Los Angeles, Nov 24: Seth Meyers will host the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced earlier this week.
The “Late Night” host will join the likes of Ricky Gervais, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon, who have all hosted the awards show honoring the best in film and television.
“With his natural comedic wit and innate ability to charm audiences, Seth will help us carry on the celebratory tradition of recognizing the best in television and film at the Party of the Year,” HFPA president Meher Tatna said in a statement.
Fallon hosted the Golden Globes to mixed reviews last year, though ratings were up 8 percent from 2016 with 20 million viewers tuning into the show.
Over the past year, Meyers has won praise as the host of “Late Night” for his searing political commentaries and constant mockery of President Donald Trump. Earlier this week, he blasted Trump for being a “thug and wanna-be dictator.” He further criticized the president for picking a fight with LaVar Ball, the outspoken father of one of the three UCLA basketball players detained in China on shoplifting charges.
HFPA will announce 2017 Golden Globe nominees on Dec. 11. The awards show will air on Jan. 7, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. EST on NBC. PTI
