Comedian Nikki Glaser will host the 82nd Golden Globes, avoiding politics and Hollywood drama during her live ceremony on Sunday. Glaser, whose special “Someday You’ll Die” is nominated for Best Stand-Up Comedy Performance, plans to focus on lighthearted topics.
“I’ve made a point not to go so hard that anyone’s gonna be offended,” Glaser said in an interview. She aims to avoid controversy by steering clear of the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni sexual harassment lawsuit and the recent presidential election.
Glaser also wants to distinguish herself from Ricky Gervais, known for his biting humor during past Golden Globes hosting gigs. “This isn’t my last Golden Globes, this is my first one,” she said. Instead, Glaser will opt for a more family-friendly approach, sticking to her traditional comedy style.
Her decision reflects the desire to avoid potential backlash and focus on entertaining the audience. With her breakout performance on Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady” earning her recognition, Glaser is well-equipped to tackle the hosting duties without controversy.
