The Hollywood awards shows stage has been filled with numerous unforgettable moments. Still, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's tongue-in-cheek teasing and George Clooney's playful responses have shaped a unique chapter in the annals of Golden Globes history.
Fey-Poehler's Sharp-Witted Comedy Begun in 2014
The memorable comedy exchanges began at the 2014 Golden Globes, where Fey and Poehler hosted the event. They focused their keen wit on Hollywood superstar George Clooney. Highlights included playful comments about his famous bachelorhood and casual dating lifestyle.
Fast forward to the 2015 Golden Globes, George Clooney—who had since tied the knot with accomplished lawyer Amal Alamuddin—was once again the target of the dynamic duo, Fey and Poehler. Despite a good-natured revenge for their 2014 jokes, Clooney couldn't suppress his laughter at the pair's continued quips at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards.
Uproarious Dig at Clooney's 2015 Marriage
In 2015, Fey and Poehler displayed their comedic prowess by using Clooney's recent marriage to Amal as fodder for their humor. The talented hosts had the crowd in splits, applauding Amal's illustrious career while cheekily downplaying Clooney's lifetime achievement award as “just acting.”
Fey had the audience rolling with the quote, “Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, an adviser to Kofi Annan on Syria… So tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award. Hollywood.” The aim was clear: heralding Amal Clooney's impressive achievements while tweaking George Clooney's repute.
Clooney's Unreserved Enjoyment of the Jest
George Clooney, being the playful spirit that he is, met their jests with unreserved laughter. Amid the roaring amusement from the audience, the actor's laughter was unmistakably the loudest. His response to the teasing banter was as gracious and light-hearted as his Hollywood persona.
However, history remembers that the actor's reaction to Fey and Poehler's 2014 roast was a smidge different.
Clooney's Hilarious Revenge for 2014 Roast
Post the 2014 Golden Globes, reports surfaced of Clooney's humorous retaliation against Fey and Poehler's jabs about his love life. They had painted a picture of him preferring to float away into space and die rather than spend a minute more with a woman his age. This acted as the spark that lit Clooney's harmless revenge plot.
Using stationery with fellow actor Matt Damon's name, Clooney wrote letters to Fey and Poehler, framing Damon as hurt by their roast, which he found cheekily amusing.
Despite this twist in the tale, Fey remained one step ahead. She had sent two fruit baskets to Damon; one in case the notes were real, and a second acknowledging the joke, proving that she can dish out humor and take it in equal measure.
Summing up the Fey-Poehler-Clooney Antics and Absurdities
