Melissa Rivers speaks the truth. There was bias against the newcomer host. And the snobby blonde celebrity just wanted to show how high and mighty she is.

[@shellyee5682]

True

[@scorpio6562]

King ,Queen, blonde, billionaire all poop are smelly😂 Jo koy is doing great at GG..get a life Taylor glad i' m not a fan

[@LenYoshi.]

Agree

[@helenalberto6437]

She thinks she's greater than God.

[@s.t.santos5928]

Actually, JoKoy was the biggest winner that night. He became a relative unknown to everyone's-talking-about-him comedian. Any publicity is still publicity. Good for him.

[@wikoli-kuloloniele-kapalam2779]

Agree!! The butthurt Swifties are now watching his Netflix specials because they got curious

[@jesto3740]

Thanks, Melissa, for standing up for JoKoy. I totally agree with your take of the room.

[@naidirem77]

Respect to Melissa Rivers for a very honest review about Jokoy’s hosting Golden Globes. Jokoy’s an amazing person and really good at what he does…period!

[@carolperczak9938]

Delusional much. His jokes were NOT funny.

[@Muzik_Me]

​@evacsarhaku464 was very disappointed of her. Cleary, her fame is in her now. No doubt. Never liked her that much but now i hate her. Too proud of herself. Very bad and annoying attitude.

[@alabamatrixie7379]

It's Jo Koy...not jokoy lol

[@noemiazarias2492]

Thank you Melissa for defending Jo Koy . Great respect for Merryl Streep and Robert de Niro.

[@joycesalvagna5643]

Jo koy is 99% of the time, GREAT..he obviously had a rough time , the folks in the room need to pull that huge ego out of their butts. Jo needs to stick to being himself. Funny, big heart, honest..I love the guy...

[@MyNameIsJoyce]

Meryl and Robert de Niro were amazing! They played along and laughed. ❤ Jo Koy is actually a good comedian, but yeah... he only had 10 days to prepare for that. The haters should have cut the guy some slack.

[@UnderTheBridge96]

Dude a comedian has one mission, to make the audience *LAUGH* . Every comedian has bombed but this isn’t a sympathy thing, he went out to make them laugh and he failed. It was awful. It’s not the end of his career but don’t blame the audience, they don’t owe “sympathy” laughter

[@getreal2842]

​@@UnderTheBridge96 I don't think Jo Koy needs or wants any "sympathy" laughter. Yes he had "one mission"; to host a major award event. But to prep for it in just 10 days? Previous hosts had MONTHS to prepare! But Ms. Rivers is right that because the Golden Globes is supposed to be a fun event, some of these celebrities could at least lighten up on their egos and not be so snooty. They don't need to scowl or give fake laughter. It's not too hard to be nice and cordial like Meryl Streep or Robert DeNiro, who were really class acts!

[@emilyluza5092]

And Barry Keoghan! C’mon! He was just shyly laughing !

[@nanettetabuac9651]

That is why I love Meryl and Robert all the more for being gracious.

[@Muzik_Me]

​@@getreal2842totally agree. Its actually about the audience having problem attitude. The problem is the type audience not Jokoy. This guy can make people laugh. But if the audience is not accepting for whatever reason they have, no one can make them laugh no matter who will stand in that gig!

[@joycemira247]

Thank you for supporting Jo Koy. He’s a good host. We love him. Philippines loves this guy for being him and funny.

[@veronica-tk5ot]

much respect to Ms Melissa Rivers. thank you for giving a good point and review about the golden globe. the crowd is so stiff and lacked sense of humor , they feel so entitled. Thank Jokoy for taking a gig when noone wants to do it. that is exactly why comedians are turning it down. snob crowds especially Taylor Swift! so tired of her for being thinned skin. come on !!! grow up to be a mature lady.

[@roxy5588]

Exactly. I was not so sure about the monologue until I saw this video. And I have changed my mind that these rich folks (except, de Niro and Streep) are full of shit. Everyone not laughing made me ill. People have seemed to have lost their sense of humor.

[@bernieb515]

Yup, lighten up right? Why was Taylor so uptight? Gee-whiz, is comedy dying?

[@marygraceramirez3807]

Very well said!❤

Thanks Melissa I agree with you on your take on jokoy. I thought he did a bang up job. He looked great, animated, big smiles, and handled the lack of connection back to him quite professionally.

[@marsoh6102]

Thanks for your honest review Melissa. They showed no love at all. Before Jo came up to that stage, people made up their minds not to have fun. Tough crowd. Very dry and stiff.

[@yadytweyt5350]

way to be legit transparent Melissa to defend Jo Koy and how the room was rude to him!!

[@luxuryglow]

Jo Koy is Golden Globe’s SAVIOR and HERO! No one will be talking about the show if it’s not for Jo Koy! Yeayy, GO JO KOY! ⭐️⭐️

[@lorraineaguirre9201]

Jo Koy was great!! He did a great job for the first time!!! He was funny, and audience made it hard on him. So uptight.

[@richo1234]

Jimmy Kimmel prepared for half a year when he hosted the Oscars, and Chris Rock would try out his material in comedy clubs. Jo Koy should be commended for getting up there with rushed and untested material.

[@daisysee2935]

toastmasters knew it..

[@lulumum835]

I have watched joe for years and think he's immensely talented. I enjoyed his Monologue

[@donnamersing4659]

Love JoKoy, he was treated disrespectfully.

[@jmaria168]

It was a tough job for JoKoy. The crowd was also adjusting to seeing how this new face will fare, as if some didnt want JoKoy to succeed. Meryl Streep was kind to interact with JoKoy.

[@thevoicesculptor]

Hello? The A-list comedians boycotted the Golden Globes cuz of the Chris Rock incident at the Oscars. Even Ali Wong said no. They were lucky SOMEbody agreed to host LOL

[@prettybaby844]

JOKOY WAS GREAT INSPITE OF 10 DAYS SHORT NOTICE

[@loracash3693]

Were they lucky? Joe was awful

[@thevoicesculptor]

so who were they going to get? Everybody else said no. Check out what Howard Stern had to say - apparently he knew a lot about the situation. Hired 10 days before the GG???? When Ricky Gervais or Chris Rock or anybody else would have been hired months, if not a year before the actual date?!?!?@@loracash3693

[@swtpaige1004]

Exactly Melissa, people were not fun at all. Streep and DeNiro were troopers!

[@rosemariefornilos5568]

Thank you Melissa You are one of the Intelligent people in the US

[@ericsavellano]

JOKOY did an okay job. I have no complaints about it. It was a great show, he delivered okay given the tight schedule. No one's offended. Oppenheimer got awards, everybody's happy. Swifties just got butthurt and We don't care. It is what it is.❤

[@sirfletch9802]

indeed

[@Muzik_Me]

Jokoy will be fine, this incident will make him even more popular in his field but the gurl who is already up there will get divided opinion and changed minds. I dont really like her but now i hate her. Too proud. She is not a nice person. Im not being judgemental, its all based on her attitude at the award. It sayd everything about her!

Thank you for being fair about Jokoy's performance Melissa Rivers ❤

[@Isogotit]

I liked JoKoy. He did joke the truth about a lot of people. Taylor didn’t get it unfortunately.

[@far.wisteria]

Jo is just not used to making celebrity jokes. That's not his content. This uncharted territory with lack of time made him submissive to the voices telling him what to do. Love these hosts who aren't jumping on the bandwagon and actually assessed fairly

[@gwendolynormita3936]

Taylor giving off “mean girl vibes”. What with the whispering and closed off “giggles.” Mean Girl”..

[@idakristinedemesa5234]

I think Jokoy would’ve performed better if he was given more time to prepare. Another comedian came to his defense and said that people only see a 10 or 15 minute gig, but people don’t know that what goes behind it is the hundreds or hours rehearsing. He also said that overall Jokoy did well. Jokoy would’ve been more comfortable delivering those jokes given ample time.

[@jcr6000]

Agree with Melissa. I don't think he bombed at all. Jokoy was great. He was more respectful of people than Rick Gervais. Maybe many we're just expecting too much. He delivered several good jokes. For someone to host that kind of a show for the first time, with him being an outsider and not having had the opportunity to hobnob with those in the audience before, that's courage. And to come out still able to elicit good laughter, maybe not from all his jokes, that was great performance still. Just being objective about it.

[@noellarash367]

At first I thought he did a terrible job… but really he did a terrific job, he was given a very short notice… 10 days

[@mariaedithavaldez9629]

Spot on Melissa Rivers re: Jokoy! 😂

[@ruthsanchez9724]

100% agree with her take on the room being so unfun that night. Taking themselves too seriously. It was really sad and judgmental. Like come on!!! Bravo to Jokoy for even accepting (so last minute) to do the hosting. His jokes should have been better received. Just give him a break, roll with it. 10 days was not much to prepare.

[@leesmeereads2much]

Melissa should be LEADING this panel , come on !

[@rdr6686]

It was such a weird reaction from Taylor. The joke wasn’t even about her and she just dead panned. I think the media is blowing her reactions out of proportion. Also love seeing Melissa!!! Wish she could have her own segment

[@DMSPATRICE7861]

Jokoy, you are still wonderful and funny. More power to you.

[@janettejohnston339]

Give joe coy a break. He only had 10 days to prepare. He was thrown into something above his head. I feel sorry for him

[@prettybaby844]

JOKOY IS A GREAT COMEDIAN GIVE HIM 6 MONTHS TO PREPARE AND HE WILL NAILED TO BE BETTER AT THE AWARDS SEASON

[@roxy5588]

Exactly. Almost everyone gave the guy so much shit by being jerks.

[@zisnzat-uw7gg]

Fashion Police! I am a Jo Koy fan. The crowd was sedate! Nobody's fashion impressed me; all predictable. The Rodarte was gorgeous but needed straps. I agree with Melissa completely. Mel, I still miss Joanie so much!❤

Ricky Gervais was hated when he first hosted that people forget.

[@chid4610]

Yes cut him some slack! I laughed at the jokes! I guess the guy is unknown and some decided they don’t like him cos of his Asian looks??? The real stars were not afraid to play along.

[@bonnieflynn4798]

I’m Asian. Didn’t like him cuz his jokes were dumb and offensive

[@marmalade0959]

@bonnieflynn4798 You’re insecure you should be supporting your own kind

[@daisysee2935]

one can relate the jokes if they watched the movies.

[@theyaya2502]

Koy mentioned he didn’t write all the material. Like apologizing for it. So I think his heart wasn’t in it. That evidently made the delivery weak and fall short. Love Melissa. Her mom would say to Taylor “grow up” ! 💝

[@daisysee2935]

I think the writer issue was part of the joke.

[@denisepaulsenful]

I agree I thought KoJo was hilarious 😂

[@deborahpalermo3750]

The joke was about the media not Swift

[@plm8830]

HE DIDN'T BOMB 9.4 MILLION VIEWS THIS YEAR, 6.3 MILLION VIEWS LAST YEAR

[@ceciliaplebanski809]

They probably paid him well so he took the risk to host. Now he’s more well known !

[@evacsarhaku464]

Why was everybody talking about Taylor Swift? Sorry I’m not a Swifty fan. I’m with Melissa Rivers she could have responded more professionally rather than snooty. A more humble response would have been fine.

[@pokerassassin125]

Nice to see Melissa.

[@sionmar1695]

Thnak you , melissa, for defending JO Koy.

[@leapintothewild]

I’m sure Melissa inherited a lot of wonderful qualities from her brilliant mother, but it’s hard to look at her own stiff, plastic face after what Joan did to herself all those years. Melissa was a lovely young woman and it’s sad to see what she felt she needed to change when, in fact, she was pretty and healthy-looking.

[@margaretschaffner9133]

I was distracted by the grey hoodie! wtf? For someone to be critiquing the Golden Globes fashion wearing a biker jacket with a grey hoodie.

[@mottawa1]

She looks like she’s embalmed.

[@small5th]

I didn’t think his jokes were too offensive either except the one about Bradley Cooper’s nose in “Maestro.” I’m surprised more people weren’t offended by that

[@Hazel19283]

Agree. Hope Jokoy will be given a chance to redeem himself 😹

[@mikelkirby2791]

Nice to see you, Melissa Rivers. Spot on critique, sorry few will see this since it is US magazine's review (yes, a bit of "shade"). Not the usual "Golden Globe inebriated crowd". And yes, a bit uptight. JoKoy was great considering his "short notice". "There is always next year"...

[@Es-C-kat]

Thank you Ms Rivers for the kind words. JoKoy is a comedian with good heart...no wonder the silver screen movie goers are getting less and less and more streaming online now hehehhe. ❤❤❤

[@KirstiStephenson]

Jo Koy is So Amazing and I adore him that crowd did him dirty big time I don't know why they were being such snobs but I thought he handled himself very well and was treated abominably! go back to every other host of the Globes and their vicious vicious jokes and tell me how his jokes were so kitty cat compared to what's been said previously!

[@idakristinedemesa5234]

Apart from the fact that he’s less popular and rich than them, Jokoy also represents Asians. If it happened to a White or Black guy, the reception would’ve been different.

[@RebeccaKhan-fx7jf]

Very thorough and professional, Melissa. Right on. It doesn't help viewership to have a demure audience with low energy. Angela Bassett looked fabulous. Taylor Swift's green dress looked great. Helen Mirren's dress was great and JLo's dress was, too. If I had the opportunity to attend an awards event, I wouldn't wear black. Greta's dress was perfect.

[@pearlm7983]

I thought Swift and those Kelce guys are smart? It’s a frckn joke. ‘Too big’ to take jokes anymore? What publicity are the Kelces talkin about. He was hired and the script obviously was arranged. No wonder why no comedians wanted to take that gig

I really don’t think that joke was that rude. It wasn’t very good but I have seen comedians be a lot ruder. The same people who decent Chris Rock for that insensitive joke he made about Jada Smith are calling Koy out for that silly joke about Taylor.
