The joke’s on Jo Koy: Golden Globes host delivers a bad gig for the ages
Even in a star-studded list of award show host stinkers, the Filipino-American comedian was special – in that he went down like a lead balloon
The Academy Awards got so used to its hosts tanking (see: a gurning James Franco; Seth MacFarlane singing about boobs) that they briefly stopped hiring them all together before returning to the safe, staid embrace of Jimmy Kimmel ( four years in a row now and counting). So step in Filipino American comedian Jo Koy, who was announced as the Golden Globes’ last-minute pick just two weeks before the ceremony. It is perhaps telling that Paul Giamatti could encourage more genuine laughs with his brand of natural, avuncular chaos than Koy, a professional comedian paid to make people do just that – but it’s a crap job and apparently someone has to do it.
