Nikki Glaser is pulling back the curtain on her Golden Globes hosting gig and the jokes that never made it to air.

During her appearance on SiriusXM’s Howard Stern Show, the comedian admitted she had written a biting line about Sydney Sweeney but ultimately scrapped it.

Glaser explained that the ‘too cruel’ joke would have referenced Sweeney’s 2025 box office flop Christy, a biopic about boxer Christy Martin.

“Tonight is a night of celebration but we can’t ignore that it’s a weird time in Hollywood,” Glaser recalled the cut material.

“People just aren’t going to the theater to see things. If you don’t believe me, there was a movie this year where Sydney Sweeney played a le**ian who just bounced around in tiny shorts for two hours and it made $14.”

Glaser revealed that other stars including Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and Jonathan Bailey also narrowly escaped her sharper material.

Pitt would have been teased for playing a race car driver at 62, Roberts for her film After the Hunt, and Bailey for being named People’s Sexiest Man Alive.

Ultimately, Glaser said she cut those lines.

Despite the edits Glaser still delivered a sharp set poking fun at Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating history and Timothée Chalamet’s stature.

Soon after the first official trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, it had sent the Marvel community into a frenzy.

This time, it is portraying big faces and bigger stakes.

With the new Avengers movie set to be released in December 2026, now it feels like there’s no better time for an MCU rewatch.

The fact is the MCU is huge: films, Disney Plus shows, multiverse detours, and different timelines, so you can’t find a single way to stream it. But don’t worry, as we’ve got you covered.

Here’s a clean, easy-to-follow guide to help you catch up without losing the storyline.

Which MCU phase are we in now?

Marvel is currently moving through Phase Six. This phase is building directly towards Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

The multiverse no longer stands as a separate storyline—in fact, it’s the core story.

Projects from Phase Four onwards highlight tremendously broken timelines, substitute realities, and the results of Endgame.

Phase Six featured Fantastic Four: First Steps of Wakanda and Marvel Zombies, all roads lead to the next Avengers event.

What’s the best way to watch the MCU?

To watch the MCU right away, there are two main paths, and neither is wrong.

Release order is the simplest one. You stream it as audiences originally did and see the Marvel story unfold in order.

Chronological order is a bit messy, as it places stories where they fit inside the MCU timeline.

The following guide follows a release-based phase structure, the best way for both new and returning fans to watch.

John Forté, who collaborated with groups like the Fugees and Refugee Camp All-Stars, passed away at the age of 50.

The Grammy-nominated musician was reportedly found dead in his Chilmark, Mass. home on Monday afternoon, January 12.

The Martha’s Vineyard town’s police chief Sean Slavin issued a statement following the recording artist’s death claiming there were no signs of foul play or a “readily apparent cause of death.”

However, as the case is currently being investigated by the state medical examiner’s office, further details will come to light soon.

Breathing his last just 17 days before his 51st birthday, Forté was best known for his writing and production work on the Fugees’ second and final album, The Score.

The 1996’s multi-platinum bestseller received widespread critical and commercial acclaim and led to the music producer’s Grammy nomination at the age of 21.

The late musician also worked as a part of the ’90s music collective Refugee Camp All-Stars.

He landed his expertise on songs as Fugees member Wyclef Jean’s We Trying to Stay Alive, the first single off of his debut solo album The Carnival, and Rumble in the Jungle, also featuring Busta Rhymes and A Tribe Called Quest.

The Brooklyn-born released his solo debut album titled Poly Sci, which featured vocals from DMX, Fat Joe and Fugees member Pras.

Forté is survived by his wife, the photographer Lara Fuller, and two children.
