<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/golden-globes-host-jo-koy-booed-during-monologue-blames-writers-for-bad-jokes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden Globes&#8217;</a> elite audience and social media users&#8217; responses to comedian Jim Gaffigan’s pedophile joke at the 2024 award show made it clear that everyone wants comedian Ricky Gervais back as the host.
During the 81st annual awards show on Sunday, the 57-year-old actor and comic got more cheers and applause for his jokes than the comedian picked to host the 2024 show, Jo Koy.
&#8220;This is so exciting for me,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/goldenglobes/status/1744188845065994385?s=20">Gaffigan</a> said as a presenter at the annual ceremony for first-ever Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television. &#8220;The Golden Globes – I can&#8217;t even believe I&#8217;m in the entertainment industry. I can&#8217;t.&#8221;
&#8220;You know, it&#8217;s so unlikely,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I&#8217;m from a small town in Indiana. I&#8217;m not a pedophile. I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s a new category here, but …&#8221;
The room of star Hollywood performers roared with laughter at the gag and gave the comedian a round of applause.

The comedian then <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/comedian-jim-gaffigan-torches-hollywood-at-golden-globes-with-pedophile-jab-in-wake-of-epstein-list-reveal?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=dlvr.it_x_theblaze">listed</a> off the the names of nominees for the award which included, Gervais, Chris Rock, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes, with the award going to Gervais for his successful Netflix special, &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-hope-netflix-has-pre-ordered-the-fainting-couches-ricky-gervais-comedy-special-hits-netflix-outrage-ensues" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ricky Gervais: Armageddon</a>.&#8221;
And over on X (formerly Twitter), the response to Gaffigan’s brief moment on the show was similar, with people posting clips of his bit along with clips of Gervais torching Hollywood four years earlier at the 2020 Golden Globes — all while <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/jo-koy-golden-globes-host-canceled-worst-jokes-memes-1858494" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panning</a> the current host, Koy.
&#8220;Is it me or is this becoming a trend?” one person wrote on social media comparing the two comedians&#8217; appearances. &#8220;Jim Gaffigan pulled a Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes. I&#8217;m here for it.&#8221;
Another added, &#8220;This is epic!  We got a [Ricky Gervais] moment at Pedowood&#8217;s 2024 Golden Globe.&#8221;
A third person included a side-by-side clip of Gaffigan&#8217;s appearance alongside <a href="https://twitter.com/Dknarfstudios/status/1744203687541543324/video/1">Gervais</a> —who torched Hollywood over its &#8220;pedophile movies&#8221; and cracked a joke about convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein while hosting the show in 2020.
&#8220;No one cares about movies anymore,&#8221; Gervais said at the time. &#8220;No one goes to cinema, no one really watches network TV. Everyone is watching Netflix &#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;You could binge-watch the entire first season of &#8216;Afterlife&#8217; instead of watching this show,&#8221; he added. &#8220;That&#8217;s a show about a man who wants to kill himself &#8217;cause his wife dies of cancer and it&#8217;s still more fun than this.&#8221;
&#8220;Spoiler alert, season two is on the way so in the end he obviously didn&#8217;t kill himself,&#8221; Gervais continued. &#8220;Just like Jeffrey Epstein. Shut up. I know he&#8217;s your friend, but I don&#8217;t care.&#8221;
