Seems things are looking for up next year’s Golden Globes, with the announcement that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are set to host the glitzy ceremony. Something to look forward to for January, then!
The NBC funnywomen and “SNL” alums are good friends, and according to the LA Times, both are pretty familiar with the way things go at the Globes, due to their respective TV shows — Fey with 30 Rock (being the creator and star), which is sadly coming to an end this season, and Poehler who stars in Parks and Recreation. So, they should do just fine, then — but do you think they’ll draw in more viewers than Ricky Gervais? He hosted the 2012 awards with 16.9 million viewers.
Paul Telegdy, president of alternative and late night programming, NBC Entertainment expressed his excitement over the new hosts: “Having both Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on board to host this year’s festivities is a major coup. Tina and Amy have a proven chemistry and comedic timing from their many years together on ‘SNL’ to their successful co-starring roles in Baby Mama.”
And you’ll be able to watch the 70th annual Golden Globes ceremony on January 13. Excited yet?
People: Amy Poehler, Tina Fey
Bronwen Winter Phoenix is a 26-year-old three-time published fiction author and freelance journalist currently residing in the UK.
A highly-devoted supporter of the Root Vegetable Rights Campaign (1976 – present), she is therefore one of those evil meat-eater types. Of course, she’s not adverse to a good parsnip or two, as long as they’ve been treated right.
Not having a clue what she’s currently doing in life, Bronwen has vowed to abandon all her woes in the deepest and darkest Amazonian jungle she can find, in a loin cloth, if things go inherently wrong for her. Also, having received various offers from men promising to take her to Easter Island, she still hasn’t been yet. Still a sore point, and she is still open to offers.
Under the alias of Capt. Feral Phoenix, Bronwen started up her own online magazine called ‘Feral Army’ where she freely employed a bunch of writers she called ‘ferals’ to write for her. Bronwen herself managed to interview many celebrities and write about things such as Carl Jung and horror writing before Feral Army finally closed its doors in early 2011. It had a good run, but it needed the funding rather badly.
Her publisher at Cauliay Publishing once stated that if there was an X-Factor for writers, she would be the winner. Little does he know that if there was an X-Factor for writers, she would probably kill herself. You can read more of Bronwen at her site:
