Nikki Glaser Says She Postponed 'A Brow Lift' to Host 2025 Golden Globes

Comedian Nikki Glaser pushed back her plastic surgery plans to host the annual Golden Globes.

“So, for January 2025, I was going to possibly have, like, a brow lift or some kind of really invasive surgery that I’ve been, you know, looking into getting,” Glaser, 40, said during the Sunday, December 29, broadcast of CBS Mornings.

Before the Golden Globes are held during the first weekend in January, Glaser was contacted about emceeing the ceremony.

She recalled, “[Members of my team were] like, ‘So, this operation, is there any way you could push it ’til maybe the second week of January?’”

Glaser, a stand-up comic and TV host, said yes to the offer and put her surgery dreams on the back burner.

“I’m gonna nail it,” Glaser said on Sunday about tackling hosting duties for the Globes. “Maybe I won’t nail it in some people’s eyes, but I will have nailed it in my eyes because I have set up a system leading up to it that I couldn’t possibly work harder on it.”

There will be a lot of eyes on Glaser running the show, which she hopes gets in her head.

“I thrive on anxiety,” she stressed. “I like feeling like, ‘Oh, what’s gonna happen?’ I like that feeling. I kill it when I’m anxious.”

While Glaser is known for her appearances at roasts — she recently participated in Tom Brady’s eponymous version for Netflix — she doesn’t want to be mean at the awards show.

“I think my new challenge is, I wanna be known for being a nice celebrity,” Glaser explained. “I just wanna be someone that people go, ‘Oh, she’s really great to work with. She was really nice to us,’ and not in an inauthentic way. … I wanna spread honesty.”

News broke in August that Glaser would host the annual Golden Globes.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes. It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front-row seat (actually, I think I have to host from the stage),” Glaser said in a statement at the time. “The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film but also for comedy. It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so).”

She added at the time, “It’s an exciting, yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars, who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes.”

The 82nd annual Golden Globes airs live Sunday, January 5, 2025, on CBS at 8 p.m. ET. The ceremony will also be streamed live on Paramount+.
