Comedian Nikki Glaser is set to return as the host for the 83rd annual Golden Globes, with the prestigious awards ceremony scheduled to take place in January 2026. The event will be broadcast live on CBS and available for streaming on Paramount+. This marks Glaser's second consecutive year as the host, following her successful debut in the 2025 edition of the Golden Globes.
Expressing her excitement, Glaser stated, “Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career. I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from ‘The White Lotus’ who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in Season 4 as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.” Glaser’s playful and humorous approach is anticipated to bring a unique flair to the event once again.
Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, praised Glaser's contributions, stating, “Nikki Glaser brought a refreshing spark and fearless wit to the Golden Globes stage this year. Her sharp humor and bold presence set the tone for an unforgettable night, making the ceremony feel vibrant and, most of all, fun.” Glaser's ability to engage the audience and create a lively atmosphere is a significant factor in her return as host.
During her first tenure as host, Glaser made history by becoming the first woman to serve as a solo host of the Golden Globes. This groundbreaking achievement not only highlights her comedic talent but also sets a precedent for future hosts. Variety TV critic Aramide Tinubu remarked on her impressive debut, noting, “The ex-‘FBoy Island’ host covered a wide range of topics, including the 2024 Presidential election results and the MeToo movement, and was vibrant and zingy from the moment she opened her mouth.”
Glaser’s performance was characterized by her insightful commentary on various topics, including Timothée Chalamet’s sparse mustache and the viral interview featuring ‘Wicked’ stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Her overarching themes and numerous laugh-out-loud moments were instrumental in revitalizing the Golden Globes, restoring its delightful glory that fans have come to cherish.
The 83rd annual Golden Globes will be planned, hosted, and produced by Dick Clark Productions, ensuring that the ceremony maintains its high standards and entertainment value. With Glaser at the helm, the anticipation for this year's event continues to build, promising a night filled with laughter, recognition, and celebration of the best in film and television.
