Comedian Jerrod Carmichael didn’t pull any punches with the Golden Globes as the Hollywood awards show made its TV comeback after a hiatus riddled with controversy. “I’ll tell you why I’m here. I’m here because I’m Black,” he said in his monologue.
A Times investigation finds that the nonprofit HFPA regularly issues substantial payments to its members in ways that some experts say could skirt IRS guidelines.“One minute you’re making mint tea at home, the next you’re invited to be the Black face for an embattled white organization,” he said to more laughter, as the audience warmed up to his jokes. “Life really comes at you fast.
“I’ll be totally honest with everyone here tonight. I [didn’t] really need to hear it,” he said. “I took this job assuming they hadn’t changed at all. I heard they got six new Black numbers. Congrats to them. Whatever.” He concluded his set by celebrating the “really incredible artists” and the evening dedicated to honoring their work.
“Regardless of whatever the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.'s past may be, this is an evening where we get to celebrate,” Carmichael said. “I think this industry deserves evenings like these. I’m happy all of you are here. I’m happy I’m here. “
