She then revealed that it was the Ben Affleck opening monologue quip that she phrased incorrectly. As a reminder, this is what Nikki said: “Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch — these are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms. These are some of the incredible movies nominated tonight.”

“It was supposed to be ‘when he orgasms’ and I said ‘after’ and it really bugged me,” Nikki clarified.

“It still works. It’s just less clear. It’s 2 percent more funny. And then there was a stumble on the television line…” she added.

And then, Howard asked how much money she made for the gig. She revealed she received less than past host Jerrod Carmichael, who said in 2023 he was paid $500,000 for hosting.

Nikki said, “There was a past host who said how much he got paid in his monologue. I got less than that. It’s OK. I’ll get more next year. I honestly would have done it for free, it’s such an insane platform.”
