Comedian Nikki Glaser hosted the Golden Globes this year, receiving rave reviews for her performance. According to Deadline, she was paid “a bit more than $400,000” for the gig.
Glaser, who signed a three-year deal with CBS last year, may return to host again in 2026, with her pay expected to rise significantly.
While she hasn’t confirmed her pay, Nikki mentioned on The Howard Stern Show that the job was a great platform, and she would have done it for free in her first year.
She also highlighted how difficult it is for the Golden Globes to find hosts, noting that many people turn down the offer due to the challenging nature of the role.
Nikki shared that she felt well-compensated for the work, especially considering the magnitude of the event.
She also revealed that she made less than previous host Jerrod Carmichael, who reportedly earned $500,000 for hosting the 2023 Golden Globes.
With her sharp wit and bold hosting style, Glaser has proven herself as a capable emcee for the prestigious event.
If she does return next year, it’s expected that her pay will reflect her growing popularity.
