Golden Globes co-host and human meme factory Andy Samberg appeared on The Late Show With Seth Meyers this week, and he shared with Seth some of the jokes that didn’t make the cut when he hosted the show with Sandra Oh last weekend.
You really should watch the video so you can appreciate his delivery, but if you can’t, these are some of the highlights:
- “Around 1,300 people attended the Golden Globes this year … and only one will leave.”
- “Crazy Rich Asians is up for two awards, and Crazy Rich White People are up for the remaining 200.”
- “Roma is such an emotional experience. When it was over I literally sat there and cried for a full 5 seconds before Netflix started blasting a new movie where Kurt Russell plays Santa Claus.”
- “Green Book nominated, which is of course a poignant biopic about Dr Seuss struggling to finish the title of ‘Green Eggs and Ham’.”
- “BlacKkKlansman was nominated, and judging by the upper- and lowercase lettering in the title, is also a Wi–Fi password.” (Samberg gives John Mulaney the credit for this one, and follows it up with a near-perfect impression)
- “The Good Place is nominated. It’s a philosophical afterlife comedy that asks complicated questions like, ‘Can Ted Danson still get it?’ Not that complicated, the answer is yes.”
- “The Americans is nominated tonight for Best Drama, Lead Actor, Lead Actress, and ‘Most People Getting Boned In Front Of Portraits Of Ronald Reagan.”
- “Netflix beat out Amazon tonight as the most-nominated streaming service, while the best ‘streaming’ scene was Bradley Cooper wetting himself in A Star Is Born.” (Apparently Meyers wrote that one and sent it to him five minutes before the show)
- “If Beale Street Could Talk, I think it would say, ‘Ouch, stop driving on me!’”
They also helpfully combined Boy Erased, Ben Is Back and Beautiful Boy into one mega-movie, for those of us who haven’t seen them all:
The best part of this, aside from the jokes that are so bad they circle back around to being funny, is Andy laughing all the way through his delivery.
Samberg and Meyers also talked about the return of Brooklyn Nine Nine, and the rescuing of it by NBC, with some help from Meyers and other stars who tweeted in support of the show when Fox announced its cancellation.
If you haven’t seen the first episode of the latest season of B99, you can watch it on SBS On Demand. It’s toite.
