Jerrod Carmichael will host the 2023 edition of the Golden Globe Awards.
Thursday, Carmichael was announced as the host of the ceremony, which is set for next month and notably marks a return to the broadcast arena following NBCās decision last year to not offer its services amid a multifaceted controversy. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), notably, had been the subject of a Los Angeles TimesreportĀ in 2021 in which it was revealed that (among other points of criticism) the group had zero Black members at the time.
In a statement shared with Complex, current HFPA president Helen Hoehne said the organization was āso excitedā about this pairing.
āHis comedic talents have entertained and thrilled audience while providing thought-provoking moments that are so important in the times we live,ā Hoehne said of Carmichael, whose deeply personal Rothaniel special won an Emmy earlier this year. āJerrod is the special kind of talent this show calls for to kick off the awards season.ā
