She’s (going to be) ba-ack! Nikki Glaser is returning as host of the Golden Globes in 2026. Glaser hosted the 2025 ceremony, and killed with both her monologue and her “Pope-ular” bit. “Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,” Glaser said. “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.” Glaser pulling double duty is a rare moment of consistency for the troubled awards show. Since the Globes’ brief expulsion from prime time, the show was purchased by Dick Clark Productions and is now for-profit. Since then, hosts have included Jo Koy, who bombed, and Jerrod Carmichael, who gave an esoteric monologue pondering the value of his presence there. Glaser, meanwhile, came to kill. The inimitable preparer has a whole year to get ready.
