Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg were this year’s hosts for the 76th Golden Globes on Sunday In an interview with PEOPLE, the “Killing Eve” actress and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star discussed their upcoming hosting duties, what viewers were to expect, and their responses when they were recruited for the job.
“My reaction was, ‘Is this a joke,’” said Oh, 47. “And then when it was not a joke, it was just this feeling of terror and thrill. There was no way I would do this without Andy. It’s really exciting.”
Sandra Oh made history at the 76th Golden Globe Awards as the first Korean-Canadian actress to be the first person of Asian descent to host the show. Together with Samberg, the duo was named co-hosts of the awards show in December after demonstrating their comedic chemistry at the 2018 Emmys.
At the Emmys, Oh and Sandberg presented the award for outstanding director in a comedy series. They mocked the 2017 Oscars’ La La Land–Moonlight mix up before presenting the trophy for outstanding directing for a comedy series.
“We’re excited to welcome Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg as co-hosts of Hollywood’s Party of the Year,” the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s President Meher Tatna said in a statement. “Both Golden Globe Award recipients have continually showcased their talents in film and television, and we can’t wait see what their undeniable chemistry will bring to the Golden Globes stage.”
