Golden Globes performance last week (January 7).Koy has faced criticism following his “difficult” hosting performance at the Golden Globes after a number of his jokes fell flat with both the A-list stars at the event and viewers watching at home.Taking to the stage for the first time after his hosting duties, the comedian received a “thunderous applause of support and a standing ovation,” according to Variety.“Holy shit, right?,” Koy reportedly said of the applause. “This big hug that you gave me is all I need, swear to god.

Fucking whirlwind, goddamn.”Alluding to his Golden Globes hosting and the subsequent fallout, Koy said (as per Variety):  “…I just come from a different time.

I see the changes that are happening. I get it, but goddamn, can we fucking laugh at ourselves?”He continued: “I got a feeling none of you…watched it, and I’m kinda happy.

Oh my god. It feels good to live in this country. We get to say what we want to say. Don’t be apologetic about it at all. Be able to…speak your mind.”After seemingly enjoying the stand up gig, he later added: “Oh God, this is fun…I haven’t laughed in four days.
