Nikki Glaser is just days away from hosting the 2025 Golden Globes, but the high-profile gig didn’t come without a few changes to her plans.
On Sunday, the 40-year-old comedienne revealed to CBS that she had to reschedule a brow lift she originally planned for the same week before signing on to the highly anticipated awards show on January 5.
‘For January 2025, I was going to possibly have, like, a brow lift or some kind of, like, really invasive surgery that I’ve been, you know, looking into getting,’ she told the outlet.
But when two of her agents called about the opportunity, Glaser had to rethink her priorities.
Recalling the tense moment, she said: ‘When it’s two, you know it’s good news, because when it’s bad news, they just make one person do it, cause no one wants to do that!’
‘And they’re like, “So, this operation, is there any way you could push it ’til maybe the second week of January.”‘

Glaser jumped at the opportunity to host the Golden Globes and add her own twist to the show via her role. In fact, the star is confident that she will ‘nail it’ as a host.
She said, ‘I’m gonna nail it. 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.’
