Nikki Glaser is poised to host the Golden Globe Awards for a second consecutive year in 2026, solidifying her position as a groundbreaking force in comedy. The declaration comes just months after her historic 2025 appearance, where she became the first solo woman to ever host the prestigious awards show.
“Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,” glaser stated following the 2025 ceremony. “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.”
Glaser’s rise to prominence has been marked by a fearless approach to comedy and a willingness to tackle taboo subjects. Her 2024 roast of tom brady served as a pivotal moment in her career.”The roast was such a big moment for me, and my life changed overnight in terms of recognizability and people knowing who I am,” Glaser shared with The Hollywood Reporter. This success translated directly to the Golden Globes stage in 2025, where she reportedly left the audience anticipating her every word.
“I think, when I first walked out (to do the opening monologue), I knew the energy was like, ‘We don’t know what she’s going to do. We’ve seen her do the Tom Brady roast, most recently,'” Glaser recounted during a conversation at the Time100 Summit on April 23.
Despite her reputation for delivering cutting jokes,Glaser admits a complicated relationship with the roast format. “Whenever I’ve done a Comedy Central Roast…I’ve done three of them and at the end of every single one I tell my friends to never let me do another one,” she told Interview magazine.”It ruins my life for the three weeks I have to get ready for them. Not only am I such a b—- during these stints because I have to change the way my mind works to think of such cruel jokes, but I also exhaust myself writing and performing.”
Beyond the Monologue: A Versatile Performer
Glaser’s talent extends beyond stand-up and roasts. She has showcased her acting abilities in films like “I Feel Pretty” and “Trainwreck,” and television shows including “Adam Ruins Everything” and “A.P. Bio.” She’s also proven adept at hosting,leading “Saturday Night Live” and the reality series “FBOY Island,” and even appearing on “Dancing with the Stars” Season 27.
A Moment of Connection with Taylor Swift
In 2020, Glaser publicly apologized to Taylor Swift for past comments regarding the singer’s physique. Having openly discussed her own struggles with anorexia and bulimia, Glaser expressed regret for the remarks, acknowledging the harm thay could cause. “I was probably ‘feeling fat’ that day and was jealous. Also, I’ve had people say the same s–t about me being too skinny before and know how terrible it feels to hear that when you’re struggling,” she shared on Instagram. Swift responded with gracious acceptance, writing, “Wow. I appreciate this so much.”
Finding Love with Chris Convy
Glaser is in a relationship with chris Convy, whom she affectionately called “the love of my life” during “The Roast of Tom Brady.” Convy is a seasoned producer with credits including 2019’s “The Little Mermaid Live” and 2022’s “Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration.” He has also served as an executive producer on several of Glaser’s comedy specials, most recently “nikki Glaser: someday You’ll Die.”
Nikki Glaser’s journey from college stand-up to Golden Globes host is a testament to her unwavering commitment to authentic comedy and her willingness to push boundaries.
