Nikki Glaser is heading back to the Golden Globes!

CBS and the Golden Globes announced on Thursday, March 13 that Glaser, 40, will host the awards show in 2026 — her second consecutive hosting stint after debuting in the role on Jan. 5. 

“Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,” Glaser said in a statement. “I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from The White Lotus who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in Season Four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.”

Glaser’s first hosting stint at the Globes in January made her the first woman to host the event solo; the comedian previously suggested to PEOPLE she wanted to earn the job for a second time when she opened up about her preparations for the Globes in December 2024.

“[Past Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais] didn’t want the gig again. He was down to burn bridges,” she said at that time, referring to Gervais’ final hosting stint in 2020. “I would like this gig again. So I look forward to really taking off the gloves when I’m ready to go, but right now I have to kind of earn this job.”

Glaser entertained Globes attendees and viewers at home when she took the stage on Jan. 5 to tease stars like Glen Powell and Harrison Ford and joked that the titles of nominated movies sounded like “words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms.”

“Nikki Glaser brought a refreshing spark and fearless wit to the Golden Globes stage this year,” Helen Hoehne, the president of the Golden Globes, said in a statement. “Her sharp humor, and bold presence set the tone for an unforgettable night, making the ceremony feel vibrant and most of all fun.”

Glaser spoke up about rumors regarding any potential future for her to host the Globes again as recently as February, when she denied the notion that she had already signed a contract to host several more times but repeated that she would like to take the hosting gig again.

“I keep seeing headlines that are like, ‘She’s got a deal to do three more.’ I haven’t heard about this yet, but I think it would be… I think I like them as much as they like me,” she told Entertainment Tonight at that time. “And I would like to keep this relationship going ’cause I had a blast doing it. It was hard work but it was the best job I’ve ever had.”

The 2026 Golden Globes will air in January on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
