CountJo Koyas one person who thinks hisGolden Globeshosting wasnt a complete disaster.
I think I did well given the circumstances, he said in aninterview with the Los Angeles Times.
Koy had just 10 days to prepare.
Jo Koy at the 81st Golden Globe AwardsCBS
We were still writing up until they said were live, Koy said.
Absolute cold reads, never got a chance to work out anything.
I guarantee everyone would be like No.
Im happy I did it because I did accept that challenge.
I looked at it in a different light.
The history of the show is 81 years.
Thats 81 hosts and some repeated.
Im the first Asian to ever solo host.
Its 2024, Im the first out of 81 years.
Sandra Oh was the first co-host, but I was the first solo host.
The one joke that didnt land, but stirred up a hornets nest, involvedTaylor Swift.
I didnt understand the Taylor [Swift] tiff, Koy said.
But the whole intention of that joke was to make fun of the NFL.
What hurts the most is me just supporting Taylor, I support her, I love her work.
I got nieces that I bought tickets for.
Theres no ill intent in that joke.
The joke is about the NFL and how they keep using cutaways to [her].
And its an obvious reason why.
Im not saying anything that no ones saying,and its obvious what that joke was.
Its about the NFL.
Its like out of everything that has happened this is the one you choose to go after.
I didnt understand why because it was fun when I walked out.
And when I did the whole thing about him being 80 he loved it.
And that was fun.
I was like, man, this guys so much fun.
And then I did that [Swift] joke and Im like, what just happened?
