Even though Chelsea Handler is aware of the challenges of hosting an awards show—the most thrilling and risky job for a comedian in Hollywood—she yet felt free to poke fun at Golden Globes host Jo Koy, who is also a fellow comedian and her ex-boyfriend.

The 48-year-old comedian made fun hits at various celebs during her introductory monologue, including her ex Jo Koy who wasn’t in attendance. Jo Koy was the target of one of Chelsea's jokes when it seemed like she was making fun of him for criticizing his writers the weekend when he hosted the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.


Chelsea Handler's joke on Jo Koy

Handler seemed to be recycling a joke from Koy's Golden Globe monologue for which he was criticized but she started it a subtle way. Referring to Harrison Ford and Robert De Niro, Hndler said, "I don't know which one of you is hotter, you guys are total smoke shows. Unfortunately, Martin Scorsese isn't here tonight, but that's not going to stop me from letting everyone in this room know that I would toss him around like a little Italian meatball."
