Nikki Glaser Set to Host Golden Globes


It sounds like the 82nd Golden Globes are gearing up for an exciting night with Nikki Glaser as the host. Glaser, known for her sharp wit and comedic chops, should bring a fresh and lively energy to the event. The choice of host has been quite varied over the years, from the biting humor of Ricky Gervais to the more subtle and nuanced styles of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and even the absence of a host in 2022.


Given Glaser's background, the ceremony is likely to be filled with humor that might push boundaries, in line with her stand-up style. It'll be interesting to see how she navigates the evening, especially considering the diverse range of past hosts. The move to air the ceremony on CBS and stream it on Paramount+ continues to reflect how award shows are adapting to changing viewing habits.


“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes. 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),” Glaser, wrote in a statement. “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). 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)."


“Some of my favorite jokes of all time have come from past Golden Globes opening monologues when Tina, Amy, or Ricky have said exactly what we all didn’t know we desperately needed to hear,” Glaser added. “I just hope to continue in that time honored tradition (that might also get me canceled). This is truly a dream job. Plus, I no longer have to feel guilty for every TV show and movie I’ve binged over the past year. It was all worth it. (Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Season 4 will be nominated, right?).”
