Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Was Left “Shocked” And “Upset” With Jerrod Carmichael’s Golden Globes Monologue

Jerrod Carmichael is set to host the 80th Golden Globe Awards in January.

Last week, comedian Jerrod Carmichael shocked audience members with his opening monologue for the 2023 Golden Globes. According to an insider, the president of the HFPA, Helen Hoehne, was “shocked” and “upset” with Carmichael’s monologue.

“The whole thing was so awkward and uncomfortable,” one insider said. Another added, “The show needs to be fun, and it didn’t feel fun.” Another simply said: “What did you expect?” 

In the monologue, he explained how he got to host the awards show, saying it was due to him being black. He also called out the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) for not having a Golden Globes last year because they came under fire for not having a single Black person on the board.

“I am your host, Jerrod Carmichael, and I’ll tell you why I’m here…I’m here ‘cause I’m Black,” the 35-year-old comedian said. “This show, the Golden Globe Awards, did not air last year because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association—which I won’t say they were a racist organization, but they didn’t have a single Black member until George Floyd died. So, do with that information what you will.” 

He went on to say that he was offered $500,000 to host the awards show and Hoehne wanted to meet with Carmichael to talk about the recent diverse initiatives the HFPA instituted in light of their controversy. The comedian called Hoehne’s meeting a “trap” and declined her invitation. Sources also say that Hoehne was “consoled” near the ballroom bar that night.

Hoehne wasn’t the only person upset with what Carmichael had to say. Whitney Houston’s estate, as well as many people on social media, were angered by the comedian’s Whitney Houston joke. Carmichael had said that the place where the awards ceremony took place, the Beverly Hilton Hotel, was the same place where Whitney Houston died in 2011. In response, Whitney’s sister-in-law, Pat Houston, said the joke was in “poor taste.”

Tyrese Is Beyond Will Smith Jokes Following Golden Globes Jabs: ‘Move on Already’

Tyrese Is Beyond Will Smith Jokes Following Golden Globes Jabs

Tyrese isn’t letting any jokes or commentary steer him away from his Will Smith support. A day after Smith was the butt of a Eddie Murphy joke at the Golden Globes, Tyrese hit Instagram to ask people to move on already.

Eddie Murphy attended the 2023 Golden Globes, where he received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his accomplishments in the cinema industry. Murphy provided three pieces of advice for aspiring entertainment business newcomers during his acceptance speech.

“Pay your taxes, mind your business,” Murphy said to the audience as they listened silently to the words of wisdom from the comedy legend. “And keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your f****g mouth,” Eddie Murphy said, recalling to the Oscars slap moment.

Additionally, host Jerrod Carmichael said that they had given Will Smith the “Best Portrayal Of Masculinity On Television” award earlier in the break.

“Just some quick housekeeping stuff,” Carmichael began. “While we were on commercial, we actually presented Will Smith with the Rock Hudson award for “Best Portrayal Of Masculinity On Television. So please give it up for Will Smith, you guys!”

Following the show, Tyrese shared an image of himself with Will Smith calling for an end of all the jokes.

“I’m still team WILL SMITH there’s nobody on this earth that will ever influence me to ever have a change of heart towards the BIGGEST INFLUENCE in my life,” Tyrese wrote. “I’m just saying man…. Move on already I just watched ‘EMANCIPATION’ for the 3rd time I just can’t believe how masterful this overall movie is.”

Do you agree with Tyrese that the slap jokes are tired? Sign off below and let us know.

Jerrod Carmichael Believes Dave Chappelle Tarnished His Legacy Over Opinions On Trans Community

jerrodfeature

In a new interview with GQ Hype, comedian Jerrod Carmichael voiced his support for the new generation of comedians, cancel culture, and Dave Chappelle, saying that the legendary comedian has “found a hill to die on.”

“I love this generation,” he said in the interview. “I actually fuck with them, and fuck all those comedians that are going so hard against them.” 

Carmichael also spoke about his recent stand-up special where he came out as gay and how following the announcement, the only person to reach out to him was his 15-year-old niece.

Carmichael then talked about “cancel culture” and a “boogeyman” that comedians create to sound “edgy” and sell more tickets.

“Who’s getting canceled for what they’ve said? What does that mean, that people are mad on Twitter? Everybody’s fine. These grown men are fine. I think, a lot of times, people who offer nothing truthful or meaningful about themselves then complain about society at large and create this boogeyman. It’s like, listen, that’s the most urgent thing in your life? God bless you. I’m tired of hearing it.”

Carmichael then turned his attention to Dave Chappelle, wondering why such a legend would tarnish his legacy over opinions about the trans community.

“Chappelle, do you know what comes up when you Google your name, bro? That’s the legacy? Your legacy is a bunch of opinions on trans sh*t? It’s an odd hill to die on. And it’s like, hey, bro. Who the f*ck are you? Who do you f*ck? What do you like to do? Childish jokes aside, who the f*ck are you? It’s just kind of played. But he’s choosing to die on the hill. So, alright, let him.”
