Read Jerrod Carmichael's Full Monologue From the Golden Globe Awardsor all of its controversy—racial, financial, ethical, and more—the Hollywood Foreign Press Association made one smart recent decision: to hire Jerrod Carmichael as the host of the 80th Annual Golden Globes on Tuesday night. Carmichael—a comedian, actor, writer, and filmmaker—is perhaps best known for last year’s stand-up special on HBO,.
I was like, ‘Whoa.’ One minute, you’re making mint tea at home, the next you’re invited to be the Black face of an embattled white organization. Life really comes at you fast, you know? So I said, ‘Stephen, I’m torn. I’ll be honest with you: I’m a little torn because—one, it’s a great opportunity; thank you for the call. But I’m only being asked to host this, I know, because I’m Black.’
So I did what I do when I have a moral-racial dilemma: I called the homegirl, Avery. Who, for the sake of this monologue, represents every Black person in America. And I said to Avery, I said, ‘Avery, they asked me to host the Golden Globes.’ And I said, ‘What should I do?’ And I called Stephen back and I said, ‘I’m happy to do this.’ And I was really proud of that decision. Until I got an email from my publicist saying that Helen, the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, wanted to have a one-on-one sitdown with me. And I said, ‘No thanks. I know a trap when I hear a trap.’
