Comedian Nikki Glaser is ready for her first time hosting the Golden Globes, having practiced her monologue 93 times. While she's put in significant work, Glaser emphasizes that there's room for improvisation and she's excited to see what unfolds during the show.
“93,” Glaser, 40, told E! News on the red carpet ahead of the awards show of how many times she practiced her monologue. “ will be my 94th time telling some version of this. I mean, it’s still changed even from the last time I told it until now, so we’re constantly making edits, trying to top jokes, trying to strike the right note and tone for the evening. But a lot of work has gone into it.”
“I don’t want people to think, ‘Oh she’s just reciting some monologue.’ I practice so much, so that when I get up there, I’m off-book and I can just be in it,” she said. “And then that’s when stuff’s gonna start coming out that wasn’t planned. And so now I know it so well that I can be myself up there.”
“I am feeling so ready,” she said on the red carpet. “I can’t wait to perform. The nerves aren’t there yet. I just got done with rehearsal, I feel so comfortable with it. I just am like, ‘God I can’t wait to tell this to a room full of people.’ It’s going to be so much fun.” Included in Glaser’s 93 practice rounds were nine performances in and around Los Angeles over just a few days leading up to the show.
