Image Credit: UsWeeklyCBS and the Golden Globes have confirmed that comedian Nikki Glaser will return as the host for the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards in January 2026. The announcement, made on Thursday, March 13, follows Glaser’s well-received debut at the ceremony earlier this year.
Expressing her enthusiasm, Glaser described hosting the event as the most enjoyable experience of her career and looked forward to doing it again. Adding a touch of humor, she quipped about hoping to be cast in the next season of The White Lotus as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a mysterious past.
Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, praised Glaser for bringing a “refreshing spark and fearless wit” to the awards stage. She noted that the comedian’s presence created an engaging and entertaining atmosphere, setting a lively tone for the evening.
Glaser made history in January by becoming the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo, earning widespread acclaim. However, she later disclosed that her earnings were lower than those of previous male hosts. Speaking on The Howard Stern Show, she acknowledged the pay gap but remained content with her compensation, hinting at a potential increase for her next appearance.
Speculation had emerged about a multi-year hosting deal, but Glaser clarified last month that no official offer had been presented to her. Despite this, she expressed eagerness to return, emphasizing that she aimed to make audiences feel at ease and entertained without discomfort.
With Glaser’s return, the upcoming Golden Globes promises another engaging and humorous night in Hollywood.
