Glenn Close, a very well known American actress, was recently mentioned at the Golden Globes during a moment that went viral online with ties to System of a Down . This was both a surprise and comical moment in her career that had a positive result.
While hosting the 2025 Golden Globes, Nikki Glaser made a comical introduction for Glenn Close. During a presenter moment Nikki listed off the actress’s accomplishments as a way of introduction while adding to her intro she spent time as a drummer for the band System of a Down.
The joke received an immediate laugh from those in attendance. It showcased that the jokes were landing correctly while also being memorable for those who viewed that part of the show.
The band members took to social media after the award show to react with many fans chiming in to also add on to this humorous story line. The response from the group members has given new life to what initially may have just seemed like a random joke.
Daron Malakian a lead guitarist in System of a Down shared a video of the joke adding his own captions showcasing they actually worked together. His comment implied this may have taken place behind the scenes which caused even more conversation.
John Dolmayan , the drummer for System of a Down, responded by editing a picture of the band by putting in Glenn close as a drummer. He also put a statement that was a continuation of the jokes about it being previously secret. In a humorous tone he had said she had previously written most of their second album. He also gave credit to Conan O’Brian for having produced all their previous albums with a goal for more fans to see the humor in the connection.
It became a running gag among many with all parties including their fans understanding what was said was humorous and fictitious in a great spirit. This collaboration may have led to bringing more viewers in to learn about each group and their projects.
The comedian made light of putting the actress along side the music style of System Of A Down which was completely out of character making it a well done bit of stand up. Because both were in different areas of the entertainment world, it may be why this particular joke received such positive reaction.
The introduction mentioned the great career that Glenn Close has made which included being a three time Golden Globe winner and overall icon. This acknowledgment shows her many years of dedication to the screen.
Her past career includes many stand out parts and accolades which range over several genres showing that versatility. She has received a total of 3 Golden Globes which is still well noted as an accomplishment that sets a career on many different paths.
While that joke was going viral, the music industry had moments of success during this Golden Globes ceremony. This marked their third win in the same category showing a commitment and strong passion toward sound scores. The wins show all aspects from different sides were given highlights.
