Nikki Glaser, RuPaul & More React to 2026 Primetime Emmy Nods

You know who's been getting it done this awards season? Nikki Glaser, that's who. The comedian just received three Primetime Emmy nominations for her own special Nikki Glaser: Good Girl and as host of the 83rd annual Golden Globes. It's a big deal, especially since she's already been announced as host of the 2027 Golden Globes, making her the first person to host three years running since Tina Fey and Amy Poehler co-hosted from 2013-15.

Nikki's been feeling the love, and rightly so. "Hosting the Golden Globes is the greatest job I may ever have," she gushed in a statement. "I am so thrilled that the incredible team behind this massive live production got the nomination they deserve. Thank you to the Television Academy! We are all thrilled that we get to attend and enjoy an award show rather than working our asses off at one!" You get the vibe that Nikki's a big fan of hosting, and it's easy to see why - she's been doing it for years and has clearly got the hang of it.

Meanwhile, the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, hosted by none other than Bad Bunny, received a whopping 9 Emmy nods. Now, that's a record. It's clear that this show was a big deal, and it's getting the recognition it deserves. I mean, who doesn't love a good halftime show? And with Bad Bunny at the helm, you know it was going to be something special.

But what's really getting me excited is RuPaul's Drag Race. The show just got nominated for outstanding host for a reality or reality competition program for the 11th year in a row, breaking RuPaul Charles' record for the most nominations in the history of the category. "This wonderful news comes as we are filming the 19th season of RuPaul's Drag Race," RuPaul said in a statement. "We are all extremely grateful for the love, the freedom and the employment." It's clear that RuPaul is feeling the love, and it's easy to see why - the show is a huge hit, and RuPaul is a beloved figure entertainment.

But here's the thing: while these nominations are all well and good, they're not just about the celebrities getting the recognition. They're about the hard work and dedication of the teams behind the shows. Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, put it best when she said, "This Emmy nomination is a tremendous honor and a reflection of the extraordinary talent, creativity, and commitment of everyone who helped bring the 83rd Annual Golden Globes to life." It's a reminder that awards shows are about more than just the stars - they're about the people who make the magic happen behind the scenes.

So what's next for these Emmy-nominated crew members? Well, for starters, they get to attend the award show and enjoy the fruits of their labor. And for Nikki Glaser, that's going to be a third consecutive year hosting the Golden Globes - a feat that's only been achieved by a handful of people before. It's clear that she's on top of the world, and I'm excited to see what she does next. As for RuPaul, well, he's just going to keep on keeping on, breaking records and pushing boundaries with his hit show.And who knows? Maybe we'll see Bad Bunny making a comeback soon - after all, he's already broken one record, and I wouldn't put it past him to break a few more.
