The Golden Globes, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter are all owned by Pennske Media so it’s now a closed circle: The magazines hype the awards and the awards show, and the awards show provides content for the magazines. Whatever anyone thinks about the awards outside of that is irrelevant. On

As I've said in other venues, any show that is relying on Farrell and Wiig to bring the funny is screwed to begin with. --Dave Sikula -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from

Same. But as someone I know who covers that industry told me yesterday, the GGs are only about PR and marketing. Most of those folks don’t really take it seriously. Martin Scorsese and Meryl Streep show up because they want their movies to be seen and enjoyed, which also makes them more money

Frankly, given what is now common knowledge about what a scam the Golden Globes are and the lack of character of the people who select them, I’m more than a little annoyed by people I generally respect who participated in the show again this week. Kevin M. (RPCV) On Tue, Jan 9, 2024 at 12:29 PM

I was out last night going to see Second City for the first time in years (pretty good show), so I didn't watch or record the Globes. Would I assume that they tried to lean heavily on the laugh track to try to cover up Koy's lack of crowd response? It's no secret that the awards shows sweeten

I do wish Koy had asked for and taken my advice; he would have been better off skipping this gig. I don’t think his set went over well. Not really his fault - they didn’t give him much time to prepare, and he did not have the status to really kid around with big stars. The audience looked like

We are big fans of Jo Koy, so he is not unheralded in our house. Have seen him live a few times, seen his act either on cable or streaming. A lot of his humor has to do with growing up with a Filipina mother; my wife was note in Manila and grew up in Hawaii, so she is dead center demo. I laugh

The relatively unheralded standup is fronting the Globescast on Jan. 7 on CBS, since the strategy of a relatively-unknown standup hosting worked so well last time (in case you forgot, Jarrod Carmichael tore the Hollywood Foreign Press Association a new one for their many years of improprieties
