In the glitz and glam of Hollywood, when something works, it really works. Nikki Glaser's return as host for the 84th Annual Golden Globe Awards on January 10, 2027, is a testament to that rare phenomenon. Announced today by CBS and the Golden Globes, this marks Glaser's third consecutive year emceeing the star-studded event.
Glaser first graced the Golden Globes stage solo in 2025, making history as the first woman to do so. Her 2026 monologue didn't just break the internet – it shattered it with nearly 14 million views in its first 36 hours. It's safe to say Glaser has become more than just a comedian known for her roasts; she's now the modern face of the awards ceremony.
“Nikki's approach is a unique blend of brutal honesty and heartfelt humor,” said a source close to the Golden Globes team. “She targets industry absurdities without crossing into meanness.”
Nikki Glaser's comedic style has been compared to that of Ricky Gervais – a tightrope walk of "insult comedy with a heart." Her signature approach at the Golden Globes? Lampoon the industry's quirks while keeping things light enough for even the A-listers to chuckle.
She often opens with self-deprecating humor, sharing her own "imposter syndrome" tales to disarm her audience. Glaser's knack for addressing the elephant in the room is legendary; in her first hosting gig, she called it "Ozempic's biggest night," setting the tone for the evening.
Her razor-sharp monologues, especially in 2026, tackled everything from CBS News' editorial standards to the "Epstein files." Rolling Stone crowned her performance a "Master Class" in awards show humor, a feat not easily achieved.
Bringing Nikki Glaser back for 2027 was a no-brainer for the Golden Globes. After a series of host-less years and so-so receptions (remember Jo Koy in 2024?), Glaser has brought a touch of stability and a splash of viral success.
Her monologues have become social media sensations, with the 2026 set raking in 14 million views within just two days – a reach that goes far beyond traditional TV broadcasts.
Glaser shattered the "curse" of female solo hosts, proving she could command a room just as effectively as Tina Fey or Amy Poehler. Known for her meticulous prep work, she tests her jokes in front of live audiences to make sure they hit home without leaving a bad taste in anyone's mouth.
