A good host is hard to find, and that's especially true when it comes to running one of the biggest ceremonies of the year. Hosting duties of a live event is a very tough job, but comedian Nikki Glaser, who took on hosting the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, made it look effortless when she ran the show earlier this year to stellar reviews from critics. Following the ceremony, many wondered if she would be asked back for next year's show, given how well she did, and now that answer has finally been revealed.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Glaser will officially host the Golden Globes next year, which is scheduled to take place on CBS in January 2026. Glaser earned raves for her hosting duties this year as she brought some of her roasting sensibilities to the show without being overly offensive and managed to celebrate, with humor, film and television.

Aside from the peculiar appearance of a certain flightless waterfowl, Saturday night’s WGA Awards were a familiar affair.

“Hacks” won its second trophy in four years for Best Comedy Series, as well as its second trophy in the same span for Best Episodic Comedy, continuing a victory parade that began at the 2024 Emmys when it upset “The Bear” for the top prize. That hot streak has continued into 2025 with wins at the Casting Society of America, Costume Designers Guild Awards, Directors Guild Awards, Producers Guild Awards, and AFI Awards, among others. With Season 4 having wrapped production in January, creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky’s Max original should enter the 2025 Emmy season as the presumptive favorite.

The season’s dominant drama, “Shōgun,” won’t be back in time to compete in 2025 — the writers’ room is still plugging away at Season 2 — but its Season 1 winning streak also...

Awards-watchers are accustomed to waiting for the end of every awards show to see the big film categories handed out, but Saturday’s Writers Guild Awards threw everybody for a loop by making the film awards the first two categories of the night in simultaneous ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York.

“Nickel Boys” won the first award of the night, for Best Adapted Screenplay, and “Anora” won the second, for Best Original Screenplay. The awards led off the shows because the BAFTA Awards are taking place in London on Sunday, with the categories’ early placement giving “Nickel Boys” writers RaMell Ross and Joslyn Barnes and “Anora” writer Sean Baker more time to get to London.

In the television categories that ended the show, “Shōgun” and “Hacks” continued the roll they’ve been on since last September’s Emmy Awards, with the former show winning three awards and the latter show winning two.

“Shōgun” dominated with three wins at the Writers Guild Awards on Saturday evening — including best drama, while “Hacks” scored two on the TV side, including best comedy. In film, “Anora” and “Nickel Boys” scored big wins, giving both entries a bit more momentum as Oscar voting ends on Tuesday. “Anora,” coming off Critics Choice, DGA and PGA wins for best picture last weekend, picked up the original screenplay prize for Sean Baker. “Nickel Boys,” which has two Oscar noms, won the WGA award for RaMell Ross and Joslyn Barnes.

“Shōgun” was the night’s big winner, picking up prizes for best drama, best new series and best drama episode. On the comedy side, “Hacks” also scored a double play, landing best comedy and best comedy episode. In the limited field, “The Penguin” scored the series win.

Meanwhile, it was the first WGA noms and wins for Baker, Ross and Barnes.

Nikki Glaser was not only the host of Sunday’s Golden Globes, she was a first-time nominee.

The stand-up comedian was nominated in the Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television for her HBO special Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die. However, Glaser lost to Ali Wong and her Netflix special Single Lady.

When Glaser took the stage again, she acknowledged her loss and roasted herself while at it.

“I’m a first-time Golden Globe loser, Nikki Glaser,” she said. “You know what? I may not have won tonight but on the bright side, I just made $11,000 betting on Ali Wong on a European gambling site. So, you lose some, you win some.”

Comedians that were also nominated in the same category as Glaser and Wong included Seth Meyers (Dad Man Walking), Ramy Youssef (More Feelings), Jamie Foxx (What Had Happened Was), and Adam Sandler (Love...

Following back-to-back misfires with Golden Globe hosts Jo Koy and Jerrod Carmichael, it was Nikki Glaser‘s chance to take the reins of Hollywood’s biggest party on Sunday.

During her 10-minute monologue (watch above), the stand-up comedian walked a fine line between poking fun of the A-list celebrities in attendance and giving them their proverbial flowers for making it to the Beverly Hilton as either nominees, presenters, or guests.

She started off with a joke about how the event should really be called “Ozempic’s biggest night.” She let everyone know that she was not there to roast them, because they were so “powerful” they could do anything … “except tell the country who to vote for.” She asked Ariana Grande to “hold [her] finger,” a joke to the ongoing Wicked press tour between Grande and Cynthia Erivo. “My boyfriend’s boyfriend really loved Wicked,” Glaser later teased.

Tonight, January 5, 2025, the 2025, 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards are set to air Live on CBS in the 7 pm central standard time slot. We've got some preview information for the event in this article. For those of you who don't know, the Golden Globe Awards is an awards show for the film and television industry. This year's award show is going to be hosted by female comedian Nikki Glaser. And a fun fact. Nikki is actually one of the award nominees this year too. She was nominated for "Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television" for her comedy special titled, "Nikki Glaser: Someday You'll Die." The nominations for this year's award show were revealed back on December 9, 2024. The musical/thriller movie, "Emilia Pérez" reportedly scored a whopping 10 nominations. So, look for that movie to possibly get a lot of possible award action tonight.

The Golden Globes are the first big event of the 2025 awards season, giving out awards to the best films and TV shows of 2024, though the ceremony has always been much less of a draw than many of the other awards shows. While the most important aspect of the ceremony is, of course, which film and TV projects will take home the most awards, another very important part of the ceremony is the host, and how they will shape how the show goes throughout the night.

The question of the continued importance of the Golden Globes when the Oscars are so dominant in the awards season remains, but they are still leading the charge as the first event that defines how the next few months of ceremonies may go. With the 2025 Oscar nominees not even announced yet, everyone is looking to this event to see how the films of the year are generally perceived by voters,...

Comedian and show producers expect to rebound a year after Jo Koy’s rough outing. “We’re going to get the best of Nikki. It’s going to hit really early and really well.”

During the Golden Globe Awards red carpet rollout Thursday, on a sun-kissed morning at the Beverly Hilton, Nikki Glaser — the comedian tasked with taming the perpetually tough room at this Sunday’s ceremony — emerged boisterous and confident despite some grim recent history. It was only last year, after all, that another stand-up comic, Jo Koy, hired just 10 days before the show, lost the audience early in his monologue and never recovered. The reviews savaged him. “Wildly offensive” was one of the milder observations.

“It wasn’t the greatest night for him or us,” Glenn Weiss, who along with Ricky Kirshner are again serving as executive producers and showrunners for this year’s Globes, admits to Gold Derby.

The presenters for the 82nd annual Golden Globes awards ceremony have been announced, The Hollywood Reporter reports. The star-studded lineup will take the stage alongside host Nikki Glaser, the Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated comedian and actress, and the first woman to host the show solo.

The full list of presenters are as follows: Andrew Garfield, Anthony Mackie, Anthony Ramos, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ariana DeBose, Aubrey Plaza, Auliʻi Cravalho, Awkwafina, Brandi Carlile, Catherine O'Hara, Colin Farrell, Colman Domingo, Demi Moore, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Édgar Ramírez, Elton John, Gal Gadot, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, Jennifer Coolidge, Kaley Cuoco, Kate Hudson, Kathy Bates, Ke Huy Quan, Kerry Washington, Margaret Qualley, Melissa McCarthy, Michael Keaton, Michelle Yeoh, Miles Teller, Mindy Kaling, Morris Chestnut, Nate Bargatze, Nicolas Cage, Rachel Brosnahan, Rob McElhenney, Salma Hayek Pinault, Sarah Paulson, Seth Rogen, Sharon Stone, Vin Diesel, Viola Davis and Zoë Kravitz.

New Golden Globes owner Dick Clark Prods. is planning a major expansion of the franchise this year, adding two more events alongside the usual 2025 awards ceremony. For the first time, the Globes plans to throw a separate event to honor the recipients of its two largest honorary kudos: Cecil B. DeMille winner Viola Davis and Carol Burnett Award winner Ted Danson will be feted at a gala dinner on Friday, Jan. 3, two days before the main telecast on Sunday, Jan. 5. Also, the Globes is planning a luncheon to recognize first-time nominees.

Like the main Golden Globes ceremony, the Cecil B. DeMille/Carol Burnett gala will take place at the Beverly Hilton. The event won’t be televised, but excerpts from the moments that Davis and Danson are honored will be excerpted and included in a pre-taped package during the 82nd Annual Golden Globes broadcast.

Nikki Glaser is perhaps best known for being a comedian and an actress — and now a Golden Globes host — but did you know she’s also an accomplished singer? “It was the first dream I ever had in wanting to be a performer,” she revealed in 2022 after being voted out of “The Masked Singer” while wearing a Snowstorm costume (watch above). Glaser’s musical chops brought her all the way to the Semi-Finals during Season 8 of Fox’s wild and wacky reality TV, but alas, she was bested by Amber Riley as Harp and Wilson Phillips as Lambs.

As the hilarious Roast legend explained at the time, her dream of singing “was squashed at such a young age and it just became something that was not attainable to me.” She added, “When this opportunity came up, it was so perfect. I think what held me back was the fact that...

The Emmy-nominated comedian and actress Nikki Glaser has been tapped to host the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, which will air live January 5, 2025 for the second time on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes.,” Glaser wrote in a statement. “It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front-row seat. The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film, but also for comedy. It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows, but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so).. It’s an exciting, yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes).”

Watch out, Golden Globe nominees: Nikki Glaser is hosting next year.

The popular comedian and scathing celebrity roaster will host the 82nd annual Golden Globes in January.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes,” Glaser wrote in a statement. “It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front row seat (actually, I think I have to host from the stage). The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film but also for comedy. It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). (God I hope so.)

On the morning of July 17, Nikki Glaser’s phone was flooded with texts from people all sending the same word: Emmy. It took the comedian a beat to understand.

“I thought maybe I was presenting at the Emmys or something,” she told TheWrap. “I was like, ‘Oh, I’m nominated?’ Like, someone had to actually say that to me before I understood.”

That’s how shocked the performer behind HBO’s “Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die” was by her special’s two nominations. This year, Glaser is the only female-led show to be nominated in the Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) category, where the other nominees feature Billy Joel, Dave Chappelle, Trevor Noah and Dick Van Dyke. Her editor Guy Harding was also nominated for Outstanding Picture Editing for Variety Programming for the special.
