Comedian Nikki Glaser came in hot with her monologue on Saturday Night Live, making jokes about sex trafficking, rape, and child molestation. The first-time host joked about having “resting Ghislaine face,” and said her Gen Z female friends are afraid of human trafficking. “That was like, not a fear of mine ever in my twenties. In my twenties I just feared like, good old-fashioned rape, you know?” Glaser joked.

Although the material will have come as no surprise to fans of Glaser’s edgy material on her Comedy Central roast appearances over the years, some viewers found the jokes a step too far, especially since Glaser’s first sketch post-monologue focused on incest.

    Maybe it’s just me, I wasn’t rolling laughing at the jokes or anything but they weren’t so bad I’d write an article about them.

    It’s late night comedy, what did you expect? It’s supposed to be more crass. And yeah, “more afraid of it because I might like it” is a classic. Big whoop.

      You’re never going to be a hack writing sensationalist bullshit headlines with that attitude.

      It’s also Nikki Glaser, probably one of the most savage and unfiltered comedians working right now. You don’t bring her on without expecting people to make a stink.

        Just now started seeing her roasts on YouTube. My god, she’s a modern-day Don Rickles, nothing is out of bounds.

        Reminds me of Rickles roasting Sinatra’s mob ties. I was like, “Jesus. And Sinatra didn’t call in a hit on him?!”
