CBS and the Golden Globes have announced that  Nikki Glaser will return as host of the 83rd annual Golden Globes, the first major award show of the season, to air January 2026 on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S.

“Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,” said Glaser 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 added, “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.”

On January 5, 2025, Glaser made showbiz history as the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo. She received unanimous praise from audiences worldwide and rave reviews from critics, with one hailing her performance as “victorious.”

Named Comedian of the Year by the New York Times and known for her razor-sharp wit and humor, Glaser’s shockingly honest, no-holds barred style has solidified her as one of the funniest voices in comedy today.  Previously, Glaser headlined her first HBO comedy special “Good Clean Filth” in 2022, and earned a Writers Guild Award as well as Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award nominations for “Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die,” which set the record for both the best premiere night for an HBO comedy special in more than two years and for the #1 largest streaming audience for a Comedy Special in HBO Max/Max history.

In 2021, Glaser launched “The Nikki Glaser Podcast” for iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Podcast Network (BMP). She currently hosts and executive produces “Lovers and Liars,” the spinoff of the hit HBO Max and CW reality dating series “FBoy Island,” which Glaser hosted and executive produced for three seasons.

Glaser recently wrapped her global “The Good Girl” stand-up tour and is currently on her “Alive and Unwell” tour across the U.S., Canada, and Australia through October 2025.
