Nikki Glaser to Host the Golden Globes for a Third Consecutive Year

Nikki Glaser is set to host the Golden Globe Awards for a third year in a row, solidifying her role as a mainstay of the prestigious awards ceremony. The 85th Golden Globes are scheduled for January 10, 2027, on CBS.

A Proven Host

Glaser’s previous two hosting stints have been met with praise for her sharp wit and ability to engage both the audience and the Hollywood elite. Her comedic approach, which embraces the often-unfiltered nature of the Golden Globes, has resonated with viewers and critics alike. Rolling Stone noted her understanding of the awards demonstrate’s core elements: “vanity, glitz, booze, celebrities desperate for camera time, cheap jokes about plastic surgery.”

Golden Globes’ Host History

The Golden Globes haven’t experienced a consistent hosting streak since Ricky Gervais’s tenure in the 2010s, followed by a period with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. In recent years, the ceremony has experimented with different hosts, including Jerrod Carmichael and Jo Koy, before returning to Glaser.

Industry Response

Helen Hoehne, president of Golden Globes LLC, expressed enthusiasm about Glaser’s return, stating, “Her comedic precision, authenticity, and ability to command the room is unmatched, and we can’t wait to see what she has up her sleeve for next year’s show.”

Glaser’s 2026 Performance

During the 2026 Golden Globes, Glaser notably roasted Leonardo DiCaprio for his dating history, specifically his preference for younger women. Entertainment Weekly and People reported on the monologue, highlighting her willingness to tackle topical and often-discussed celebrity narratives. She similarly joked about Timothée Chalamet and his relationship with Kylie Jenner.

Glaser herself acknowledged the joke about DiCaprio was “cheap,” but defended it by stating, “we don’t realize anything else about you, man.”

Looking Ahead

With her third consecutive year hosting the Golden Globes, Nikki Glaser is poised to continue shaping the tone of the awards show, bringing her signature comedic style to one of Hollywood’s biggest nights.
