Liza Koshy is a comedian, actor, and digital-native polymath whose transition into Hollywood is more or less a long-foretold administrative update. If you were even passively online in the latter half of the 2010s—if you ever scrolled Vine in bed, absorbed humor through hyperextended facial expressions, or learned comic timing in six-second intervals—you are likely already fluent in her work. You might know her from her early Vine skits. You might remember her YouTube era, defined by high-velocity physical comedy and a cunning command of self-awareness. You might know her as a red-carpet mainstay or a former Met Gala host. Actually, at this point, you probably know her as an actress.

Nearly a decade later, we haven’t kept our eyes off of Koshy—she can now be seen in higher resolution, with more collaborators and bigger rooms. In recent years, she has assembled a body of work that recalls her affinity for multiplicity: ensemble turns in studio comedies, voice roles in globally circulating animated films, and appearances in projects like Players, A Family Affair, The Naked Gun, and the Golden Globe–winning K-Pop Demon Hunters. Koshy, presently operating at the highest caliber in Hollywood, has only perfected the craft of making joy legible for all, and we are fortunate simply to bear witness.

That sensibility feels especially legible at the Golden Globes, where Moët & Chandon has spent 35 years presiding over cinema’s most ritualized night of collective celebration. Champagne is, at its core, a social performance. It is highly contingent on anticipation, precision, and the agreement that joy is better when witnessed. Koshy herself is naturally predisposed to this frequency. Both understand that pleasure, when done well, carries memory and spells out the truths of joy.

In conversation with FLAUNT, Koshy speaks—with the sheer effervescence and lightness of champagne—as someone deeply aware of where she’s been and exactly why she’s here—still animated by the work, still attuned to the communal charge that makes it matter. To be in the room, glass raised, laughter calibrated just so, is its own kind of performance. Liza Koshy has always known how to play it.

What makes the experience of celebrating the 2026 Golden Globes with Moët & Chandon special, and how do you feel your personal ethos aligns with the spirit of the champagne?

I’m bubbly… I humbly claim to be champagne personified. I tend to be enjoyed responsibly, on special occasions or any occasion, elevating the energy into a damn good time… hence, our joyful alignment. That synchronicity was all the more cemented with Moët & Chandon and their ‘Toast for a Cause’ initiative at the Golden Globes. Savoring life while bettering the experience for others by donating to a cause that’s near and dear to me, like the Ghetto Film School? That was compounded joy on the red carpet for me! I’m honored to help further provide education, access and resources to the next generation of storytellers that are building their own tables to toast at… thanks to Moët & Chandon.

What was a personal highlight from the Golden Globes?

Every moment is a luminous highlight when you’re sipping what I sipped all night… but I was especially honored to be welcomed to the Golden Globes table by Moët & Chandon as an actress featured in a Golden Globe winning production! I’m honored to have voiced a small role in the massive hit, ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ which took home two Golden Globes for Best Animated Film and Cinematic Box Office Achievement. Chris Gabaldon, CEO for Moët Hennessy North America, ensured my glass was full to properly cheers to the win, TWICE. FLAUNT interview answers can’t describe how proud I am to see my fellow AAPI artists thrive and stunningly cry on stage. Cheers to original, deeply cultural, wildly catchy and ridiculously comical stories being celebrated by the world.

With the new year kicking off, what are some upcoming projects you are looking forward to? And at the same time, how do you approach balancing your work and your personal life?

I’m stoked to pop bottles with my ensemble casts at the premieres of Family Movie and Man with the Bag, releasing this year. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are my relationship goals and my director duo of Family Movie which shot in my home-state of Texas. It was a wet dream to shoot in 97 degrees in the heat peak of May… but it was a genuine dream to have brunch on the weekends with my family in Houston, just 2 hours away from our hot set. Kevin and Kyra graciously welcomed my parents to set where Texan chiggers (prairie bugs) ate my dad’s legs. He’s scarred by the experience, but it was a tear-jerking one for me to have my makers witness what I love doing most on earth: acting.

It was recently announced that Vine is making a comeback. Given that it was the platform where you first started, what are your thoughts on its revival, and what direction do you hope a new generation of creators will take with it?

Some sequels are better than the originals, like Rush Hour 2. I hope this iteration of Vine produces high-quality vocal stims for the next generation to quote in their deathbeds. It taught me so damn much. I speak in one-liners because of the neural pathway Vine busted open in my brain.  It’ll inevitably become the first medium that a new wave of fearless artists can use to test their material and sharpen their shtick. I thank God that I had it to discover the shitshow that was within me when I was 17.

Moët & Chandon has a long history of being part of memorable moments. Looking back, what was a special celebration or milestone you celebrated last year, and what are you looking forward to in 2026?

I was honored to be a part of the brilliantly stupid, Liam Neeson-led, Akiva Schaffer-directed, Golden’ Globe-snubbed film, The Naked Gun.  Our comedy was, ironically, my drama masterclass. Stoic, subtle, dry, thrown-away delivery allowed room for the wildly absurd to unfold on-set or in the edit. A character by the name of ‘Jet’ that I used to play in 2017 on my Youtube channel is very much the double entendre-loving, overconfident, under-deliverer that is Detective Frank Drebin. I’m a slut for Buster Keaton, Pink Panther and Mr. Bean… So honoring the brilliant Leslie Nielsen in our iteration of The Naked Gun was also a wet dream, but in 72 degrees. In 2026, I co-star in two of my favorite genres of film… a horror comedy (Family Movie) and an action Christmas comedy (The Man with the Bag) starring action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger and directed by my bucket-list comedy director, Adam Shankman. The film takes place in New York and is the reason why I moved to Brooklyn. I’ve been a New Yorker for a year now and you can tell through my monochromatic, wannabe-Euro wardrobe. I love NYC. It’s only begun to make me salivate creatively… so 2026, shall be wet… with definitely a lot more Moët & Chandon.
