Friends, co-stars and collaborat­ors, Fey and Poehler have performed onstage together since 1993 when they both honed their skills as part of the Second City comedy troupe in Chicago. Less than a decade later, they were collaborat­ors on Saturday Night Live and went on to do several movies together, including Sisters, Mean Girls and Wine Country. As Golden Globe hosts in 2013, 2014 and 2015, they’ve never been afraid to poke fun at their industry and co-stars. Here are a few of their greatest hits.

“You stay away from Michael J. Fox’s son!”

—Fey to Taylor Swift, 2013

“I have not seen someone so totally alone and abandoned like that since you were onstage with James Franco at the Oscars.”

—Fey to Anne Hathaway, referring to her role in Les Misérables in 2013 (and to Hathaway’s widely panned performanc­e hosting the Oscars with Franco in 2011)

“Gravity is nominated for best film. It’s the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age.”

—Fey, 2014

“Masters of Sex is the degree I got from Boston College.”

—Poehler, 2014

“For his role in Dallas Buyers Club, he lost 45 pounds. Or what actresses call ‘being in a movie.’”

—Fey to Matthew McConaughe­y, 2014

2001…presenter Elizabeth Taylor was supposed to name the nominees and announce the winner. Instead, the Hollywood icon immediatel­y ripped open the envelope for best movie drama and nearly revealed the winner of the night’s big prize, right then and there. The crowd gasped; producer Dick Clark ran onto the stage and interrupte­d her. The winner? Gladiator—or, as she pronounced it, “Glaaaaadia­tor!”

The first ceremony was held Jan. 20, 1944, at 20th Century Fox Studios. The Song of Bernadette, a biographic­al drama about the sainted Bernadette Soubirous starring Vincent Price and Jennifer Jones, won three trophies, including Best Motion Picture. As the shows and categories evolved, more people became members of the first-timers club.
