Nikki Glaser, the incredibly talented and highly acclaimed comedian known for her sharp wit, clever humor, and engaging performances that resonate with many, has officially been announced as the enthusiastic host for the prestigious 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards, which is proudly scheduled to take place on January 5, 2025. This highly anticipated and glamorous event will be broadcast live from 8 to 11 p.m. ET/PT on CBS, and it will also be available for streaming on Paramount+ in the United States, allowing fans and viewers to enjoy the star-studded ceremony from the comfort and convenience of their own homes, making it an event not to be missed.
Glaser expressed her excitement about hosting the event, noting the Golden Globes as a significant night for both TV and film, particularly for comedy. “It’s an exciting, yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable, and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars,” said Glaser. She hopes to follow in the footsteps of previous hosts like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Ricky Gervais by delivering memorable jokes and moments.
Over the years, Glaser has become a prominent figure in comedy with her daring and unfiltered style. She has hosted several TV shows and specials, including the Netflix roast of Tom Brady and the HBO specials “Good Clean Filth” and “Someday You’ll Die,” the latter earning her an Emmy nomination. Currently, she hosts “The Nikki Glaser Podcast” and the reality show “Lovers and Liars.”
Officials from the Golden Globes and Dick Clark Productions have wholeheartedly praised Glaser’s unique comedic style and expressed genuine enthusiasm for what she will bring to the prestigious awards show. “Nikki Glaser is truly a comedic powerhouse whose daring and unfiltered humor is the perfect match for the Golden Globes,” said Helen Hoehne, the president of the Golden Globes, highlighting the excitement surrounding Glaser's involvement in the event.
The 2024 Golden Globes experienced a notable rise in viewership, drawing in about 10 million enthusiastic viewers across all platforms, which indicates a positive trend for the prestigious awards ceremony. This exciting upcoming event, with Glaser at the helm as the creative force behind the production, is widely anticipated to continue this impressive success and possibly even exceed expectations.
