The Golden Globes are set to bring the glamour and entertainment once again, and this time, comedian Nikki Glaser is making her grand return as the host of the 83rd annual ceremony! Scheduled to take place in January 2026, the prestigious event will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+, promising a night filled with laughter, excitement, and unforgettable moments.
A Historic Comeback
Glaser, known for her razor-sharp wit and unfiltered humor, is stepping back into the spotlight for her second consecutive year as the host of the Globes. After a wildly successful debut in 2025, she’s ready to take center stage once more and elevate the show’s energy to new heights.
Reflecting on her first time hosting, Glaser couldn't contain her enthusiasm. "Hosting the Golden Globes this year was, without a doubt, the most fun I have ever had in my career," she shared. "I can't wait to do it again—especially now that ‘The White Lotus' cast will finally notice my talent and cast me in Season 4 as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past!"
Setting the Stage on Fire
Glaser’s fearless humor and electric stage presence turned the 2025 Golden Globes into one of the most talked-about award shows in recent memory. She made history as the first woman to serve as a solo host, a milestone that underscored both her comedic prowess and her ability to command the room with ease.
Her performance wasn’t just a hit with the audience but also earned high praise from industry insiders. Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, credited Glaser for bringing "a refreshing spark and fearless wit" to the stage. "Her sharp humor and bold presence set the tone for an unforgettable night, making the ceremony feel vibrant and, most of all, fun," Hoehne remarked.
A Comedic Masterclass
Critics, too, were quick to acknowledge Glaser’s standout debut. Variety TV critic Aramide Tinubu wrote that the former ‘FBoy Island’ host delivered a dynamic performance, touching on everything from the 2024 Presidential election results to the #MeToo movement. "She was vibrant and zingy from the moment she opened her mouth," Tinubu noted, emphasizing Glaser’s knack for keeping the energy high and the jokes rolling.
Her sharp takes didn’t spare Hollywood’s biggest stars either. Whether poking fun at Timothée Chalamet’s barely-there mustache or playfully calling out ‘Wicked’ stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo for their viral "holding space" interview, Glaser kept the room on its toes.
Looking Ahead to 2026
With Glaser at the helm once again, expectations are sky-high for the upcoming 83rd Golden Globes. If her first hosting gig was any indication, audiences can look forward to another night of side-splitting humor, bold punchlines, and those signature Glaser moments that make award shows worth watching.
The event will be planned, hosted, and produced by Dick Clark Productions, ensuring another top-tier production that blends Hollywood prestige with Glaser’s undeniable comedic genius.
Mark your calendars, because January 2026 is shaping up to be a Golden Globes for the books. And with Nikki Glaser running the show, anything can happen!
