The comedian is responding to criticism of his hosting performance at this year’s Golden Globes.
In an interview on GMA3 he said, “I had fun. You know, it was a moment that I’ll always remember.”
He also said, “It’s a tough room. It was a hard job, I’m not going to lie… I’d be lying if [I said] it doesn’t hurt. I hit a moment there where I was like, ‘Ah.’ Hosting is just a tough gig. Yes, I’m a stand-up comic but that hosting position it’s a different style. I kind of went in and did the writer’s thing. We had 10 days to write this monologue. It was a crash course. I feel bad, but I got to still say I loved what I did.”
When asked about the joke he made about Taylor Swift and how the Golden Globes would feature fewer shots of her compared to NFL games, he said, “I think it was when the Taylor [Swift] one was just a little flat…It was a weird joke, I guess. It was more on the NFL…I was trying to make fun of the NFL using cutaways and how the Globes didn’t have to do that. So it was more of a jab toward the NFL. But it just didn’t come out that way.”
So will he try hosting another awards show in the future? He didn’t sound too excited about the proposition saying, “That’s a tough gig, I’m not going to lie. I love the art of standup. It was cool the opportunity came to me, but hosting is just a beast. That’s about it.”·
