Golden Globes - Nikki Glaser

CBS and the Golden Globes(R) announced that acclaimed Emmy(R)-nominated comedian and actress Nikki Glaser is set to host the 82nd Annual Golden Globes(R), the first major awards show of the season, airing Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025 (8:00-11:00 PM, live ET/5:00-8:00 PM, live PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S. (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the special airs).

Nikki Glaser has established herself as one of the funniest voices in comedy today. In August of this year, the Los Angeles Times boldly described the knock-out comic, "Nikki Glaser is suddenly the hottest name in comedy." Previously, Glaser headlined her first critically acclaimed HBO comedy special Good Clean Filth in 2022 and earned an Emmy nomination for this year's 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 country through May 2025.
