Nikki Glaser’s Hosting Debut at the Golden Globes

As the highly anticipated Golden Globes approach, host Nikki Glaser has a single piece of advice for the glamorous attendees: lighten up and enjoy the show! Set to make history as the first solo female host of the awards on January 5, Glaser promises an entertaining night filled with laughter, channeling the same energy that made her Tom Brady roast unforgettable.

Keeping the Mood Festive

In a recent chat at the Golden Globes red carpet, Glaser acknowledged that her hosting gig is a huge responsibility, but she intends to keep the mood festive and fun. “I’m bringing the vibe from the Tom Brady roast, but this is a different occasion,” she declared. While she recognizes the tradition of celebrity roasting at the Globes, she reassures A-listers that they shouldn’t fear her comedic jabs. “I’m not here to offend anyone,” she assured fans. “This is my first Golden Globes, so I’m not looking to burn any bridges—those come later!”

Creating a Connection

What sets Glaser apart from previous hosts like Ricky Gervais is her mission to create a connection between stars and the audience. “Celebrities shouldn’t cringe at being poked fun at; it’s an opportunity to show their human side,” she explained. She encourages the stars to embrace the humor, joking that laughing at a quip about a past flop is a surefire way to score some likability points at home. “Trust me, I’ve been on both sides of the roast, and it’s better to just laugh it off,” she said.

Topics Off-Limits

However, Glaser has declared certain topics off-limits, particularly the popular “It Ends With Us” drama involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. “It’s such a sensitive issue right now; I’d rather skip it altogether,” she emphasized. The comedian also hinted at the possibility of touching on political themes, though she intends to keep things light: 'People are exhausted from heavy topics. We'll acknowledge what's happening, but not beat everyone over the head with it.'

A Carefree and Celebratory Tone

Overall, Glaser’s primary goal is to set a carefree and celebratory tone for an evening that often feels over-the-top in its glamour. She stated, 'Let’s have fun with the ridiculousness of it all—dressing up and giving awards for pretending. It’s silly, but it’s wonderful!'

Creative Control

In a surprising twist, Glaser has been granted full creative control over her material by the Golden Globes' president, Helen Hoehne. “We trust her completely; she's free to say what she wants,” Hoehne revealed, indicating that viewers can anticipate some truly unpredictable moments from Glaser’s monologue.

A Memorable Night Ahead

With the date fast approaching, everyone is eager to see how Glaser will blend humor and grace in what promises to be a memorable night at the Golden Globes! So mark your calendars and prepare for an evening of fun—just remember, no dramatic faces, only laughter!
