The 2025 Golden Globes are happening this Sunday, and comedian Nikki Glaser is hard at work prepping to host the show for the first time. But she's a little concerned about getting it right, especially when it comes to her health.
“The worst thing that could happen is if I faint or have some kind of stroke,” she joked to The New York Times. “Those are my biggest worries, but the material is there... I just feel confident.”
She even used two writer’s rooms and did 91 test runs to get her monologue just right.
But Nikki recently revealed that she postponed surgery to make the Golden Globes hosting gig happen. So does Nikki Glaser have an injury and is she okay? Here’s what she’s shared about her health in the past.
She postponed plastic surgery to host the Golden Globes.
The 40-year-old isn’t injured—but she is putting off surgery to host the 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,” she said on CBS Sunday Morning.
But Nikki said she got a call from two of her agents, asking her to push back the procedure to later in the month so she could host the awards show. “They're like, 'So, this operation, is there any way you could push it 'til maybe the second week of January?'" she quipped.
She previously had surgery on her vocal cords.
But that won't be the first time Nikki has had surgery. Back in 2022, she postponed several tour dates to have a procedure on her vocal cords.
“Basically, my voice is fried and I’m having it repaired,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I’m so excited about this. It’s not going to be painful and it’s going to change my life. The only bummer is that recovery from this operation means I won’t be able to speak for 3-5 weeks. Not a word.”
Before her surgery, Nikki joked to Esquire that she “cannot wait to not talk. The world deserves a break from my voice, frankly.”
She’s overcome eating disorders in the past.
In 2022, Nikki wrote an emotional essay for The Cut, detailing her nearly two-decade battle with multiple eating disorders. Nikki developed anorexia as a senior in high school, she shared, and would go days without eating.
"They were, like, 'You look great. You look like you've lost weight.' It felt like getting an A on a test I didn't study for. It was the best feeling," she wrote. "I quickly became addicted to the results and positive feedback."
Nikki was ultimately hospitalized for her anorexia before going to college. But she later struggled with bingeing and bulimia in her 20s, sharing that she "would starve all day, wait to eat until nightfall and then eat all night long. I obsessed about calories and worked out incessantly."
That caused her to develop stress fractures and broken bones. “Then I wouldn't be able to work out, so I would go back to starving myself,” she wrote.
Nikki eventually joined a 12-step program and started eating three meals a day.
"I used to get really high off the feeling of hunger, and I do a lot of work to combat that now," she said. "There are days where I really struggle with gaining a couple pounds or my jeans fitting too tight. But I try to keep in mind the best thing I've learned: When you stop fighting it, when you stop trying to control it, your body will just be what it needs to be."
