Steve Martin understands the pressure of hosting an award show and is giving Jo Koy some grace after his stint at the Golden Globes.
The Only Murders in the Building star, took to social media to defend Koy amid the backlash over his hosting duties that included a mention of Taylor Swift that didn’t land well. “I tip my hat to anyone who steps out on stage to host a live awards show.
It’s a very difficult job and not for the squeamish,” Martin wrote on Threads. “I know because I’m still throwing up from the last time I did it in 2010.” Martin has hosted the Oscars three times, two times as the solo host and a third round with Alec Baldwin.
After all the criticism, Martin feels that Koy could use this experience for his stand-up. “So, Congratulations to Jo Koy, who took on the toughest gig in show business, hit, missed, was light on his feet, and now has twenty minutes of new material for his stand-up!” Martin added.
