Jimmy Fallon at the Golden Globes

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 1

Jimmy Fallon hosted the 2017 Golden Globes.

Did you watch the 2017 Golden Globes?

Well, I did, and I have to say it was pretty entertaining. From watching the awards given out, to hearing the impassioned speeches, to being introduced to new and cool shows and movies, it was fun to watch. And Jimmy Fallon, while we didn’t see him a lot, did hit the right note with hosting the awards show.

First, that “cold open” for the telecast was great. If you were/are a fan of the movie La La Land, you really appreciated it, but even if your weren’t, you probably enjoyed the many actors and actresses featured in the “open”, from Mr. Robots‘ Rami Malek to Arrivals‘ Amy Adams to the kids from Stranger things to Game of Thrones‘ Kit Harrington. Along with this, I really enjoyed the music, which comes directly from La La Land.

Also, the moment Jimmy and Justin Timberlake began dancing was hilarious.

And ironically, as Jimmy started his monologue, the prompter went down, bringing back memories of the technical difficulties Mariah Carey faced on  New Year’s Eve in December. The Golden Globes telecast is actually produced by the same company that produces New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Jimmy would later tease about “mariah calling him” in regards to his prompter issues.

I look forward to seeing what other opportunities come Jimmy Fallon’s way.
