Golden Globes 2025: Nikki Glaser’s OMG Hosting Moments We’re Still Talking About

While many would be nervous to host an award show in front of millions of people (you know, casual), Nikki Glaser was ready to go for the gold.

“I am so good. I am feeling so ready. I can’t wait to perform,” the comedian exclusively told Zuri Hall on Live From E!: Golden Globes just before the ceremony on Jan. 5. “The nerves aren’t there yet. I just got done with rehearsal, feel so comfortable with it. I just am like, ‘God, I can’t wait to tell this to a room full of people.’ It’s going to be so much fun.”

After all, she practiced a lot.

“This will be my 94th time telling some version of this,” continued Nikki, who was also nominated in the Best Stand-Up Comedy Performance for Television category. “It’s still changed even from the last time I told it to now. So, we’re constantly making edits, trying to top jokes, trying to strike the right note and tone for the evening. A lot of work has gone into it.”
