Nikki Glaser is ready to bring her unique brand of humor to the prestigious Golden Globes stage!

At just 40 years old, the talented comedian has established herself as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. Known for her engaging performances, Glaser's recent gigs include hosting HBO Max’s “FBoy Island” as well as delivering a controversial set during Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady.” Her Emmy-nominated stand-up special, “Someday You’ll Die,” showcased her sharp wit and deep insights into life and relationships, further solidifying her status among fans and critics alike.

Scheduled to host the 82nd Annual Golden Globes on January 5 at the iconic Beverly Hilton Hotel, Glaser will take the reins from Jo Koy, who faced a mix of reactions during last year's event. Koy, who humorously poked fun at Robert De Niro's personal life and took jabs at pop culture, spoke candidly about the pressures of the role and how challenging it was.

As Glaser prepares for her hosting duties, she admits to feeling the pre-show jitters. In her candid conversation with Cara Delevingne for Interview Magazine, she expressed her nervousness about performing in front of Hollywood's elite, to which Delevingne comically advised her to not mess it up. Glaser, never one to hold back, gave her a cheeky retort that reflects her fearless approach to comedy.

“This year’s Globes is anticipated to be memorable, with Glaser promising to give it her all,” she told CBS Mornings. “I’m gonna nail it! Even if some disagree, I have worked tirelessly to prepare for this moment.” This exuberance comes from her grounded beginnings; she performed stand-up at the age of 18, touring extensively over the last 15 years and cultivating a loyal fanbase.

In addition to her live performances, Glaser also made waves with her reality TV show “Welcome Home Nikki Glaser?” on E!, where her relatable journey in comedy and life was highlighted. Her ability to poke fun at herself and the absurdities of celebrity culture culminated in her viral performance during Tom Brady's roast, emphasizing her knack for comedy that resonates with audiences.

Glaser, originally from St. Louis, Missouri, often reflects on her upbringing and how it shaped her comedic style. Discussing her Midwestern roots, she jokingly conveyed the challenges of outdoor family excursions during her childhood, a theme that often resurfaces in her humor as she embraces her life as a California entertainer.

When it comes to her personal life, Glaser has been candid about her journey towards sobriety and her dating life with Chris Convy, whom she met on the MTV show “Nikki & Sara Live” in 2013. Their relationship has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but Glaser continues to navigate love and companionship with transparency, sharing her thoughts on the complexities of relationships during her podcast discussions.

As she turns 40, Glaser is also open about the realities of aging, expertly blending humor with earnestness as she tackles the changes in her life. Recently, she revealed that she postponed a significant plastic surgery to ensure she could focus entirely on hosting the Globes, showing just how dedicated she is to her craft.

With her keen observational humor and a refreshing take on both personal and public subjects, Nikki Glaser is sure to make the Golden Globes a night to remember. Mark your calendars for January 5 – you won’t want to miss it!
