Seth Meyers Might Be Your Next Golden Globes Host!

Alright, listen up, folks! It looks like Seth Meyers might just be about to step into the spotlight in a big way. According to Variety, the late-night comedy star is in serious talks to host the 2018 Golden Globes. If everything goes as planned, this would mark Seth’s first time hosting the prestigious award show. Now, while he's no stranger to big events—he hosted the Emmys back in 2014 and even rocked the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2011—this gig could be a game-changer. Can you picture it? Seth’s sharp wit and comedic timing bringing the house down at the Globes. I can’t wait!

Here’s the scoop: Seth was approached for the job early on, but he didn’t officially commit until just recently. The Golden Globes airs on Sunday, January 7, and let me tell you, Seth is exactly the kind of guy you want on stage to keep things lively and entertaining. Believe it or not, he wasn’t the only one who got the call. Big names like Ellen DeGeneres, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Ricky Gervais, and Tiffany Haddish were all offered the hosting gig, but they decided to pass. That leaves Seth standing tall as the top contender, and I think we’re all rooting for him.

Who Hosted Last Year?

Let’s rewind a bit. Last year, the Golden Globes had Jimmy Fallon stepping up to the plate. Jimmy, the charismatic host of The Tonight Show, brought his unique energy to the event. As NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt put it, “We’ve found the best possible host to make the evening really memorable and that’s Jimmy Fallon. I know he will bring his unique energy and wit to the show. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is thrilled, and we’re thrilled as well that he wanted to do it this year.”

Why Is Hosting the Golden Globes Such a Big Deal?

Now, here’s the thing about the Golden Globes: finding the right host isn’t always easy. According to Variety, the commitment required is significant, and for some big names, the return on investment might not always be worth it. That’s why, prior to 2009, the Golden Globes didn’t even have a regular host. But Seth? He’s been on a roll this year, boosting his ratings on Late Night With Seth Meyers thanks to his fearless take on President Donald Trump and his administration. With that kind of momentum, Seth’s got the perfect blend of experience and relevance to make the Golden Globes unforgettable.

Seth’s Journey to the Spotlight

Seth has been a late-night staple since he launched his talk show in 2014. Before that, he spent eight years as a writer and performer on Saturday Night Live, where he honed his skills and became a household name. With his sharp humor and ability to tackle tough topics with grace, Seth has earned his place in the entertainment world. Here’s hoping we’ll get to see him shine on the Golden Globes stage this year. If anyone can keep the energy high and the laughs rolling, it’s Seth Meyers.
