Nikki Glaser, a 40-year-old American comedian, has been chosen to host the Golden Globe Awards in 2025. The Golden Globe Authority's Helen Hoehne praised her as a "comedy force," with an "unapologetic and frank humor" that fits the role perfectly.
Glaser acknowledged the challenge ahead, describing the event as a "tough gig." She's aware that she'll be sharing the stage with Hollywood's biggest stars, possibly "sipping champagne while seated next to their most recent heartbreaks." But she's determined to honor the legacy of past hosts like Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler.
Glaser is a renowned comedian, renowned for her stand-up comedy, podcasts, and talk show hosting. She's also made notable appearances in television series and comedies like "The Dating Queen."
The 82nd ceremony will take place on January 5, 2025, in Beverly Hills. Approximately 300 international journalists will vote for the winners.

The awards were presented in 27 film and TV categories. The live telecast attracted around ten million viewers on CBS.
Glaser is excited about the opportunity to be recognized at the Golden Globe Awards, considering it a significant milestone in her comedic career. Despite the pressure, she's determined to deliver a performance as captivating as her idols, including Tina Fey, who have won numerous awards throughout their careers.
Glaser prepared for the event meticulously, testing her material and honing her monologue. Her witty commentary, impeccable timing, and charm left both Hollywood's elite and viewers at home applauding.
