Nikki Glaser is gonna be, gonna be golden for another year. The comedian has signed on to host the Golden Globes for a third time in 2027, having earned high marks for her previous two stints as the kudocast’s emcee.
As part of the Glaser news, CBS and Dick Clark Prods. confirmed that the 84th Annual Golden Globes will take place live on Sunday, Jan. 10, 2027. The awards show continues to air live on the Eye network and streams on Paramount+ in the U.S., either live or delayed to the next day (depending on subscription tier).
Quipped Glaser in a statement: “I’m thrilled to host the Golden Globes for a third time, not only because it’s the greatest gig I’ve ever had, but because my sister has three kids and now we will be equal in the eyes of my parents and the Lord.”
With Glaser at the helm, this year’s Globes attracted 9.17 million viewers in live+7 viewership, and added an additional 27.07 million viewers internationally. Glaser’s monologue attracted more than 14 million views on Golden Globes social media platforms within the first 36 hours of the telecast, the org said.
“We are thrilled to welcome Nikki back to the Golden Globes stage in 2027,” said Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne in a statement. “Her comedic precision, authenticity, and ability to command the room is unmatched, and we can’t wait to see what she has up her sleeve for next year’s show.”
The morning after this year’s telecast, executive producers Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss lauded Glaser for her performance — and immediately told Variety that they hoped she would make it a three-peat on stage next year.
“Nikki is such a great talent, and I think she really, truly found her place here,” Weiss told Variety on Monday morning, just hours after wrapping the live telecast. “I think she’s a perfect host for us. And I will say this, that she is one of the hardest working people I’ve met in this industry. She really cares about what she’s doing. She goes out, she practices sets, things changed right up till when we went on the air from our first rehearsal to the last. And I’ve got to give her major props for not just how funny she is, but how hard she works and what a great person she is for this role.”

In an interview with Variety before this year’s Globes, Glaser also expressed a desire to return for a third time: “The hosts that really made their mark on the show, like Ricky [Gervais] and Tina [Fey] and Amy [Poehler] did it three or four times each. I want to be in the conversation with them! You can do anything once, but doing it twice is a feat. I’ll probably want to do it a third time.”
Glaser will next be seen in the Hulu standup special “Good Girl,” which premieres April 24. Her previous special, HBO’s “Someday You’ll Die,” received Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations and a WGA win. The star recently made her hosting debut on “Saturday Night Live” and has upcoming projects including a role in Eva Longoria’s Netflix comedy “The Fifth Wheel.” She is also co-writing, producing and starring in a comedy film for Paramount Pictures inspired by the classic game MASH, and is working on a romantic comedy for Universal Pictures with Judd Apatow producing.
