Comedian, Jerrod Carmichael, agreed to host the 80th Golden Globe Awards.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association and telecast producer Dick Clark Prods. will announce Carmichael.
“We’re so excited to have Jerrod Carmichael host the historic 80th Golden Globe Awards,” HFPA president Helen Hoehne stated.
“His comedic talents have entertained and thrilled audiences while providing thought-provoking moments that are so important in the times we live. Jerrod is the special kind of talent this show calls for to kick off the awards season.”
This is a homecoming for Carmichael. He starred in three seasons of the critically acclaimed sitcom ‘The Carmichael Show’ on NBC from 2015 to 2017. Recently, he hosted an episode of ‘Saturday Night Live’ (SNL) in April as a guest.
Carmichael was nominated for Emmys this year for his guest actor role in a comedy series category for his SNL hosting gig. His big win came at the Emmys for his scintillating performance in the comedy special ‘Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel,’ for which he earned the award for writing.
In ‘Rothaniel’, Carmichael revealed that he is gay, and shared the sometimes painful, sometimes humorous, reaction he received from family and friends about his personal truth.
Carmichael will star in the three-hour telecast on 10th January 2023.
“Jerrod is a phenomenal talent with a fresh perspective and excellent comedic style,” said exec producer Jesse Collins, CEO of Jesse Collins Entertainment. “We’re all thrilled to have him host this year’s show.”
The upcoming Globes also means that kudocast will return after a break for one year. This break was brought about by the controversy surrounding HFPA’s operations and lack of diversity in its membership ranks.
The HFPA has been trying to reform since then and had met with major studios and networks, informing them about some of the major changes it had made. The Globes entered a new one-year deal with NBC, “which allows the HFPA and DCP to explore new opportunities for domestic and global distribution across a variety of platforms in the future.”
