No laughing matter.
Nikki Glaser appeared on “The Howard Stern Show” the morning after she emceed the star-studded 2025 Golden Globes — and claimed that she got paid less than what a past male host earned.
“I got paid pretty — I’m good with that,” Glaser, 40, said Monday.
“There was a past host who said how much he got paid in his monologue and I got less than that, but that’s OK. I’ll get more next year,” she added. “I feel well paid for what I do. I’m alright.”
The Post reached out to the Golden Globes for comment.
Glaser appeared to be referring to Jerrod Carmichael, who hosted the ceremony in 2023.
During his monologue, the 37-year-old claimed he got paid $500,000 for the gig.
Other stars who have hosted the Golden Globes in recent years include Jo Koy (2024), Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (2021), Ricky Gervais (2020), Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh (2019) and Seth Meyers (2018).
Gervais, who has hosted the show five times, told the Hollywood Reporter in 2020 that he gets paid well for the job, but didn’t disclose an amount.
“Yeah, of course, but that’s not why I do it,” said the British comedian. “I’ve got enough f–king money. I said to my agent, ‘I won’t do for money anything I wouldn’t do for free.’ He went, ‘Please don’t say that ever again.’ “
At this year’s Golden Globes, Glaser made history as the first woman to host the annual award show solo.
She was praised for her 10-minute opening monologue where she poked fun at Timothee Chalamet, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Nicole Kidman, Harrison Ford, Benny Blanco, “Wicked” and “Joker 2.”
On Stern’s show, Glaser admitted that she would’ve hosted the Globes with no paycheck.
“This first year, when you’re just trying to prove yourself, I honestly would’ve done it for free,” she told the radio personality. “It’s an insane platform to be on. It’s not about the money for me.”
Glaser also revealed the wild jokes that she ended up not using.
“The Golden Globes is the only show where you can see the biggest stars and movies and television joined together with the same goal — getting out of here tonight before Dax Shepard asked them to do his podcast,” Glaser said.
Another one of Glaser’s planned jokes was, “This is the last time all of you will be in the same room together until the Diddy trial.”
She explained that she didn’t tell that joke “because it’s like you’re accusing the people of that room of being involved in that, and they might turn on you.”
