Rare is an award host that delivers with each joke. She wasn’t rude, demeaning or cruel to the attendees. She had the delicate balance of being funny, spot on and classy. If the audience was wondering if she was going to be in “roast” mode, they need not be. Everything Ms. Glaser said was not mean spirited. Her material was fresh, pertinent and funny. This won’t be her last hosting event. Bravo!

[@detroitdiezel7856]

Maybe not rude and cruel for all the Hollywood weirdos but it sure was rude and crude to all the Diddy victims!

[@jeaniebeanie6]

​@@l.skynard8965 Pray tell, where did she joke about or roast the victims?? Like when?? Because what she did was call out Hollywood for perpetuating and participating in Diddy's horror. Then at the end goes on to talk about how there's likely someone in the audience who will get caught for something heinous in the years to come. She was truth bombing Hollywood. Might want to listen to her again buddy.

They're taking it easy on her. You never laughed at someone's joke because you wanted to give them a break eventhough it wasn't funny?
