For nearly two decades of sold-out tours, and as the host of three hit podcasts, Emmy®, Grammy® and Golden Globe®-nominated Nikki Glaser has honed her shockingly honest, no-holds barred style, solidifying herself as one of the funniest voices in comedy today. On January 5, 2025, Glaser made history as the first woman to host the Golden Globe® Awards solo. She received unanimous praise from audiences worldwide and rave reviews from critics hailing her memorable performance as “victorious.” She is set to return as host of the 83rd Golden Globe® Awards on January 11, 2026. This October, in front of a sold-out crowd at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, Nikki taped her newest hour-long comedy special for Hulu, set to premiere in 2026. A few weeks later on November 8 she made her SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE hosting debut with musical guest Sombr. 2024 was a career redefining year for Glaser, culminating with being named “Comedian of the Year” by The New York Times and one of the TIME100: The Most Influential People of 2025. In film, Nikki has a slate of highly anticipated projects on the horizon. Next, she will star, alongside Kim Kardashian, in Eva Longoria’s Netflix comedy THE FIFTH WHEEL written by Paula Pell and Janine Brito. She will also co-write, produce and star in an original comedy inspired by the classic game MASH for Paramount Pictures. This SLIDING DOORS-style comedy follows a woman whose childhood MASH game magically becomes reality, and she discovers that the perfect life isn’t the one she imagined. Additionally, she will star in, co-write and produce a new romantic comedy for Universal Pictures with Judd Apatow producing. Following the success of her Critics Choice Award-nominated HBO standup special, GOOD CLEAN FILTH in 2022, Glaser’s highly anticipated second HBO comedy special, SOMEDAY YOU’LL DIE premiered in May 2024 to a record-breaking audience. It set the record for both the best premiere night for an HBO comedy special in more than two years and for the #1 largest streaming audience for a Comedy Special in HBO Max/Max history. Glaser was nominated for an Emmy® Award for “Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded),” a Grammy® Award for “Best Comedy Album,” a Golden Globe® Award for "Best Performance in a Stand-Up Comedy on Television," a Critics Choice Award for “Best Comedy Special” and a WGA Award for “Comedy/Variety Special,” which she won. Glaser also wrote and performed “Someday You’ll Die” the special’s theme song that is available on all streaming platforms. The single was recorded in Glaser’s hometown of St. Louis with producers Dan Monahan and Tim Convy. Released by Bailey Blues in partnership with Redbird Records, the track shows a different side of Glaser, but fans of her comedy will recognize her trademark wit and authenticity throughout the lyrics. Glaser was also the undeniable standout on Netflix’s Emmy®-nominated THE GREATEST ROAST OF ALL TIME: TOM BRADY which earned her viral attention and reinstated her title as “the best roaster on the planet” according to Indiewire. The roast aired live and unedited on Netflix from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on May 5, 2024.
