Golden Globes Producers Want Nikki Glaser To Host Awards Ceremony ‘In the Long Term’

Producers of the Golden Globes are hoping that Nikki Glaser will return to host the annual awards show “in the long term.”

The 82nd Golden Globe Awards were held on January 5, 2025. Emilia Pérez won the Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy award, while The Brutalist took home Best Motion Picture — Drama.

The event was hosted by Nikki Glaser, with this being her first time doing so.

What did the Golden Globes producers say about Nikki Glaser continuing to host the show?

Speaking with Variety, Golden Globes executive producer Glenn Weiss said, “We absolutely had a great experience with her, and think that she would be great at this in the long term.”

Executive producer Ricky Kirshner also said, “Nikki, in my mind, home run. She really prepared. She did her homework. She’s been practicing material at a clubs, sometimes four or five shows a night for a couple of weeks straight, working on this pretty hard since November. And when you have a host that’s that prepared and that dedicated and also not tone deaf, listening to what’s going on in our business and even in the room on the fly, she’s really good at this. And she proved herself to be a really good host.

“Part of what the Globes are is it’s a party atmosphere. It’s not a traditional, stuffyish kind of environment. We do want to be loose, people in the audience do have access to alcohol, and it’s meant to be fun and a party. And Nikki, her whole tone and and her way of being is really in line with what this show is. And I think she really scored very well last night.”

Regarding whether or not Glaser had already been officially asked to host next year’s ceremony, Weiss said, “Perhaps! I can’t talk officially for anything. I will say, as someone who produces and directs award shows, she really found her niche here, and I think it really worked out beautifully on this show. And I would love to see it continue.”
