Bring back these two next time #GoldenGlobes /OJS6oeGt2y- Nadia Business □️□□️⚧️ ❤️ January 8, 2024 Not only was he completely unfunny, he realised he was bombing + threw his writers under the bus + then tried to reduce the biggest film of the year to a boob joke. Jo Koy’s monologue was one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time. It was enough for some to wish for the return of longtime Golden Globes co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. blaming his writers for his poor editorial choices/direction is both poor leadership and peak cringe- Megan MacKay January 8, 2024 they pick the jokes that go into the script. Ok so RE the Jo Koy thing: when writing for a standup in that format, the performer pretty much has carte blanche over what they say. You don't blame other writers for it.- January 8, 2024 I can't imagine how much it would suck to only get 10 days to prepare then stand on a stage and bomb. I keep thinking about Jo Koy throwing the writers under the bus last night. The biggest lowlight of the night has to be Jo Koy, coming fresh off the monumental WGA strike, disgracefully throwing his writers under the bus /WPsy0LVPvL- TylerCWhitmore January 8, 2024 "The biggest lowlight of the night has to be Jo Koy, coming fresh off the monumental WGA strike, disgracefully throwing his writers under the bus," wrote on X/Twitter. I wrote some of these, and they’re the ones you’re laughing at.” "Yo, I got the gig 10 days ago, you want a perfect monologue?” he said. At issue particularly were the Swift joke, one about Barbie ("Oppenheimer is based on a 721-page Pulitzer Prize-winning book about the Manhattan Project, and Barbie is on a plastic doll with big boobies"), and a jab at his own writers after said Barbie joke bombed. While it's nice to see Koy being a good sport about it, it's no exaggeration to say his monologue was near-universally panned. But it just didn’t come out that way.” Tough Critics I was trying to make fun of the NFL using cutaways and how the Globes didn’t have to do that. “I think it was when the Taylor one was just a little flat,” Koy said during the GMA3 interview when asked which moment was the roughest.

Koy noted elsewhere in the interview - and during the monologue itself - that he only had 10 days to prepare. Getting that gig, and then having the amount of time that we had to prepare - that was a crash course.” “Well, I had fun - you know, it was a moment that I’ll always remember,” he said. The reactions in the room to Koy's routine were muted, and the ones online were brutal, with reviews calling his jokes "cringe-worthy," saying he seemed "out of his depth and a fish out of water," and criticizing his "weak joke-construction."
