How Nikki Glaser Honored Rob Reiner at Golden Globes 2026

by

The 2026 Golden Globes kept it all in the family.

Following the awards ceremony on January 11th, where stars like Timothée Chalamet, Rose Byrne, and Seth Rogen were recognized, host Nikki Glaser paid a heartfelt tribute to the late actor and director Rob Reiner.

For her last appearance as host, Glaser wore a black baseball cap referencing Spinal Tap, the fake documentary that marked Reiner’s first feature film as a director in 1984. This was a quiet tribute to Reiner, who tragically died along with his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in a stabbing at their Los Angeles home just a month prior.

The comedian wrapped up the show at the Beverly Hilton, joking, “We really pushed it tonight!” He thanked the audience for a fantastic evening, hoping they enjoyed the balance between wit and silliness, and finished with a playful, “Have a good Chalamet!” before saying good night.

Glaser explained that she made a real effort to be both respectful and funny when hosting the ceremony for the second time.

She recently told CBS Mornings that she loves these actors and actresses. She explained that it’s simple to playfully criticize newer, younger performers – she feels like an experienced professional and can joke around with them. However, when it comes to those she’s admired for years, she takes a different approach this time around.

Glaser said she aimed to be careful with her jokes, wanting to avoid anything that would spoil the evening for anyone.

She also explained that the goal is to entertain the audience and playfully tease celebrities that viewers already dislike. Essentially, people want to see comedians joke about famous faces.
