5 Golden Globes Duos Who Could Take Over Tina and Amy's Hosting Duties Next Year

Sadly, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have already announced they will not return to host a third Golden Globes ceremony. (Maybe that’s why they intro’ed Sunday’s show as “the 72^nd and final Golden Globe Awards.”) That leaves a giant pair of giant shoes to fill, so why not look at a few duos from this year’s telecast as prospective replacements? Here are five who might be worthy.

Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader

Their bit honoring the contributions of screenwriters was one of this year’s high points; it felt loose and silly, just the way the historically drunken Globes should be. Bring them back for the whole show: Pairing old SNL compatriots has worked well for the past three years, so why stop now?

Paul Rudd and Jeff Goldbum

They didn’t present together – they were just briefly seen sitting next to each other in the audience. And apparently this writer wasn’t the only one whose immediate reaction was, “That’s the table I’d like to be sitting that.” Goldblum’s quirky delivery with Rudd’s goofball charm feels like it would be great for the show — though we would also settle for a buddy comedy.

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt

We saw a lot of forced and awkward chemistry tonight (we’re looking at you, Cumberbatch and Aniston). That was most definitely not the case with this married couple, whose quick bit about being a “mixed marriage” (she’s CBS, he’s NBC, but they plan to raise their children HBO) got loads of laughs. (“Take your own helicopter home,” sniffed Pratt in a great closer to the bit.) They might currently be Hollywood’s cutest, funniest couple.

Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda

It was a good-ol’ fashioned 9 to 5 reunion when these two took to the stage to present together (but where was Dolly?). And it felt just like old times, with Fonda accusing Tomlin of being high… Okay, so they’ve gotten a little more brazen with age. Exactly the reason why we want more of them! And if an endorsement from Tegan and Sara doesn’t sell them, we don’t know what will.

Kevin Hart and Louis C.K.

Okay, so we didn’t see any of their chemistry on stage at the ceremony, but L.A. Times reporter Amy Kaufman tweeted that she observed nominee C.K. give The Wedding Ringer presenter a hug during a commercial break, telling him, “You’re f**king kicking ass, just fiercely talented.” They’re two of the hottest comics around right now, and there’s clearly mutual respect. Why not put them together?

And if the HFPA decide they only want to pay for one host? Okay, then we’ll happily take Margaret Cho in character playing North Korean army general Chow-yun Ja, as promised/threatened at the end of tonight’s telecast.
