show to discuss her Golden Globes zingers — and the ones that we never heard.

She told the controversial talk show host about what people might have heard (and about why they didn’t).

Nikki recited her joke for Stern and for listeners.

“People just aren’t going to the theater to see things,” she quipped.

“If you don’t believe me, there was a movie this year where Sydney Sweeney played a lesbian who just bounced around in tiny shorts for two hours,” Nikki continued, “and it made $14.”

‘Christy’ did not rake in billions at the box office

That joke is, of course, about Christy.

In the film, Sydney Sweeney portrayed legendary boxer Christy Martin.

Though Nikki is deliberately misrepresenting the film (which is a biopic and covers domestic violence and more), that, too, is part of the joke.

And it’s true that the film was a box office bomb.

Biopics are sometimes commercial successes. This one was not. Sydney likely wanted more artistic representation for Christy.

As Nikki explained it, she didn’t do the joke for one simple reason:

Sydney did not actually attend this year’s Golden Globes.

Sometimes, people who are receiving awards cannot make it. Filming schedules and real life emergencies can and do happen.

In this case, well, there was really no need for her to show up.

Notably, the Golden Globes snubbed her.

‘Christy’ was never going to be a blockbuster

Sydney Sweeney knew that Christy wasn’t going to blow up at the box office.

It’s a biopic, striving for authenticity and artistry, not for mainstream popularity.

Meanwhile, her most recent film has been such a success that a sequel has already received the green light.

With that in mind, we think that Sydney can take some jabs (not an intentional boxing pun, but it works).

With or without commercial success, she can make headlines and heads spin wherever she goes.

Putting “Sydney Sweeney” and “OnlyFans” in the same sentence is a surefire way to stir up interest on social media.

And Euphoria showrunner Sam Levinson might have had that in mind when he came up Sydney’s storyline for the show’s third season.

Yes, the first trailer for Euphoria Season 3 dropped today, and it seems that Sydney’s character, Cassie, is now engaged to Nate Jacobs and creating adult content for a living.

Cassie seems to have found a very specific niche, as the two scenes that show her posing for the camera also show her dressed as a dog.

At one point, she quite literally shakes her tail, a moment that’s sure to be heavily GIF-ed in the weeks to come.

There was a time when a third season of Euphoria seemed unlikely, despite the show’s popularity.

After all, several members of the show’s cast — including Sydney and her onscreen fiancé, Jacob Elordi — have gone on to become major stars, and there were concerns that they might not want to return to the small-screen high school that made them famous.

And the last season, aired back in 2022, meaning that the cast — most of him are now approaching 30 — would be somewhat less believable as high school students, presenting producers with a Stranger Things-esque dilemma.

Well, we might never know how Levinson solved the first problem, but he came up with a clever workaround for the second:

According to a voice-over from Zendaya’s Rue, the narrative picks up “several years” after high school.

Nate is working construction, Rue is still mixed up in the world of hard drugs (although she appears to be clinging to sobriety), Maddie is stripping, Jules is a “sugar baby,” and Cassie, of course, is creating furry content.

Needless to say, things haven’t worked out as planned for the telegenic graduates of East Highland High School.

But the time jump will undercut one major criticism of the show — namely that the storylines involving large-scale drug smuggling and international crime syndicates were starting to seem ridiculous in the context of a show about suburban high schoolers.

Zendaya remains the moral and narrative center of the show, but Sydney has become arguably the most famous actress on the planet since the days Euphoria Season 2, so expect much of this week’s trailer discourse to revolve around Cassie.

Sadly, the trailer serves to remind us that one of the show’s breakout stars, Angus Cloud, passed away in 2023.

Barbie Ferreira will also not be returning, having reportedly clashed with Levinson on set.

Euphoria Season 3 will debut on HBO and HBO Max on April 12.
