Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to Co-Host the Golden Globes
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler plan to host the 78th Golden Globe Awards from different coasts.
With COVID-19 restrictions, the 78th Golden Globe Awards have been much different from the previous 77 shows. Back in 2015, the duo hosted the ceremony. However, this time around the two won’t even be in the same room. This will be the first time in Global Globe history where it will be broadcasted from multiples locations.

Fey will be located on the East Coast in New York City atop the Rockefeller Center in The Rainbow Room, while Poehler will be placed on the West Coast in Beverly Hills, California where the awards usually take place. Last year’s host was Ricky Gervais and the viewer count was record-breaking with 19.2 million viewers.
