The 2026 Golden Globes kept it all in the family.
At the end of the Jan. 11 award ceremony — which awarded trophies to Timothée Chalamet, Rose Byrne, Seth Rogen and more — host Nikki Glaser honored late actor and director Rob Reiner with a touching tribute.
In her final moment as host, Glaser took the stage in a black baseball cap reading “Spinal Tap,” the mockumentary that served as Reiner’s feature film directorial debut in 1984. Her fashion choice offered a subtle nod to Reiner a month after he was killed alongside wife Michele Singer Reiner in a fatal stabbing at their home in Los Angeles.
“That’s our show. This one went to 11,” the comedian said on stage at the Beverly Hilton hotel. “Thank you guys for an amazing night and I hope we found the line between clever and stupid. A good Chalamet to you all! Good night.”
Indeed, Glaser said she really tried to balance respectfulness with humor during her second time hosting the ceremony.

The 2026 Golden Globes did not disappoint! From Nikki Glaser’s firey opening monologue, to Macaulay Culkin return to the Golden Globes stage, the “Heated Rivalry” moment everyone was waiting for and Julia Roberts and George Clooney’s “Oceans 11” reunion, Access Hollywood is breaking down the top moments of the night!
“I am a huge fan of these people,” she shared on “CBS Mornings” earlier this month. “It’s easy for me to take down the newer batch of actresses and actors who are younger than me. It’s like, ‘OK, I can make fun of you. I’m like a veteran.’ But when it’s people that I grew up admiring, it’s a different approach this year.”
Glaser explained that she wanted to be “very delicate about making jokes that aren’t going to ruin anyone’s night.”
“But you also want to give the people at home something to laugh at, and you want to poke fun at the people that they’re dying for you to make fun of,” she added. “People at home want you to make fun of the A-listers.”
