#Watch Tina Fey & Amy Poehler’s Flawless Opening Monologues of Golden Globes Past

The 2021 awards season kicks off with the Golden Globes‘ bicoastal ceremony February 28 in both Los Angeles and New York City, and it will, once again (thanks Hollywood Foreign Press Association!) be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

This marks the fourth time they’ve hosted the Globes, the other times being in 2015, 2014, and 2013. Or, as Fey said in their second go-around in 2014, “This is Hollywood, and if something kind of works, they just keep doing it until everyone hates it.” Though they had said 2015 would be their last time in the hot seat, perhaps the fact that COVID is keeping everyone at their home bases was part of the allure.

Below, the complete opening monologues from their previous three ceremonies, plus some

2013: ‘You Can Smell the Pills From Here’

The 70th Golden Globe Awards honoring the best in film and television of 2012 was broadcast live on January 13 on NBC from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. They followed in the heels of 2012 host Ricky Gervais, who was panned for his politically incorrect monologue that also made jokes at the expense of the gathered celebs. (Unclear what was expected, as he had hosted two times before.) Or, as Fey put it, “Ricky Gervais could not be here tonight because he is no longer technically in show business.” Of course, Gervais returned for a fairly low-key (some thought too low-key) hosting gig in 2020.

2014: June Squibb Is Put at the Top of the Heap

The 71st Golden Globes, held January 11 on NBC, had a high-wattage list of celebrities even for an awards show (think: Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks), and the duo had a joke for almost each one of them.

2015: ‘We are so happy hosting … the 72nd and final Golden Globes Awards’

The duo had earlier announced that this would be their last time hosting the awards show, which saddened almost everyone. Every Meryl Streep, introducing Best Motion Picture Drama, first lamented the news: “I’m just going to say how much are we going to miss Amy and Tina?” Turns out, of course, no one needed to be that sad.
