Nikki Glaser Cut Caitlyn Jenner Joke From Comedy Central Roast After She Threatened to Pull Out of Event: ‘I Just Needed to Hear It From Her’

Nikki Glaser is not one to pull punches, and yet the comedian and Golden Globes host revealed that she once cut a joke from a Comedy Central roast after Caitlyn Jenner threatened to pull out of the event.
Speaking at the Time100 Summit in New York, Glaser said she was workshopping her material around Los Angeles before the telecast — likely the roast of Alec Baldwin — and Jenner had caught wind of a joke she had prepared about Jenner’s involvement in a fatal car wreck.
Glaser said she was “nervous” about performing material about the car crash and asked Comedy Central if she could give Jenner a warning. Glaser said the network told her not to, fearing Jenner would back out. Still, Jenner heard about the joke ahead of the roast. “[Jenner] said if there’s a joke like that, I don’t want to be a part of it,” Glaser said.
