Wondering How Much Nikki Glaser Got Paid to Host the Golden Globes?

Today in things that have me side eyeing the Hollywood Foreign Press, Nikki Glaser revealed that she got paid less than at least one Golden Globes host who came before her.

Speaking to Howard Stern (via People), Nikki said she would have hosted the show "for free," and noted "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."

Per People, she was referring to Jerrod Carmichael, who hosted the Golden Globes in 2023 and let it slip that he got $500,000.

Sooooo, how does this compare to other awards shows? Honestly, the Golden Globes seem to pay a lot more than the going rate. So that's a plus! According to Forbes, Grammys hosts make about $20,000, Tony Awards hosts make even less at $2,700 per person (this is as of Page Six's reporting in 2016 so let's hope things have improved), and the Oscars fall somewhere in the middle. In 2013, The Hollywood Reporter claimed that the host budget was $15,000-$25,000, though Jimmy Kimmel revealed that he was paid $15,000. And he noted that "It sounds like a lot for one night but it's months of work leading up to it."

Welp. Either way Nikki killed it, so let's hope she hosts again next year—and gets a raise.
