Comedic actress Tina Fey had reportedly mentioned that there would be some Bill Cosby jokes in her opening monologue as co-host of Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards with fellow comedic actress and co-host Amy Poehler. The pair didn’t hold back and unashamedly delivered their Cosby quips.

Here are the details…

The co-hosts of this year’s Golden Globe Awards, Saturday Night Live alums Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, decided to tackle a controversial topic during their opening monologue: the Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations. The bit began with a description of a new movie, Into The Woods, where the pair make fun of actress Meryl Streep’s attempt to garner yet another Golden Globe award with her performance. The description took an unexpected turn when Poehler quipped, “Cinderella runs from her prince, Rapunzel is thrown from a tower for her prince, and Sleeping Beauty just thought she was getting coffee with Bill Cosby.”

Immediately, the crowd’s reaction was mixed: shocked mouth drops, uncomfortable laughter, and blank stares were plastered on the faces of numerous Hollywood stars. Fey launched into her impression of Cosby’s “response” to the old and new sexual assault allegations against him: “I put the pills in the people! People did not want the pills in them!” Poehler countered with her own impression of the legendary actor and comedian: “I got the pills in my bathrobe and I put ’em in the people!”

Fey’s and Poehler’s jokes also included stabs at numerous other stars present and not present at the ceremony. Overall, their banter was entertaining but it appeared that some of the celebrities were having a little trouble digesting the inclusion of the Cosby allegations. What do you think? Do you think they went too far in their monologue of jokes? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
