One of the most talked about moments from the 2024 Golden Globes was a joke from Jo Koy about Taylor Swift and how much attention she gets from the NFL media.

It is tradition for a comedian to deliver a monologue at the start of the Golden Globes and after struggling to make a booking, Koy was hired with 10 days to prepare.

Many of his jokes did not land and there was a very awkward atmosphere in the room throughout the night, and one of the jokes that did not impress was at the expense of Taylor Swift.

Swift is in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and it is fair to say that everyone knows when the singer is attending one of his matches.

Koy quipped, “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear.”

The camera panned to Swift and she did not laugh, glaring at the comedian as she took a sip from her drink.

Now, the hosts of ‘The View’ have decided that Swift did not need to react like that to Koy‘s joke and she should have at least cracked a smile.

“For the first time, stand-up comedian Jo Koy took on the hosting duties, and it was a rough room for him,” Whoopi Goldberg said before showing a clip of Koy bombing when he described “Barbie” as being about “a plastic doll with big boobies.”

“These gigs, these hosting gigs are brutal. They’re just brutal,” four-time Oscars host Goldberg said. “If you don’t know the room, if you’ve not been in these rooms before and you’re thrust out there, it’s hit or miss … I don’t know whether it was the room or the jokes, I didn’t get to see it, but I do know that [Jo is] as good as it gets when it comes to stand-ups.”

During his monologue, Koy told the crowd, “I got the gig 10 days ago. You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up … I wrote some of these, and they’re the ones you’re laughing at.”

Sara Haines felt that Koy was too harshly treated: “What bothers me more in watching this is, get a sense of humor, because we need to protect these national treasures called our comedians because life needs them,” Haines argued, adding, “No one feels sorry. Just smile.”
