This Cincinnati-born comedian is making history as the first woman ever to host the Golden Globes solo.

In 2025, Glaser is set to host the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, making her the first solo female host of the event.

Glaser rose to fame after appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “Last Comic Standing.” Her first stand-up comedy special “Perfect” aired on Comedy Central in 2016 and her second special, titled “Bangin’,” premiered on Netflix in 2019.
