Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Are Your Golden Globe Hosts For The Next Two Years

The rumor that had been very loud and incredibly close (see what I did there?) is now a reality with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announcing that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be the hosts of the Golden Globes for the next two years. Yes, that means if they suck it doesn't matter because they are guaranteed a spot next year. Well, technically they could be bought out but it would be very expensive. Also as part of the deal, Tina;s daughter Alice gets to be Miss Golden Globes as much as she wants and Amy Poehler gets to have Johnny Depp act as her naked production assistant. OK, so the last two probably are not part of the deal but the rest is. This will be interesting because the duo are very funny but will all the "movie stars," like it? Movie stars are who the HFPA members hope to sleep with every year so their votes are important. I think the HFPA was looking for something safe and NBC was looking for a person or people who are on their network already and can promote the heck out of without reservation.

  1. I don't know it I'd call them safe. They have class, but they will slap a bitch down.

  3. She was startlingly unfunny on SNL a few weeks back. It was like her charisma dried up and she was a mean old lady.

  4. I hope they are funny enough to wipe that grimace off of Tommy Lee Jones's face this time around! Go ladies!!

  5. I think they are safe enough. Ricky Gervais is not safe, I love him. The good thing about the HFPA is they agreed to have no say in RG's material. I wonder if TF/AP required the same. They seem like they might be willing to allow some edits.

    I like TF/AP but I didn't think they were that funny as hosts.

  6. Re: thin skinned movie stars - As Brad Pitt said in "Twelve Monkeys", "Fuck the Bozos".

    These two are great. The Academy really needs to become more like the Golden Globes & become mostly awards & acceptance speeches. Leave the song and dance to the Ed Sullivan Show circa 1962.

  8. I do not get why people think these two are funny. The only funny bit I have ever seen Tina Fey do were impersonations of Caribou Barbie. Her other skits on SNL were moronic and her TV show was Dillard territory. Amy's tv show sucks and all she did on SNL was histronics. These two do not compare to robin Williams or even Chevy Chase. They aren't even attractive. Whatup with this bullshit?
