Golden Globes 2019: Why milder hosts like Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh have replaced Ricky Gervais

Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg are hosting the 2019 Golden Globes and while they seem like an unlikely pair, their brand of comedy is something we are looking forward to enjoying
PUBLISHED JAN 1, 2019

The first award ceremony of 2019, the Golden Globes, is just around the corner and we are certainly are looking forward to see how it will set the precedent for the award season this year. The Golden Globes are more or less the pre-cursors for the Oscars and will give us an idea about what kind of movies will be recognized by the Academy each year. However, there is something else about the Golden Globes that has really caught our attention this time around – the hosts.

Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg are going to conduct the whole event and while they seem like an unlikely pair, their brand of comedy is something we are looking forward to enjoying. Samberg, with his stint at NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live,’ one part of the three-member band ‘Lonely Island’ and now, the lead of the hugely successful ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine,’ has proved his comedic prowess over the years.
