The Golden Globes has a new host, and she’s ready to shake things up. Nikki Glaser is famous for her sharp wit and fearless humour.
She will be leading the charge at the 82nd annual Golden Globes.
NIKKI GLASER AND THE GOLDEN GLOBES
Nikki Glaser’s reputation for no-holds-barred comedy has generated great excitement.
This will be her debut as host, according to Daily Mail.
If her recent performances are any indication, she will deliver a memorable night for the audience. Nikki Glaser’s selection as host has certainly stirred excitement.
NIKKI GLASER’S ENERGY
“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes,” Glaser said.
“It’s one of my favourite nights of television. Now I get a front row seat—actually, I think I have to host from the stage.”
Her enthusiasm is palpable, and it’s clear she’s ready to take on the challenge.
THE GOLDEN GLOBES
The Golden Globes, set to air on 5 January 2025, will broadcast live and be available for streaming, according to Variety.
This prestigious award show celebrates both film and television. The show received criticism for being outdated in recent years.
However, Glaser’s appointment could signal a much-needed shift. “The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film, but also for comedy,” she added.
“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.”
CANDID HUMOUR
Glaser showcased her humour by hosting Tom Brady’s roast, which was a hit, according to Entertainment Tonight.
Her candid and irreverent style was a standout. It’s this same bold approach that she will bring to the Golden Globes.
“Some of my favourite jokes of all time have come from past Golden Globes opening monologues. Tina, Amy, or Ricky said exactly what we all didn’t know we desperately needed to hear,” Glaser reflected.
UNMATCHED COMEDY
“I hope to continue that time-honoured tradition, even if it might get me cancelled.”
The Golden Globes has a history of featuring provocative humour, and Glaser seems poised to continue that legacy.
“Nikki Glaser brings a fresh and unmatched candour to her comedy and to the Golden Globes,” said Jay Penske, Chairman and CEO of Dick Clark Productions and Penske Media Corporation.
“Her unapologetic style made her an obvious and compelling choice as host for this year’s event.”
NIKKI GLASER’S UNFILTERED HUMOUR
Helen Hoehne, President of the Golden Globes, echoed this sentiment.
“Nikki Glaser is a comedic powerhouse. Her daring and unfiltered humour perfectly matches the Golden Globes,” she said.
“She is sure to bring a unique energy and spontaneity to the show that will keep the audience entertained all night.”
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
Glaser’s career has been on the rise, with her critically acclaimed HBO comedy special Good Clean Filth in 2022 and an EMMY nomination for Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die.
She also hosts The Nikki Glaser Podcast and recently wrapped her global THE GOOD GIRL stand-up tour.
With her current ALIVE AND UNWELL tour extending through May 2025, Glaser’s plate is full, but she remains excited about her new role.
AN EVENT TO REMEMBER
Glaser’s hosting gig at the Golden Globes offers a chance to catch the show live or on streaming services.
It promises to be a night where humour takes centre stage, and Glaser’s fearless approach could very well make it an event to remember.
As the Golden Globes gears up for its big night, one thing is certain: Nikki Glaser is ready to make her mark.
