Comedian Nikki Glaser is reportedly returning to host the Golden Globes in 2026 after her successful debut in 2023. Producers praised her performance, calling her a 'home run' and expressing their desire to see her continue hosting.
Nikki Glaser 's success at the Golden Globes is already paying off as she is reportedly set to return as host in 2026. Glaser, 40, signed a three-year deal last year to host the Golden Globes , according to Deadline. While the outlet reports that the comedian was paid more than $400,000 for her debut as host at the Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5, the fee will allegedly rise “significantly.' Before the report, the Golden Globes producers praised Glaser’s performance.
“We absolutely had a great experience with her, and think that she would be great at this in the long term,” executive producer Glenn Weiss told Variety on Monday, January 6, while teasing Glaser's potential return. “I can’t talk officially for anything. I will say, as someone who produces and directs award shows, she really found her niche here, and I think it really worked out beautifully on this show. And I would love to see it continue.” Fellow executive producer Ricky Kirshner called Glaser’s hosting skills 'a home run,' adding, “She really prepared. She did her homework. She’s been practicing material at clubs, sometimes four or five shows a night for a couple of weeks straight, working on this pretty hard since November.' Kirshner continued: 'When you have a host that’s that prepared and that dedicated and also not tone deaf, listening to what’s going on in our business and even in the room on the fly, she’s really good at this. And she proved herself to be a really good host ... It’s meant to be fun and a party. And Nikki, her whole tone and and her way of being is really in line with what this show is. And I think she really scored very well last night.” Glaser made history as the first woman to host the show on her own. Her monologue specifically received positive reviews from critics and social media viewers. “Tonight, we celebrate the best of film and hold space for television,” she quipped on Sunday
