Descriptions

Eight days before Anthony Anderson's well-intentioned but ultimately misguided ode to classic television, standup comedian Jo Koy embarrassed himself at the Golden Globes with a half-baked monologue that turned into a roast of his own writers. After taking the hosting job just under two weeks before the telecast aired, Koy claimed throughout his monologue that he was underprepared, although the truth of the matter seemed to just be that his jokes weren't particularly funny. Koy's highlights include complaining that "Oppenheimer" was too long and that Greta Gerwig's incisive, super-successful "Barbie" film — is about a "doll with big boobies." Once Koy started bombing, he decided to blame his writers, claiming the only jokes receiving a positive reception were the ones he wrote.

Nobody's saying it's easy to write incredible jokes in ten days, but surely one can do better than that; one could also conceivably refrain from going after their writers in the aftermath of a historic strike against greedy studios. (Koy later called that a "rookie move," but the damage was done.) Watching Koy bomb in real time was a rough experience for audiences, and just proved that if there's no host shortly before a telecast, maybe the proceedings shouldn't even have a monologue.
