The Golden Globes® announced that acclaimed Golden Globe®, Grammy®, and Emmy®-nominated comedian, writer, and actress Nikki Glaser will return to host the 84th Annual Golden Globes, the first major award show of the season, airing live on Sunday, January 10, 2027 on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S.*
Following her widely-praised turn as host in 2025 and 2026, Glaser, who made history as the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo, is set to bring her sharp wit, fearless humor, and unmistakable voice back to entertainment’s most celebrated night for a third year. Known for her bold comedic style, quick improvisation, and signature roasts, Glaser has consistently captivated audiences with her daring opening monologues. Her most recent monologue garnered nearly 14M+ views in the first 36 hours across Golden Globes social media platforms alone, setting the tone for an unforgettable and celebratory evening honoring the best in film, television, and podcasts.
“We are thrilled to welcome Nikki back to the Golden Globes stage in 2027,” said Helen Hoehne, President, Golden Globes. “Her comedic precision, authenticity, and ability to command the room is unmatched, and we can’t wait to see what she has up her sleeve for next year's show.”
Glaser added, “I’m thrilled to host the Golden Globes for a third time, not only because it’s the greatest gig I’ve ever had, but because my sister has three kids and now we will be equal in the eyes of my parents and the Lord.”
Glaser has become one of the most prominent voices in comedy. Following a career-defining 2024 when she was named “Comedian of the Year” by The New York Times, Glaser was included on the TIME100: The Most Influential People of 2025 list and continued her momentum with the record-breaking HBO special “Someday You’ll Die,” which earned Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations and a WGA win. She recently made her hosting debut on “Saturday Night Live” and continues to tour internationally. With a slate of highly-anticipated projects on the horizon, Glaser will star alongside Kim Kardashian in Eva Longoria’s Netflix comedy The Fifth Wheel and will co-write, produce and star in an original comedy inspired by the classic game MASH for Paramount Pictures. Additionally, she will star in, co-write and produce a new romantic comedy for Universal Pictures with Judd Apatow producing. Glaser will next premiere her new Hulu stand-up special “Good Girl” on April 24, 2026.

ABOUT RILEY GREEN
ACM and CMA Award winner, Riley Green has been compelling Country music fans to raise a drink, shed a tear, and, above all, celebrate where they are from, since first releasing his self-titled EP in 2018. His songs like the No. 1 2X-PLATINUM hit “There Was This Girl,” the 3X-PLATINUM-certified heart-tugger “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” and his chart-topping collab with Thomas Rhett, “Half Of Me,” have made Riley synonymous with what Country Music does best: making listeners feel something with his no-gimmick, relatable writing and classic feel. An avid sports fan, former athlete (Jacksonville State University quarterback) and outdoorsman, Riley is riding a wave of success after receiving four Academy of Country Music awards, being previously named a MusicRow Breakout Artist of the Year, a CMT “Listen Up Artist,” and one of CRS’s 2020 New Faces. Combs joined Riley on his PLATINUM No. 1 single “Different ‘Round Here (Ft. Luke Combs),” the title track to Riley’s 2019 debut album that he re-recorded with Combs after seeing how fans connected to it. The singer-songwriter’s third studio album, Don't Mind If I Do, produced by Dann Huff, arrived on his birthday, October 18, via Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment, with more of the signature Riley Green fans have come to know and love from the good ol’ boy who still lives in his hometown of Jacksonville, AL. Most recently, Green released the deluxe version, Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe), which includes six brand new tracks. Currently on an incredible hot streak, Green’s well-earned confidence in his work shines through across the 18-track set with five of the tracks being solely written including standouts “Jesus Saves,” the 3X-PLATINUM “Worst Way” and the title track—which finds Green reuniting with his “you look like you love me” duet partner.

Today, South by Southwest® (SXSW®) unveiled its new 2026 vision: bringing music, film & TV, and innovation programming together for seven concurrent days in downtown Austin, while honoring four decades of creative discovery and connection that has defined the event.
March 12-18, 2026, SXSW will run all programming simultaneously for the first time, creating deeper opportunities for the creative exchange between industries that has been SXSW's signature since 1987. The Music Festival expands to seven nights, and SXSW Interactive becomes SXSW Innovation, a change that reflects the broader scope of industries that now call SXSW home. SXSW EDU will run March 9-12, with March 12 as a full crossover day between the events.
The transformation comes as downtown Austin itself evolves, with the Austin Convention Center undergoing major redevelopment. SXSW 2026 will expand throughout the city center, creating themed neighborhoods that give each creative community a dedicated space while expanding the spontaneous encounters that have launched careers and sparked creative and business collaborations each year.
“The next four years present an incredible opportunity for SXSW,” said Jenny Connelly, Director in Charge of SXSW. “With the Austin Convention Center under construction, we’ve embraced the chance to reimagine the event and explore new, exciting possibilities. Our creative community is eager for impactful, immersive experiences, and we’re thrilled to bring them to life across Austin this March.”
"SXSW is a meeting place for creatives, and serves as a point of inspiration and meaningful insights that will define how we work, play, and connect, " said Peter Lewis, Chief of Partnerships and Strategy. “We are excited about curating even more touchpoints and pathways for impactful collaboration amongst our partners and the extraordinary SXSW audiences.”Applications are now open for PanelPicker® conference proposals, Music Festival showcasing artists, SXSW Pitch, and SXSW Innovation Awards. Film & TV Festival submissions will open in July.
“SXSW showcases the biggest ideas set to impact the next wave of creativity and innovation across technology, design, film, TV, music, education, and business,” said Greg Rosenbaum, VP of programming for SXSW and co-founder of SXSW EDU. “The voice of the community remains the beating heart of SXSW and the launch of our applications is an open call to participate in our programming process.”
The reimagined SXSW 2026 creates badge-specific neighborhoods throughout downtown Austin, supporting focused engagement and exploration:
- Music Festival & Conference badges access showcases and music industry programming.
- Film & TV Festival & Conference badges unlock screening venues and industry sessions.
- Innovation badges provide access to tech & innovation programming and community spaces.
- Platinum badges offer complete access to all three creative communities.
All badges include access to keynotes, featured sessions, exhibitions, and citywide experiences.
The concurrent format and community homebases deliver to attendees a way to experience the full spectrum of SXSW, but also experience the distinct identity and depth each community values. The evolution from “interactive” to “innovation” acknowledges the growth of SXSW’s technology programming beyond its 1990s digital roots to encompass healthcare advancements, sustainable business practices, marketing evolution, and startup culture across industries.
Additionally, the Music Festival’s expansion to seven consecutive nights creates additional showcase opportunities. For the past several years, SXSW Music has focused on curating more opportunities for participating acts, audiences and industry to connect with each other. The festival will maintain a similar venue footprint to recent years while optimizing the experience for artist development, industry and fans.
"SXSW Music is leveling up in 2026 and beyond," said Brian Hobbs, VP of Music Festival Programming. "Seven nights of showcases means more opportunities for artists to get their moment, and for music lovers to experience breakthrough performances throughout the event."
Today, SXSW also unveiled the first glimpse of its 2026 key art, created in partnership with Austin-based design firm Overstory and Taiwanese-American illustrator Josh Cochran. The vibrant illustration depicts diverse creatives gathering in Austin's reimagined downtown landscape, embodying the festival's "All Together Now" spirit.
