Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Returning to Host Golden Globes in 2015

This is great news and should be a surprise to no one. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are arguably at the top of comedy right now with as many great projects their involved in/responsible for and it would be almost dumb for The Golden Globes to not have them back.

In fact, Tina and Amy to the The Golden Globes might just have become like Billy Crystal used to be to The Oscars.

Amy Poehler To Be Fallon’s Last Guest, Meyers’ First Guest on “Late Night”

Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling and Bill Hader Among Voice Cast for Latest Pixar Movie “Inside Out”

Not only does a Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, Bill Hader, and Mindy Kaling voiced Pixar movie sound delightful, but the premise for Pete Docter’s “Inside Out” might make for a wonderful, funny combination.
