Comedian Jo Koy will host the upcoming version of Golden Globes. Koy will make his award present internet hosting debut on the Globes, following one other stand-up, Jerrod Carmichael, who hosted the eightieth awards, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

Excited in regards to the internet hosting stint, Koy in an announcement, “I’ve stepped onto a lot of stages around the world in my career, but this one is going to be extra special. I’m so excited to be hosting the Golden Globes this year. This is that moment where I get to make my Filipino family proud. Mahal Kita (Google it)!” (Mahal Kita interprets to ‘I like you.’) Welcoming Koy on board, Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne mentioned, “We are thrilled to have Jo host the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards and bring his infectious energy and relatable humor to kick off Hollywood’s award season. We can’t wait to see what he has in store for the stars in the room and a global audience. We know Jo is bringing his A-game.”

The Golden Globes are set to air on CBS (and stream on Paramount+) on January 7, 2024. The awards moved to CBS after operating on NBC for almost three a long time; the latter community ended its long-time relationship with the Globes after years of controversy over the conduct of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group previously behind the awards.
