Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will not shy away from difficult topics when hosting the upcoming 72nd annual Golden Globe Awards this coming weekend. "Oh, heck yes!" Fey exclaimed in an interview with Access Hollywood when asked if they would take a dig at Bill Cosby following his mounting sexual assault allegations.
Many stars have become the duo's punch lines. The likes of George Clooney, Anne Hathaway, and Taylor Swift fell victim to their snappy jokes in the past, but the two hosts are not afraid of running out of materials. "New movies, new things to talk about," the former "30 Rock" actress told Us Weekly.
Although no one is safe, they don't want to overdo it. "[We] have always said that the idea [is] that we don't want anyone attending to be scared to be there because of us," Fey explained to Access Hollywood. "It's a party and it's - in the grand scheme of the world - it couldn't be less important and I think that's what makes it fun."
Not much info is available since they don't write the jokes until days before the event. "One thing I will say about us is that we don't work hard," she joked. "We just wing it." She also said to Us Weekly, "[We're] easygoing and we are supportive of, 'What have you got? Okay, great. I'll do this then.' We work very well together in that way."
This year, the Golden Globe ceremony will air on Sunday, January 11 at 8 P.M. ET on NBC. It will become Fey and Poehler's last appearance as a host. Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Adams, Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson, Jennifer Aniston, and Matthew McConaughey are among the presenters.
