The Host: Nikki Glaser’s Second Act
Comedian Nikki Glaser returns to the podium for the second consecutive year. Known for her “bold yet playful” 2025 debut, where she famously dubbed the Globes “Ozempic’s biggest night,” Glaser has hinted at a more strategic monologue this year.
In recent interviews, she admitted to being nervous about roasting “America’s Sweetheart” Julia Roberts, though she teased that Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet remain fair game.
“Leo? Leo, yeah, Leo. We’re going to hit Leo,” Glaser joked. “The icebergs are coming. Watch out.”
