Jo Koy is one of the world’s most renowned comedians. Starting his career in 1994, Koy has also been a part of numerous TV shows. While he is widely loved by his fans around the world, it’s okay for a comedian to have his jokes bomb during his set. The same seemed to have happened at the Golden Globe Awards which was being hosted by the comedian this past weekend.

What did fans say about Jo Koy’s monologue at the Golden Globe Awards?

Jo Koy seemed to rely heavily on inside jokes about the films that were nominated like The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inisherin. Moreover, he repeated references to Robert De Niro’s advanced age which did not seem to land with the audience. 

To make matters even worse, Koy was seemingly aware that his jokes were falling flat and went off script. In a rather uncalled-for rant, the comedian suggested that he received the script just 10 days ago and blamed the writers.
