2013 Golden Globe Awards that are scheduled to take place on January 2013 will be co-hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
On Monday, NBC announced that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will co-host the ceremony which will happen on January 13, 2013. The co-hosts of the event are very close friends and they have earlier hosted ‘Saturday Night Live’ together.
In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the awards ceremony was hosted by controversial comedian Ricky Gervais. This time he insisted not to host the event and has also informed his agent not to let him host the event again as until the evening gets over, he does not enjoy the prestigious hosting.
While hosting the 2011 ceremony, Ricky insulted many celebrities in the audience and he came under the fire for the same reason. He wrote on his blog after hosting the 2012 ceremony that he had a blast and he also thanked God as it is over. He said that it was his favorite of three hosting stints.
During the latest award ceremony, he joked about the sexuality of Jodie Foster and also made fun about the paternity scandal of Justin Bieber. He believes that this time, the audience understood his comedy in a better manner.
