Comedian Nikki Glaser is set to host the Golden Globe Awards on January 5, 2024. In preparation, she's been testing out new material in comedy clubs and relying on audience laughter to guide her choices for the big night.
If you even vaguely follow comedy, you’re probably already familiar with Nikki Glaser , whose Netflix roast of Tom Brady became one of the most viral moments of 2024.
For her next act, Glaser will be taking on the storied task of hosting the Golden Globe Awards on January 5, and in preparation, Glaser stopped by The Run-Through in late December to discuss everything from her true feelings about being roasted (spoiler: she’s not a fan) to her outfit plans for the Globes and her favorite comedy specials on Netflix. Listen to the full thing above—and read excerpts from the conversation below. Chloe Malle: What else is on the agenda for your trip to New York? Nikki Glaser: This is actually the last thing before I head to the airport. I live in St. Louis, but I’m in LA, preparing for the Golden Globes. I’m out there because there’s so many comedy clubs I can just run around and do sets all the time and test material. I walk onstage and go, “Hey, guys, I’m hosting the Golden Globes. Do you mind if I run some jokes? Please don’t tell anyone these jokes.” Malle: What if somebody records the set and posts it? Glaser: Well, if they do that, I’m screwed. I just kind of trust; I’m the same way with my purse and my things. I just trust people not to steal, and if they do, I’ll be disappointed in the world, but it hasn’t not worked out for me yet. Malle: What else are you doing for Globes prep? I feel like it’s a marathon, and you’re really in the last stretch. Glaser: It’s such a marathon! I mean, I’ve never trained for a marathon, but some days you’re running 20 miles, and some days it’s one mile. Last night I walked onstage and was like, “Your laughter is going to decide whether or not I do this at the Globes,” which I think is kind of cool for audiences, because then I’m like, “Watch it on CBS on January 5,” and then if you hear a joke that you liked and I do it at the Globes, you can tell your friends, “I told her to do that.
