Her selection marks a change in tone for the ceremony, opting for a direct humor that has already made headlines worldwide for her ability to point out the weaknesses of Hollywood's elite. Glaser's popularity on social media and her reputation as a relentless host are no coincidence.
The comedian is remembered for "joking about the age of Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriends," a comment that went viral by touching on one of the most discussed topics in popular culture with a mix of irony and bravery.
This irreverent style will presumably be the guiding thread of a gala that aims to regain its viewership levels through sharpness. Although for many, Nikki Glaser's name has gained strength recently, her career is the result of decades of work on the most demanding stages.
According to sources, her precocity was key to her success: "at 24, she got her big break by performing stand-up on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." This debut on one of the most iconic TV shows in America laid the foundation for her future professional path.
Subsequently, her presence on the small screen was constant and diversified: In 2013, she created and hosted Nikki & Sara Live, a project that allowed her to develop her own voice as a host. Her talent led her to be a recurring contributor on other renowned shows, where she "appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden."
Demonstrating her ability to connect with broader audiences, she "stepped out of her comfort zone and participated in Dancing with the Stars (2018)," giving her visibility beyond comedy clubs. Glaser's versatility, combining sharp monologue with ease in front of the camera on variety shows, positions her as a host capable of navigating between cinematic tribute and social critique.
Her career demonstrates that behind her seemingly simple humor, there is a television veteran who knows how to handle live broadcasting and the pressure of large audiences.
