Jimmy Fallon set to host 2017 Golden Globe Awards

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Jimmy Fallon will be in charge of the 2017 Golden Globe Awards.

Fallon will host the three-hour ceremony that’s scheduled to air Jan. 8 on NBC, the network said Tuesday.

Fallon, host of NBC’s “Tonight Show,” has a playful humour that’s a good match for the “spontaneous and uninhibited” awards show, NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said.

Fallon takes over from last year’s host, Ricky Gervais, whose biting style of humour brought groans as well as laughs.
