00:00Yo, I got the gig 10 days ago. You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up.
00:05Joe Coy left the crowd and viewers at home pretty unamused after his stint as host of this year's
00:11Golden Globe Awards. The first time and relatively last minute Globes host struggled a bit during his
00:16performance, specifically during his opening monologue. Many of his jokes fell flat with
00:21the Globe's audience and even left a sour taste in some people's mouths.
00:24Big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera
00:31shots of Taylor Swift. I swear. There's just more to go to here. Viewers at home watching the telecast
00:37also found many of Coy's jokes dated and sexist. Oppenheimer is based on a 721-page Pulitzer Prize
00:46winning book about the Manhattan Project. And Barbie is on a plastic doll with big boobies.

00:56As a Filipino-American, this Joe Coy monologue is like watching a car crash. While NPR's Eric
01:02Deggans diplomatically wrote,
01:04Joe Coy is a great comic, but I'm not sure he's used to working a showbiz crowd hosting the Golden
01:09Globes. His monologue wasn't biting enough, but also was a little too biting in the same moment.
01:14Your last performance is going to be your greatest performance ever.
01:17Coy has released five comedy specials across Comedy Central and Netflix and recently wrapped
01:27his Funny is Funny World tour. For more on this year's Golden Globes, head to THR.com.
