Dick Clark Productions officially announced that Nikki Glaser will return to host the 83rd Golden Globe Awards in January 2025, following her widely praised debut this year. Glaser, who broke new ground as the first woman to host the show solo, brought a unique blend of bold humor and fearless charm to the ceremony. Reflecting on the experience, she expressed excitement about returning, calling it "the most fun I have ever had in my career." In true Glaser fashion, she added a tongue-in-cheek wish for The White Lotus creators to recognize her talent and cast her in Season Four as a "Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past."
This year’s Golden Globes saw The Brutalist and Emilia Perez take home top film honors, while Shōgun and Hacks dominated the television categories. The ceremony drew an audience of 9.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings — a slight 2% dip from the previous year, but still a strong showing given the evolving landscape of awards shows. Like this year’s broadcast, next year’s event will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+, ensuring viewers can tune in from anywhere.
Globes President Helen Hoehne praised Glaser’s performance, stating, "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." Hoehne emphasized how Glaser’s energy revitalized the event, helping it resonate with both the room full of A-list stars and the millions watching at home.
Glaser’s return signals a move toward modernizing the Globes, blending the irreverent, no-holds-barred comedy she’s known for with the glitz and glamor of one of Hollywood’s most iconic nights. With her quick wit and unapologetic style, fans can likely expect more hilarious roasts, clever jabs, and playful moments that push the boundaries — a style that seems to resonate with today’s audiences who appreciate a mix of humor and authenticity.
As the awards show continues to rebuild its reputation and embrace a more inclusive, entertaining tone, Glaser’s second round as host could further cement her as a go-to emcee for major Hollywood events. The 2025 Golden Globes are shaping up to be a can't-miss affair, with Glaser promising to bring even more laughs, surprises, and maybe — just maybe — that White Lotus cameo she’s angling for.
