Seth Meyers Will be the Host of the 75th Golden Globes In 2018
The Golden Globes are the only award ceremony that celebrates film and television on the same night and through the years comedians like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Ricky Gervais and -most recently- Jimmy Fallon have been in charge of hosting this event.
Next year’s gala will be hosted by none other than Seth Meyers, host of NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers and SNL 12-year veteran, who is no stranger to hosting events like he proved back in 2014 with the Prime Time Emmy Awards.
The news was revealed in a tweet through the official Golden Globes account, alongside a written statement from the official website of the awards.
