Chelsea Handler gave a sly nod to her ex-partner Jo Koy’s recent performance at the Golden Globes while presiding over the stage at this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards. The two comedians were in a relationship for about a year before going their separate ways in 2022.
During the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, Handler apparently reused one of Koy’s Golden Globes monologue jokes, which had previously received criticism. First, though, she took a shot at two beloved veteran actors. Handler called attendees Harrison Ford and Robert De Niro “total smoke shows.”
Chandler then turned his hungry loins towards Flower Moon Killers Director: Martin Scorsese. “Martin Scorsese isn’t here tonight, but that won’t stop me from letting everyone in this room know that I would throw him around like a little Italian meatball.” The comedian paused to laugh before adding, “Thanks for laughing at that. “My writers wrote it.”
Many interpreted Chelsea Handler’s comment as a subtle criticism of Jo Koy, whose performance hosting the Golden Globes last week was met with mixed reviews. Some accused him of placing too much blame on her writing team.
Last week, when Jo’s opening monologue received a lukewarm response from the celebrities in the room, it seemed as if she was implying that she had single-handedly written the cleverest comments. “I wrote some of these, and they’re the ones you laugh at,” she joked at the ceremony. Koy later called her reference to the writers a “rookie move.”
Jo Koy’s most scrutinized joke at the Golden Globes was about Taylor Swift’s relationship with professional football player Travis Kelce. “As you know, we came after a double football game,” Koy said during her opening monologue. “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL: At the Golden Globes, we get fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift, I swear.”
Swift, a regular attendee at Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games, seemed unaffected by the joke as she sat stone-faced.
In the midst of all this, Jo seemingly set her sights on the illustrious stars attending the Golden Globes while performing her recent comedy act. ″[They’re a] Lots of marshmallows, man.” Variety Koy reports telling an audience recently.
“They are delicious, but [gosh], they’re soft. I just come from a different era. I see the changes that are happening. Can [not] Laugh at ourselves?
