Comedian Nikki Glaser to Host the 82nd Annual Golden Globes Awards

CBS Entertainment has announced that comedian superstar Nikki Glaser will host the 82nd Annual Golden Globes Awards.

The ceremony will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, January 5, beginning at 8 ET and 5 PT. Glaser will be hosting the Globes for the first time.

Paramount Global and the other parent companies want this to be the first of more collaborations with the comedian. Glaser and others have released statements describing what they want to accomplish with the upcoming Globes ceremony.

“Nikki Glaser brings a fresh and unmatched candor to her comedy and to the Golden Globes. Her unapologetic style made her an obvious and compelling choice as host for this year’s event,” Jay Penske, chairman and CEO of Dick Clark Productions and Penske Media Corporation, said. 

“We’re hopeful this could be the first of many Golden Globes where Nikki will surprise and delight our CBS audience, as well as our audiences around the globe,” Penske added.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes. It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front-row seat (actually, I think I have to host from the stage),” Nikki Glaser said in a statement.

“The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film, but also for comedy. It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows, but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). (God, I hope so),” Glaser added.

“It’s an exciting, yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes),” Glaser continued.

Nikki Glaser is an American stand-up comedian, host, and actress. She’s well-known for her various comedy specials and participation in Comedy Central’s Roasts. She hosted several shows, like Blind Date, and was part of the documentary HYSTERICAL.

Award-winning producing duo Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment (WCE) will return as executive-producing showrunners for the 82nd Annual Golden Globes Awards.

Dick Clark Productions will plan, host and produce the annual awards ceremony.
