criticism he received for his poorly received turn as the host of the 2024 Golden Globe Awards earlier this week.A day removed from the awards ceremony, Jo Koy appeared on Good Morning America (GMA) to speak of the gig, which he said he only secured less than two weeks ago.

When asked how he felt about the criticism he’s now faced, Koy replied: “I’d be lying if [I said] it doesn’t hurt. I hit a little moment there [during the monologue] where I was just like, ‘Ah.

Hosting is a tough gig.’ Yes, I am a stand-up comic, but that hosting position is a different style.”“It’s a tough room,” he said to GMA co-hosts Eva Pilgrim and DeMarco Morgan over a video call. “It was a hard job.

I’m not gonna lie. Getting that gig and then having the amount of time that we had to prepare, that was a crash course. I feel bad but I still gotta say that I love what I did.”Jo Koy also addressed the joke he made about Taylor Swift‘s frequent attendance at several NFL games to cheer on her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce.
