Comedian Nikki Glaser will be bringing the laughs to the Golden Globes once again in 2026.
CBS and the Golden Globes announced on Thursday, March 13, that Glaser, 40, is officially returning to host the awards show after making her debut earlier this year.
“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. “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.”
Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne expressed her excitement for Glaser’s return in a statement of her own, noting, “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.”
What Did Critics Say About Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes Hosting Debut?
When awards season kicked off in January, Glaser became the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo — and her performance was met with widespread praise. Following the ceremony, Glaser revealed she was paid less than male counterparts who’ve hosted the show, but she was still pleased with the money she got.
“I got paid pretty — I’m good with that,” she said on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, hinting, “I’ll get more next year.”
Reports later surfaced that Glaser was offered a multi-year deal to host the Globes, which she addressed during an interview with Entertainment Tonight last month.
“I keep seeing headlines that [say], ‘She’s got a deal to do three more [Golden Globes ceremonies],’” she said while attending the 2025 Grammy Awards. “I haven’t heard about this [offer] yet.”

Glaser added at the time that she would be happy to make a comeback. “It was hard work, but it was the best job I’ve ever had,” she continued, revealing the “mission statement” she made before the ceremony. “I wanted to leave that awards show and have people [say], ‘I want her to host more things. That was comfortable to watch. I wasn’t nervous for her.’ And that’s what I came away with.”
According to Glaser, that goal was achieved. “I just wanted people to have a fun time and not feel like I was going after anyone … I worked hard to fulfill that tone and I feel like I succeeded,” she said.
The 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards will be held in January 2026.
