Amy Poehler & Tina Fey's Best Golden Globes Quotes, From Bill Cosby Jabs to Sony Hack Jokes
It was their final time hosting the Golden Globes, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made it known early on that they were letting their hair down on this one more than ever. "What are they gonna do?" Poehler said on the red carper multiple times. "Fire us?”
They started pushing buttons and having fun with it right from the start. Here are the best quotes from Poehler and Fey's last Golden Globes hosting gig.

There's No Globes Next Year
“We are so happy to be here to celebrate the 72nd and final Golden Globe Awards.”
It might as well end once they leave.
An immediate addressing of the Sony Hack
“Tonight we celebrate all the great television shows we know and love, as well as all the movies that North Korea was OK with.”
Sony Hack, Part 2
“We’ve got a lot of weird emails that can’t get out, you’ve gotta do this.”
The Sony hack was definitely a running theme throughout the night, especially during that Margaret Cho gag.
That Bill Cosby Call-Out
“In Into the Woods, Cinderella runs from her prince, Rapunzel is thrown from a tower for her prince, and Sleeping Beauty just thought she was getting coffee from Bill Cosby. I don’t know if you guys saw this on the news today, but Bill Cosby has finally spoken out about the allegations against him. Cosby admitted to a reporter, ‘I put the pills in the people. The people did not want the pills in them.’”
It is risque to say the least, to start off a show with a reference to alleged rapes. It could definitely be argued that they didn’t do it with the sensitivity they could have, but there’s no denying the power of having Cosby called out in such a major broadcast.
