Chelsea Handler Makes a Sly Dig at Ex Jo Koy During Critics Choice Awards Opening Monologue

The comic returned to host for a second time and poked fun at her ex's divisive Golden Globes hosting debut.

"Unfortunately, Martin Scorsese isn't here tonight, but that's not going to stop me from letting everyone know that I would toss him around like a little Italian meatball," Handler joked, then added, "Thank you for laughing at that -- my writers wrote it." The not-so-subtle dig -- which earned a raucous round of applause -- referred to Koy's controversial remarks during his monologue, in which he blamed the show's writers for the jokes that didn't land, and tried to take credit for the ones that did. The 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards aired Sunday, Jan. 14, at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT on The CW.
