Has theGolden Globesfound its happily ever after withNikki Glaser?

The 40-year-old comedianhosted the awards showfor the first time on Jan. 5 and received rave reviews forher raunchy and hilarious opening monologue, which then sparked speculation that she would be asked back to host in future years.

Glaser herself has seen the speculation, which she shared while attending the2025 Grammy Awards. But, she also confirmed there’s nothing set in stone yet.

“I keep seeing headlines that are like, ‘She’s got a deal to do 3 more.’ I haven’t heard about this yet, but I think it would be… I think I like them as much as they like me,” she toldEntertainment Tonight

“And I would like to keep this relationship going ‘cause I had a blast doing it,” she said. “It was hard work but it was the best job I’ve ever had.”

TheF Boy Islandhost also confirmed she’s “ready to come back and host” again — if they’ll have her. “It was truly the most fun night I’ve had in so long,” she said.

Ahead of the awards show, Glaser told PEOPLE she knew she’d be “walking a line” with her jokes but overall, “I’m not out for blood.”

“I want everyone to have a good night," she said. “I wantCynthia ErivoorAriana GrandeorNicole Kidmanto feel safe in my hands.”

Even before the show, though, she was curious about the possibility of returning.

Comparing her set toRicky Gervais’final hosting gig in 2020she said, “Ricky Gervais earned the ability to get up there and say, ‘I don’t care. I’m going to tell you how I feel,’ because that was his last time hosting [in 2020]."

The difference between that and her strategy, though, was that Gervais, 63, “didn’t want the gig again. He was down to burn bridges.”

“I would like this gig again. So I look forward to really taking off the gloves when I’m ready to go, but right now I have to kind of earn this job.”

She also revealed the paycheck she’d received for the gig during the interview. “I got paid pretty [well].There was a past host who said how much money he got paid in his monologue, and I got less than that, but that’s okay. I’ll get more next year.”

Though she didn’t name names, fans presumed that Glaser was referring toJerrod Carmichael, who said during his opening monologue for the show in 2023 thathe was paid $500,000 for the job.

“I feel well paid for what I do — I’m all right,” Glaser toldHoward Stern. “And this first year, when you’re just trying to prove yourself, I honestly would’ve done it for free. It’s an insane platform to be on. It’s not about the money for me.”
