While the most important aspect of the ceremony is, of course, which film and TV projects will take home the most awards, another very important part of the ceremony is the host, and how they will shape how the show goes throughout the night.

The question of the continued importance of the Golden Globes when the Oscars are so dominant in the awards season remains, but they are still leading the charge as the first event that defines how the next few months of ceremonies may go. With the 2025 Oscar nominees not even announced yet, everyone is looking to this event to see how the films of the year are generally perceived by voters,...

Nikki Glaser stopped drinking four years ago, which she says made sex almost “impossible” for her. The host of Comedy Central’s new show about sex, “Not Safe With Nikki Glaser,” used to need to drink to overcome the awkwardness of sleeping with someone.

Students are asking questions about consent means, and when someone is too drunk to truly give it. “I think both people need to be audibly consenting,” Glaser told TheWrap last week.

Glaser takes a no holds barred approach to the topic, which makes for funny, honest, awkward and sometimes embarrassing moments rarely seen on TV.
