“Some of my favorite jokes of all time have come from past Golden Globes opening monologues when Tina [Fey], Amy [Poehler] or Ricky [Gervais] have said exactly what we all didn’t know we desperately needed to hear," Glaser continued. “I just hope to continue in that time-honored tradition (that might also get me canceled).”
