Tina Fey, Amy Poehler to replace Ricky Gervais as Golden Globes hosts
The Washington Times ^ | Sunday, January 12, 2020 | Lynn Elber - Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. — Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will share host duties for the Golden Globes ceremony in 2021.

Poehler herself shared the announcement at a TV critics meeting Saturday, just a week after the ceremony aired with Ricky Gervais as host.

“There are no two funnier people anywhere,” said Poehler, who introduced herself with the name of an NBC publicist who was to have opened the network’s daylong presentation about its programming.

A tongue-in-cheek Poehler said the network was glad the pair found time in their busy schedules to take on the Globes. They have hosted three times before.

At last Sunday’s ceremony, Gervais’ snarky jokes in his fifth turn as host received mixed reviews and reactions from the celebrity audience. Poehler and Fey earned a warmer reception for their comedic approach.

Gervais repeatedly said during the ceremony that it was the last time he intended to emcee. A total of 18.3 million viewers tuned in, a small drop over the 18.6 million who watched the 2019 ceremony co-hosed by Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg.

“There’s no denying that Tina and Amy’s comedic chemistry is infectious,” said Lorenzo Soria, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which bestows the TV and movie awards. “We can’t wait to see the dynamic duo return to the Golden Globes stage.”

Poehler joked that she couldn’t wait to present the best film award to the video, “Puppy Dog Bouncing in the Box Like This.”

My wife still laughs about Tina Fey. The first time Fey did her routine, my wife turned on the TV to watch the news and said, “hey, it’s Sarah Palin”. My response was “I thought she looked smarter and much prettier than that”. Then we found out it was not the real Sarah.

Aren’t they both just going to stick to the “party line” and bash Trump, conservatives, etc. ?/

Next year at the Golden Globes, we will know the results of the 2020 election, so if Trump is re-elected, that could affect their “comedy” and “jokes”.

Ah, back to their safe spaces.

They can dish it out, but they can’t take it, as always.

Who gives a s**t? Their lives and their little awards they give to each other to feel useful mean nothing.

If the power went out, their only use would be as fertilizer.

Thanks for posting. I hadn’t watched that is quite a while. Particularly hits home after the GG’s. Seinfeld IS one of the funniest guys ever. Spot on.

Sorry about the quality, it must be a copy of a copy or something.

I have never watched the Golden Globes. It has something to do with bust measurements, right?

Didn’t he stay on script? He appeared to be reading a teleprompter when he paused and questioned going ahead with the joke about the woman in Cats licking her own crotch.

All I know is that a Tina Fey quote is the same exact thing as a Sarah Palin quote.
