Following her well-received Golden Globes gig last Sunday night, there are already questions on whether Nikki Glaser will be returning to host the ceremony next year.
The stand-up comedian's opening monologue and hosting were praised by the viewers due to her hilarious jokes and comedic timing. It led to the immediate clamor for her to return as host again.
Is Nikki Glaser Returning to Host the Golden Globes in 2026?
In a post-ceremony interview, the Golden Globes ceremony producer Glenn Weiss was asked whether Glaser will be invited to return as host again next year.
While he didn't officially confirm the comedian's comeback in next year's ceremony, he shared that he is open to seeing her return as they have a great experience working with her.
"We absolutely had a great experience with her, and think that she would be great at this in the long term," he said.
"I can’t talk officially for anything. I will say, as someone who produces and directs award shows, she really found her niche here, and I think it really worked out beautifully on this show. And I would love to see it continue."
Reports have also claimed that Glaser's contract with CBS and Dick Clark Productions stated that there is an option for her to return if things went well. Fortunately, it did so there is a huge possibility that we will see her again next year.
Does Nikki Glaser Want to Return as Host of Golden Globes Next Year?
Glaser addressed the possibility of her return as host in next year's Golden Globes ceremony while talking recently on The Howard Stern Show.
Fortunately, she also expressed her interest in returning as host although she will be negotiating for a higher fee.
"There was a past host who said how much he got paid in his monologue. I got less than that. It’s okay. 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," 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."
For now, fans should wait for the next several months to find out whether Glaser will officially return as the emcee.
