Nikki Glaser to Host 2025 Golden Globes
Nikki Glaser is set to host the 2025 Golden Globes on January 5!
The comedian released a statement saying she was “thrilled” to be helming the award show.
“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 said. “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).”
Glaser continued, “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. 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 Four’ will be nominated, right?).”
Nikki, who is known for her stand-up, recently made a splash at “The Roast of Tom Brady" with her savage one-liners.
Tune in to CBS and Paramount+ from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. PT/8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET on January 5 to watch the Golden Globes.
