Chelsea Handler Takes Swipe at Ex Jo Koy's Golden Globes Monologue at Critics Choice Awards

Handler's joke seen as a dig at Koy's controversial performance, where he blamed his writers for poorly received jokes.

Chelsea Handler, while hosting the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, took a jab at her ex-boyfriend Jo Koy's poorly received monologue at the Golden Globes.
Handler's joke, 'Thank you for laughing at that. My writers wrote it,' was seen as a reference to Koy blaming his writers for his jokes that didn't land well.
Koy's Golden Globes monologue, which included a joke about the film 'Barbie' and a dig at Taylor Swift, was met with backlash.
Koy later admitted in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that blaming his writers was a 'rookie move.'
Handler and Koy, who were friends for more than two decades, dated from 2021 to 2022.
