Comedian Nikki Glaser has been selected to host the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, scheduled for January 5, 2025, airing live on CBS. Known for her edgy humor and recent performances, including a roast of Tom Brady, Glaser brings a mix of excitement and challenge to the role, as the event is live and filled with Hollywood's elite. The Golden Globe Authority, represented by Helen Hoehne, praised Glaser as a 'comedy force' whose frank style fits the event's legacy of humor. Glaser expressed her hopes to continue the tradition of past hosts like Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler, while acknowledging the pressure of entertaining a star-studded audience. The decision to choose another comedian follows a controversial hosting by Jo Koy in the previous year, signaling a return to bold humor. Glaser is enthusiastic about the opportunity, calling it a 'dream job' and emphasizing the importance of comedy at the Globes.
