“I’m here because I’m black,” Carmichael bluntly launched into a monologue.
The 35-year-old funnyman opened the NBC broadcast Tuesday by casually taking a seat on the stage to “catch the room up” on the award show’s controversy.
“I’m here because I’m black,” Carmichael bluntly launched into a monologue touching on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s“This show, the Golden Globe Awards, did not air last year because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which I won’t say they were a racist organization, but they didn’t have a single black member until George Floyd died,” he explained. “So do with that information what you will.
The former “Carmichael Show” star added that he was at home drinking tea when he got a call from a producer to host the show.“One minute you’re making mint tea at home, the next, you’re invited to be the black face of an embattled white organization,” he joked to a weary audience.NBC abruptly pulled the plug on airing the awards last year, citing the need for “meaningful reform” by the embattled HFPA.
“We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform. However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right,” the network said in a statement at the time, “As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.
