Nikki Glaser expects to return to host the 2026 Golden Globe Awards

Nikki Glaser expects to return to host the 2026 Golden Globe Awards.

The 40-year-old comic was praised for her work presenting Sunday's (05.01.25) ceremony and she "can't imagine" not being asked to do the job again next year, but while she'd have done the gig for free, she thinks she deserves to be paid more.

Referring to Jerrod Carmichael's admission he received $500,000 for hosting in 2023, Nikki said when asked by SiriusXM DJ Howard Stern how much she was paid: "There was a past host who said how much he got paid in his monologue. I got less than that.

"It’s OK. I’ll get more next year. I honestly would have done it for free, it’s such an insane platform. … [But] next time I’ll ask for more money.”

And asked if she thinks she'll be back, she said: “I can’t imagine they wouldn’t [ask me]. … It’s hard to find people to do these shows. … [But] I would never be able to live with myself if I turned it down because I’m scared of bombing.”

One fan of Nikki's hosting was Harrison Ford.

She said he told her backstage at the Beverly Hilton Hotel: “This is such a tough gig, and you’re doing such a good job.”
