Comedian Nikki Glaser is set to make history at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes as the first woman to host the ceremony solo.

Leading up to her big night, Glaser said in a press release, “Hosting the Golden Globes is scary! It’s a well-lit room, which is not conducive to comedy; there are a lot of people I admire, which also is not conducive to comedy. It’s live, so you can’t do retakes.”

She added, “The level of difficulty is through the roof. And that’s thrilling to me.”

Glaser is also nominated in the category for best performance in a stand-up comedy on television for her HBO special “Someday You’ll Die.”
