LOS ANGELES, March 13 (Reuters) - Comedian and actress

Nikki Glaser will return to host the annual Golden Globes

ceremony for a second time in January 2026, broadcaster CBS

and the Golden Globes announced on Thursday.

The Golden Globes are the first of Hollywood's major awards

shows each year and will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+ in

the U.S.

"Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the

most fun I have ever had in my career," Glaser said in a press

release.

"I can't wait to do it again, and this time in front of the

team from 'The White Lotus' who will finally recognize my talent

and cast me in season four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor

with a shadowy past," she added.

Glaser made history as the first woman to host the Golden

Globes solo in 2025. The Golden Globe, Grammy and Emmy-nominated

comedian received positive reviews from critics for the

ceremony.

The audience for the telecast declined by 2% from the

previous year to an average of 9.3 million viewers, according to

Nielsen data.

The "Trainwreck" actor is known for hosting the television

series "Not Safe with Nikki Glaser" and the reality TV shows

"Blind Date" and "FBoy Island."

She also starred in her own reality show, "Welcome Home

Nikki Glaser?"
