This is so exciting!
As much as we loved Ricky Gervais hosting last year’s Golden Globe Awards, we’re so incredibly stoked for this year’s show as NBC announced that Jimmy Fallon will host the 2017 award show!

On Tuesday, Bob Greenblatt made the announcement at the Television Critics Association summer press tour saying:
“We’re thrilled to announce Jimmy as host of ├óΓé¼╦£The 74th Annual Golden Globes. This is the most spontaneous and uninhibited award show on television, and Jimmy’s playful, disarming comedic brilliance makes him the ideal host to enhance and elevate the sense of fun and irreverence that’s made the Golden Globes one of the premier events of the entire broadcast year.”
In response to the announcement, Fallon took to Twitter to share his excitement — and take some shots at Donald Trump as he tweeted:
I’m so excited to be hosting The Golden Globes in January.

And I’m really looking forward to spending time with the Hollywood Foreign Press before Donald Trump has them all deported.

LOLz!
If this is any indication of Jimmy’s Globes jokes, we think we’re gonna love it!
