Hosting a Hollywood award show is no easy feat, often described as a delicate balance between engaging the live audience and entertaining viewers at home. Comedian Nikki Glaser, who is gearing up to host the upcoming Golden Globe Awards, is no stranger to the spotlight.
Glaser's standout performance at the Netflix Tom Brady roast last spring caught the attention of the Golden Globes producers. Reflecting on that moment, Glaser expressed how it significantly boosted her recognition in the industry, likening it to a flawless gymnastics routine on the balance beam.
As she prepares to take the stage at the Golden Globes, Glaser is determined to recreate that success. While she acknowledges that the nominees are not there to be roasted, she plans to infuse her trademark humor into the event, aiming to bring laughter to both the live audience at the Beverly Hilton and the viewers at home.
Glaser assured that her jokes will be in the spirit of celebration, striking a balance between humor and respect for the stars in attendance. She humorously noted that she understands the unique task at hand, emphasizing her commitment to delivering an entertaining and memorable show.
Having received advice from past Golden Globes hosts like Ricky Gervais, Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey, Glaser hinted at the possibility of a few bleeped moments in her opening monologue, adding an element of unpredictability to the evening.
Furthermore, Glaser mentioned her practice of social media 'sobriety,' indicating a conscious effort to maintain a healthy relationship with online platforms.
With her blend of wit and charm, Glaser is poised to bring a fresh and engaging energy to the Golden Globe Awards, promising an evening filled with laughter and entertainment for all.
