Golden Globes President Helen Hoehne said, “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.” Jo Koy added, “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.”
Even with recent changes, including expanding the voter rolls and adding new categories, the Golden Globes are still expected to be a major kickoff to the 2024 awards season, especially with nominees like Barbie and Oppenheimer. The host, Jo Koy, marks a change of pace for the Globes, who have previously featured major comedians like Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
In their press release revealing Koy as the host, the Globes highlighted the relative freshness of their pick, writing, “This marks the comedian’s first-ever hosting gig role for a major awards show.” Should be an exciting show!
