Meet Nikki Glaser, host of 2025 Golden Globes

Nikki Glaser is set to host the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, becoming the first woman to solo host the prestigious ceremony in its illustrious run, per marca.com. The 40-year-old comedian will take centre stage at the Beverly Hilton Hotel’s Grand Ballroom on January 5, 2025, marking a significant milestone in her already impressive career.

Adding to the evening’s excitement, Glaser isn’t just hosting – she’s also a nominee. The multi-talented performer has earned a nomination in the best comedy performance category for her HBO/Max special Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die, showcasing her characteristic blend of sharp wit and fearless humor.

Since launching her stand-up career in 2002, the Cincinnati native and University of Kansas English Literature graduate has built a formidable presence in the comedy world. Her breakthrough came with hosting Not Safe with Nikki Glaser in 2017, where she fearlessly tackled taboo subjects with her trademark candour. Her versatility further shone through as she took the reins of the dating reality show Blind Date in 2019 and made memorable appearances on high-profile comedy shows including The Comedy Central Roast and Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle.

The star-studded ceremony, featuring special guests like Elton John, promises to be a night of celebration and entertainment under Glaser’s direction. As she prepares to make history at one of entertainment’s biggest nights, all eyes will be on this boundary-breaking comedian who’s proven that humor knows no gender barriers.
