The comedian hosted the show, held in Hollywood on January 11, and opened with a monologue which took playful jabs at those in attendance. When turning her focus to the Titanic actor, she said: “What a career Leonardo DiCaprio has had. Countless iconic performances, you’ve worked with every great director, you’ve won three Golden Globes and an Oscar — and the most impressive thing is you were able to accomplish all that before your girlfriend turned 30.”

Looking disappointed, she added: “Leo, I’m sorry I made that joke. It is cheap. I tried not to, but, like, we don’t know anything else about you, man. There’s nothing else. Open up! I’m serious! I looked! I searched! The most in-depth interview you’ve ever given was for Teen Beat magazine in 1991. Is your favourite food still ‘Pasta, pasta and more pasta?’”
The actor took the joke in good spirits, and during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, she explained that there was an unusual exchange between the two in the days after the ceremony.

“After I do it, I always send flowers to everyone that I made fun of that was a good sport about it, which was everyone, just to say thank you, because it is a part of why I’m successful at it,” she said, before revealing that DiCaprio was the only person to reply. “He sent me three baskets of pasta as a ‘thank you’. So funny. So good. And part of me was like, ‘Does Leo want to smash?’”
Earlier this year, Nikki Glaser revealed a joke about Sydney Sweeney that was cut from her Golden Globes monologue because the star was not in attendance. As for DiCaprio, he is reportedly joining Christian Bale in a sequel to 1995 thriller Heat.
