OK, so Jerrod Carmichael hosted this 12 months’s Golden Globes ceremony, and he didn’t maintain again.
During the present’s opening monologue, Jerrod revealed how a lot he was paid to host — a cool $500,000, apparently — and he put the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s historical past of alleged discrimination and racism on blast.
He additionally made a joke about Church of Scientology chief David Miscavige’s spouse Shelly, after referencing Tom Cruise’s determination to return his Golden Globes in 2021.

One of Jerrod’s jokes particularly was undoubtedly — I imply, nearly completely — referencing Will Smith slapping Chris Rock onstage on the 2022 Oscars.
When the present returned from a business break, Jerrod mentioned that the present had given an award off-air to Will Smith — particularly, the Rock Hudson award for “Best Portrayal of Masculinity on Television.”
Rock Hudson, should you’re unaware, was a massively well-known movie and TV star from the Fifties till his dying from an AIDS-related sickness in 1985. His costars and Hollywood associates later claimed that he was homosexual, and that his sexual id was an open secret in Hollywood.
So…yeah. Wild joke! In common, Jerrod’s undoubtedly given everybody lots to speak about after the telecast ends, that is for certain. You cannot say he did not actually go for it. That’s comedy for you!
