Who Is Hosting the 2025 Golden Globes?
Comedian Nikki Glaser will host the 2025 Golden Globes.
“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes,” Glaser said in the announcement in August. “It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front-row seat (actually, I think I have to host from the stage).”
“The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film but also for comedy,” she continued. “It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). (God I hope so). It’s an exciting, yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable, and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes).”
“This is truly a dream job,” she ended. “Plus, I no longer have to feel guilty for every TV show and movie I’ve binged over the past year. It was all worth it. (Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Season Four will be nominated, right?).”

The nominations for the awards will be announced on Dec. 9 by actors Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut. The main ten categories will be revealed on CBS Mornings at 8:30 a.m. ET/5:30 a.m. PT.
