Nikki Glaser to Bring Her Bold Comedy to the 2025 Golden Globes
In an exciting twist for the Golden Globes, comedian Nikki Glaser has been announced as the host for the 2025 awards ceremony. Known for her sharp wit and fearless humor, Glaser is set to take center stage on January 5, 2025, broadcasting live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. This announcement comes as a refreshing change from the previous year’s host, Jo Koy, whose last-minute preparation led to a less-than-stellar reception.
Glaser's appointment marks a significant shift in the tone of the Golden Globes. With a reputation for her edgy and often irreverent comedy, she is poised to inject a new level of excitement into the event. Her humor has been celebrated for its unfiltered candor, making her a perfect fit for the Golden Globes' tradition of playful jabs at Hollywood’s elite. In a recent statement, Glaser expressed her enthusiasm for the role, drawing inspiration from past hosts like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Ricky Gervais. She remarked, “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).”

Glaser’s career has been marked by her fearless approach to comedy, as seen in her standout performances at roasts and her critically acclaimed HBO special, "Someday You’ll Die." Her recent Emmy nomination for this special, which delved into provocative topics with her characteristic boldness, only underscores her readiness for this high-profile role. Jay Penske, Chairman and CEO of Dick Clark Productions and Penske Media Corporation, praised Glaser’s selection, stating, “Nikki Glaser brings a fresh and unmatched candor to her comedy and to the Golden Globes. Her unapologetic style made her an obvious and compelling choice as host for this year’s event.”
The Golden Globes has seen fluctuating viewer ratings over recent years, with the 2024 broadcast drawing an impressive 9.4 million viewers, a notable increase from the previous year. Despite the high profile of guests like Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, and Leonardo DiCaprio, the event faced criticism due to Jo Koy’s less-than-smooth delivery. With Glaser stepping in, there is a strong hope that her dynamic and unfiltered humor will revitalize the show’s appeal and deliver a memorable night of television.
In a statement reflecting on her upcoming role, Glaser shared her excitement and sense of responsibility. “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),” she said. Her remarks highlight her anticipation and the high stakes of her new role. As Glaser prepares for this major gig, the industry and audiences alike are eager to see how her unique brand of comedy will shape the 2025 Golden Globes, setting the stage for what promises to be a night full of laughter and candid commentary.
