Handler took the stage to host the Critics Choice Award and addressed her ex's blunders in her opening monologue.

Chelsea Handler defended mocking her ex-boyfriend Jo Koy ’s controversial hosting gig at the 81st Golden Globes last year. The Filipino-American comedian faced significant backlash after his opening monologue was widely criticized as “awkward,” “distasteful,” and “unfunny.”

Golden Globes viewers absolutely loved host Nikki Glaser's monologue and claimed she 'killed it" after Jo Koy's flop last year.

Nikki Glaser doesn’t plan to blow her golden opportunity. On Sunday, Glaser will host the 82nd Golden Globes. She plans for the gig to be more like her breakout Tom Brady roast performance and less like Jo Koy’s 2024 turn as Golden Globes host.
