Nikki Glaser to Host 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards

Comedian Nikki Glaser has been announced as the host of the 82nd Golden Globe Awards set to take place in January 2025. Glaser expressed her excitement and shared her aspirations for the role, emphasizing the honor and challenge of hosting the prestigious event.

Comedian Nikki Glaser will host the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards in January 2025, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter.

Glaser expressed her excitement in a statement, saying, '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 described the Golden Globes as a significant night for TV, film, and comedy, noting its unique blend of formality and humor. '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). 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 called it a dream job.

Reflecting on the legacy of past hosts, 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).' She humorously noted that her binge-watching of TV shows and movies was justified by this opportunity. 'It was all worth it. (Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Season Four will be nominated, right?).' The 82nd annual Golden Globes will air on Sunday, January 5. (ANI)
