Golden Globe Awards Tap Fallon to Host


Bella Breakdown

Jimmy Fallon, the host of the Tonight Show, will now host the 2017 Golden Globe Awards for the first time. Fallon will host the three-hour ceremony that’s scheduled to air on NBC on January 8th. Fallon was tapped because he has a playful humor that’s a good match for the “spontaneous and uninhibited” awards show, which airs live.

Fallon will take over from last year’s host, Ricky Gervais. Gervais’s biting style of humor brought groans as well as laughs, which might explain why he was not asked back after only hosting once. Other favorite hosts were Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
