Nikki Glaser Makes a Bold Claim About Her Golden Globes Hosting Paycheck

Nikki Glaser is being fully transparent about her pay for hosting the Golden Globes.

The stand-up comedian, who knocked it out of the park while hosting the 82nd Annual Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 5, recently made a bold claim about her paycheck in comparison to a past male host, whom she says earned more than she did.

While making an appearance on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show one day after the award show gig, Glaser, 40, revealed, "I got paid pretty—I'm good with that. There was a past host who said how much he got paid in his monologue and I got less than that, but that’s OK," Glaser said.

She didn't reveal any names, but she seemed to be referring to 2023 host Jerrod Carmichael, who said in his opening monologue that he was paid $500,000 to do the job.

The Someday You'll Die comic didn't seem too worried about the pay discrepancy, though, as she also insisted, "I’ll get more next year. I feel well paid for what I do; I’m alright."

According to Deadline, a source said Glaser earned a little over $400,000 to host the Globes on Sunday, but that fee is expected to rise "significantly" should she return as next year's host.

The outlet reports that Glaser signed a three-year deal last year to host the Golden Globes, so fans can likely expect to see her roasting the A-listers who attend the 83rd annual Golden Globes in 2026.
