Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to co-host 2013 Golden Globes
Friends and former 'SNL' co-stars will reunite
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will team up again to co-host the 2013 Golden Globes.
Year after year, Tina Fey and/or Amy Poehler will pop up at the Emmys, the Golden Globes, or the Oscars and be so bright and funny and quick that they've outshone the actual host of the night. So the 2013 Golden Globes will cut out the middle man and just use Fey and Poehler as the co-hosts on January 13.
Fey and Poehler are longtime friends and frequent collaborators who have worked together at Second City, on "Saturday Night Live," and in the 2008 film "Baby Mama." Both also currently star in comedies on NBC (which will air the Globes), Fey in the final season of "30 Rock," and Poehler on "Parks and Recreation."
The promotion from presenter to host doesn't always go as smoothly as we might hope (witness Ricky Gervais on these same Globes), but the Fey/Poehler team has me genuinely excited to watch the ridiculous Golden Globes for the first time in forever.

October 15, 2012 at 8:18PM EST Reply to CommentWhy the jab at Ricky Gervais? He was a great host. Some people just take themselves waaay too seriously and are waaay too easily offended.
freesnowcones He didn't take a jab. He just commented that it wasn't a smooth transition. Content aside, it really wasn't!

October 15, 2012 at 8:21PM EST Reply to CommentI hope we'll get to see a lot of them throughout the show. The three times Gervais hosted he wasn't really a prominent part of the ceremony (including the first time before the controversy about his mean-spirited jokes became such a big deal).

October 16, 2012 at 10:30AM EST Reply to CommentI always thought Tina and Steve Carrel should have co-hosted the Oscars, provided they were allowed to write the whole show themselves. NBC has made a great choice with Fey/Poehler. There were some pretty stinging joke about the Hollywood Foreign Press the year Tracy Jordan won his Oscar on 30 Rock. This should be fun!

October 18, 2012 at 10:11AM EST Reply to CommentSeriously, does anyone find Amy Poehler that funny? Her show's good but thats because of the ensemble more than her. And I wasn't impressed by her stint on SNL and it's Weekend Update as Seth Myers is doing a much better job on his own.
