Ricky is replaced
Fey & Poehler tapped for Globes — in 2021
As the Globes turn, Ricky is out and Amy and Tina are back in.
Amy Poehler announced Saturday that she and fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum Tina Fey will return to the Golden Globes in 2021, their fourth time hosting what’s often the loosest show of awards season.
“There are no two funnier people anywhere,” Poehler joked Saturday at the winter press tour for the Television Critics Association.
An ex-con charged with hacking his former lover’s friend to death with an ax in Brooklyn is facing additional charges for flinging feces at a corrections officer on Rikers Island, officials confirmed Saturday.
Jerry Brown, 34, was transferred from Rikers to the Manhattan Detention Complex in August after he aimed his excrement at the woman officer overseeing the cells at the George R. Vierno Center on Aug. 17.
The feces landed all over the officer’s face, hair
NBC Entertainment Chairman Paul Telegdy concurred, calling them “two of the funniest people on the planet. And we didn’t want to wait any longer to share the great news that they’ll be hosting the Globes once again.”
NBC also might have wanted the news out a full year before the event to distance itself from Ricky Gervais, who again created controversy on this year’s show.
During Gervais’ appearance Sunday, the Brit and body, according to court papers.
He was charged three days later with aggravated harassment and obstructing government administration, and transferred to Manhattan, officials said.
He was being held at Rikers on murder charges for allegedly hacking a pregnant Savannah Rivera to death with an ax on April 19, and seriously wounding his ex-girlfriend Angela Valle, as Valle’s 4year-old daughter hid in another room. sardonically teased the room of film and TV stars and bigwigs about their links to disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and alleged ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Gervais also joked, as he often does, that this would be his last time hosting.
He may not be gone for good, but he’s out for 2021 in favor of the two friends and funnywomen.
The “Parks and Recreation” star, 48, and her frequent comedic collaborator Fey, 49, previously hosted the Globes, which are broadcast by their longtime network home of NBC, in 2013 through 2015.
During Sunday’s awards, Poehler presented alongside Taylor Swift, who had previously slammed her and Fey for the 2013 Globes joke she deemed a “little sexist,” in which they mocked the songstress’ widely publicized romances, telling her to “stay away from Michael J. Fox’s son.”
All seemed forgiven Sunday, at Poehler and Swift’s altogether friendly appearance.
