Comedian Nikki Glaser to Host the 2025 Golden Globe Awards
Forty-year-old comedian and actress Nikki Glaser has been tapped to host the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. This marks a significant career achievement for Glaser, who follows in the footsteps of comedic heavyweights such as Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Ricky Gervais, and many others. Glaser expressed her excitement in a press release, stating, “Some of my favorite jokes of all time have come from past Golden Globes opening monologues…I just hope to continue in that time-honored tradition (that might also get me canceled).” Her extensive experience in celebrity roasts and her sharp wit make her a compelling choice for the high-profile gig. Viewers can tune in to see her hosting debut on January 5th.
