The "Barbie" star appeared to reference Koy's flat Golden Globes monologue while hosting Sunday night.
Simu Liu couldn’t resist poking fun at comedian Jo Koy’s disastrous Golden Globes monologue at the People’s Choice Awards on Sunday night.
The “Barbie” star kicked off his monologue by alluding to Koy’s flat reception at the show back in January.
“I’m Simu Liu and I’ll be your host this evening,” he said to raucous applause. “An Asian hosting a major awards show, what could possibly go wrong?”
Liu previously promised that the overall tone of the People’s Choice Awards would be “celebratory,” but he also said he was ready to bring the humor.
“It’s meant to feel positive,” the “Simulant” star said in an interview with Variety on Wednesday. “That isn’t to say that we’ll never make a joke that doesn’t make fun of someone. But we’re not really out there to take anyone down or to make the most offensive joke that we possibly can. It’s really about making people laugh.”
