Emmy-nominated roast comedian Nikki Glaser will once again host the Golden Globes awards show in January 2026 after she hosted this year’s show, receiving very positive reviews.
“Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,” Glaser said in a statement on Thursday to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/golden-globes-nikki-glaser-to-return-as-host-in-2026-1236162520/">The Hollywood Reporter</a> following the announcement from CBS and the Golden Globes.
“I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from ‘The White Lotus,’ who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in season four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past,” she added.
President of the Golden Globes, Helen Hoehne, added that, “Nikki Glaser brought a refreshing spark and fearless wit to the Golden Globes stage this year. Her sharp humor and bold presence set the tone for an unforgettable night, making the ceremony feel vibrant and most of all fun.”
Despite Glaser’s praise as host, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/golden-globes-host-roasts-stars-for-trump-re-election">Golden Globes</a> actually saw a slight drop in ratings from the previous year, <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/golden-globes-2025-ratings-1236267097/">Variety</a> reported.
Nielsen showed a dip of two percent in the ratings for the awards show, with 9.3 million viewers, compared to the average of 9.4 million viewers the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/golden-globes-see-spike-in-ratings-for-first-time-since-2020">Golden Globes</a> brought in 2024.
Last year’s show was up 51 percent from when the show aired on NBC in 2023, when it drew an average of 6.25 million viewers — marking the second-smallest audience in the network’s 28 years of broadcasting the awards show, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/tv-ratings-sunday-jan-7-2024-1235782200/">per Nielsen</a>. 
To put this year’s numbers in context, before the pandemic, the Globes averaged nearly 20 million viewers between 2008-2019, the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2024-01-08/golden-globe-awards-9-4-million-viewers-cbs-robert-downey-jo-koy">LA Times</a> noted.
At this year’s show, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-not-ricky-gervais-golden-globes-host-promises-celebs-wont-be-offended-by-her-monologue">Glaser</a> took a page out of long-time Golden Globe’s host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/audience-response-makes-it-clear-golden-globe-viewers-want-ricky-gervais-back">Ricky Gervais</a> manual when she kicked off the night by roasting celebrities over President Donald Trump’s re-election.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Ricky Gervais&#039; Monologue - 2020 Golden Globes" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LCNdTLHZAeo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
In a clip posted on <a href="https://x.com/goldenglobes/status/1876077747359088733">X</a>, the comedian/host called out the biggest members of Hollywood for not being persuasive enough to convince people who to vote for in the 2024 election, as the majority of stars had been very vocal supporters of the Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I am not here to roast you tonight,” Glaser told the crowd after pointing out that she’s known for being a comedian on roasts. “I want you to know that. How could I really. You are all so famous. So talented.”
“So powerful,” she added. “I mean you could really do anything. I mean except tell the country who to vote for. But it’s okay, you&#8217;ll get them next time. If there is one. I’m scared.”
Ahead of the award night, the comedian hinted at what her monologue would be about — and took the opportunity to warn viewers that she wasn’t going to be just like Gervais, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-not-ricky-gervais-golden-globes-host-promises-celebs-wont-be-offended-by-her-monologue">reported</a>.
In January 2020, Gervais hosted the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCNdTLHZAeo">Golden Globes</a> and famously torched the stars, telling them, “So, if you do win an award tonight, don&#8217;t use it as a platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world.&#8221;
