This Sunday, the 2025 Golden Globes will take place. Comedian Nikki Glaser is busy preparing to host the show for the first time. However, she has some concerns about everything going smoothly, particularly regarding her health.
She joked to The New York Times, “The worst – case scenario would be if I faint or have some sort of stroke. Those are my biggest fears, but the material is ready… I feel confident.”
She even utilized two writer’s rooms and did 91 trial runs to perfect her monologue.
Recently, Nikki revealed that she postponed surgery to take on the Golden Globes hosting job. So, does Nikki Glaser have an injury? And is she okay? Here’s what she has said about her health in the past.
She Put Off Plastic Surgery to Host the Golden Globes.
The 40 – year – old isn’t injured, but she is delaying surgery to host the Golden Globes. She said on CBS Sunday Morning, “So, in January 2025, I was considering having, like, a brow lift or some really invasive surgery that I had been looking into getting.”
But Nikki said she received a call from two of her agents. They asked her to reschedule the procedure to later in the month so she could host the awards show. She quipped, “They were like, ‘So, about this operation, is there any way you could push it until maybe the second week of January? ‘”
However, this won’t be the first time Nikki has had surgery. In 2022, she postponed several tour dates to have a procedure on her vocal cords.
At that time, she wrote on Instagram, “Basically, my voice is worn out and I’m getting it fixed. I’m really excited about this. It won’t be painful and it’s going to change my life. The only downside is that after this operation, I won’t be able to speak for 3 – 5 weeks. Not a single word.”
Before her surgery, Nikki joked to Esquire, “I can’t wait to stop talking. Honestly, the world deserves a break from my voice.”
In 2025, Nikki wrote an emotional essay for The Cut. She detailed her almost two – decade – long battle with multiple eating disorders. Nikki shared that she developed anorexia as a high – school senior and would go days without eating.
She wrote, “People would say, ‘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. I quickly became addicted to the results and positive feedback.”
Ultimately, Nikki was hospitalized for anorexia before going to college. But in her 20s, she struggled with bingeing and bulimia. She shared, “I would starve all day, wait to eat until night, and then eat all night long. I was obsessed with calories and worked out constantly.”
This led to her developing stress fractures and broken bones. She wrote, “Then I couldn’t work out, so I would go back to starving myself.”
Nikki eventually joined a 12 – step program and started having three meals a day.
She said, “I used to get a real high from the feeling of hunger, and I work hard to fight that now. There are days when I really struggle with gaining a few pounds or my jeans being too tight. But I try to remember the most important 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.”
