Comedian Nikki Glaser, known for her nominations in the Emmys, Globes, and Grammys, turned heads as the host of the Golden Globes. Her performance was especially notable after last year's host, Jo Koy, faced criticism for a lackluster show. Glaser, fresh off her successful HBO stand-up special and praised role in Netflix's "The Roast of Tom Brady, " became the first woman to solo host the event. During her monologue, Glaser joked about being in a room full of producers with all her clothes on, a stark contrast to previous experiences. She roasted Timothée Chalamet for his role in "A Complete Unknown, " saying his singing was so bad that even Bob Dylan thought it was horrible. Glaser also shared some wise words for the nominees, reminding them that the point of art is to make a popular tequila brand and never work again. Throughout the night, Glaser changed into sequined outfits and even performed a parody song called "Pope-ular. " Her performance was well-received, with critics from The Hollywood Reporter and Time magazine praising her hosting skills. The Los Angeles Times noted her tight delivery and good jokes. Glaser's dedication was clear; she practiced her monologue 93 times before the telecast. Despite admitting that headlining was scary, Glaser embraced the challenge and made the Golden Globes a memorable night.
