The comedian Nikki Glaser told reporters she would avoid addressing President Donald Trump in the days leading up to her second turn hosting the Golden Globes.
"No, I don't think he should even watch," Glaser told Reuters ahead of the Jan. 11 fête. "I'm not going to say his name; I'm not going to mention him. He can sit this one out."
Glaser's comments came less than a week after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, dividing the nation over the circumstances surrounding her death.

The Globes previously hoped to separate itself from the country's political divides, especially as the awards ceremony was set to be aired on CBS. Some believe the network has done Trump's bidding during his second term. CBS' parent company Paramount paid $16 million to settle a lawsuit with Trump last July after he claimed that "60 Minutes" deceptively edited an interview with 2024 election opponent Kamala Harris.
