The Golden Globes‘ next two years will be hosted by funny ladies Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, NBC announced Tuesday.
“Tina and Amy are two of the most talented comedic writer/performers in our business, and they were a major reason the Golden Globes was the most entertaining awards show of last season,” said NBC president of alternative and late night programming Paul Telegdy in a press release. “We’re elated they wanted to host together again and that they committed for the next two years.”
“We are thrilled Amy and Tina have decided to return as hosts of the Golden Globe Awards for the next two years,” said HFPA president Theo Kingma. “Their return ensures that the Golden Globes will once again be the biggest, best and most entertaining awards celebration of the year.”
Fey and Poehler’s 2013 Golden Globes gig brought in 19.7 million viewers this past January which was a six-year high for the awards show. The two were warmly received thanks to their endless zingers, including one about previous host Ricky Gervais which appears to have been a prominition from Poehler. “When you run afoul of the Hollywood Foreign Press, they make you host the show two more times,” she said in January while hosting for her first time.
