  • Nikki Glaser doesn't plan to blow her golden opportunity. On Sunday, Glaser will host the 82nd Golden Globes. She plans for the gig to be more like her breakout Tom Brady roast performance and less like Jo Koy's 2024 turn as Golden Globes host.

The article from IndieWire discusses Nikki Glaser's reaction to Jo Koy's hosting stint at the Golden Globes. Glaser, a fellow comedian, expressed on her podcast "The Nikki Glaser Podcast" that she believed she could have done a better job hosting the event. She critiqued Koy's performance, particularly his opening monologue which was met with mixed reactions. Glaser suggested that Koy's material, which included jabs at the audience and the industry, might have been better received if delivered by someone with a more established reputation for edgy humor. She also mentioned that Koy's attempt to explain his material when it didn't land well was a misstep, as it highlighted the failure of the jokes rather than moving on. Glaser's comments reflect a broader discussion on the challenges of hosting major awards shows and the expectations placed on comedians in such high-pressure environments.
