Comedian Jo Koy, who hosted the 81st Golden Globes, faced mixed reactions to his opening monologue. One particular joke about Taylor Swift’s alleged relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce did not resonate well with the audience, both in the venue and those watching online. Swift herself maintained a composed expression while taking a sip of her drink, as the camera captured the moment. In response to the backlash, Koy clarified that his intention was to poke fun at the NFL rather than targeting the singer directly.
In a recent interview with GMA3, the comedian expressed his thoughts on a particular joke, stating that he believed it fell a bit flat. He described it as a peculiar joke, primarily aimed at the NFL, where he attempted to mock them by using cutaways, contrasting it with the Golden Globes’ approach. However, the intended message didn’t quite come across as intended.
During his opening monologue, Jo Koy humorously addressed Taylor Swift’s rumored relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce. Jo cleverly compared the coverage of the Golden Globes to a football double header, highlighting the disparity in camera shots of Taylor Swift. He playfully apologized for the abrupt transition, teasing that there was more to come.
After the joke was told, the camera focused on Taylor, who reacted by giving a piercing stare while delicately sipping her beverage.
