Who is hosting?

Nikki Glaser is once again hosting the 2026 Golden Globes after becoming the first woman to helm the award show on her own last year.

Glaser, 41, crushed her emcee debut and poked fun at some of the most famous people in the room, including Ariana Grande, Zendaya, Ford and Glen Powell during her opening monologue.

“Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,” she said in a statement after it was confirmed she’d be returning.

“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 4 as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past,” Glaser added.

The comedian, however, explained that she’s going to be more “delicate” with her jokes this time around during a chat with “CBS Mornings” ahead of the big night.

“But you also want to give the people at home something to laugh at, and you want to poke fun at the people they’re dying for you to make fun of,” she explained. “Like people at home want you to make fun of the A-listers. They want you to make them feel a little bit uncomfortable.”

“It’s covert in the sense that I want to get away with those jokes without ruining the vibe in the room,” Glaser added. “It’s really strategic and one of the most difficult jobs I’ve had.”
