Jo Koy's last-minute hosting gig

Koy, born Joseph Glenn Herbert Sr, shared insights into the challenges of hosting the Golden Globes. With only two weeks' notice, he found himself scrambling to craft jokes and assemble a writing team.

"When they asked me, it was an immediate yes. I couldn’t believe this was happening – and then I woke up and went, ‘Wait a minute, I have two weeks to write jokes! Actually, I think I had less than two weeks because I didn’t get my writers until five days later,” he told Variety.

Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce

Taylor Swift's frequent appearances at Kansas City Chiefs NFL games, where her boyfriend Travis Kelce plays, have been a subject of attention throughout the football season. The NFL faced criticism for consistently featuring Swift in their coverage, prompting a response explaining their focus on the "pop cultural moment" of Swift and Kelce's relationship.

The NFL said in a statement, “We frequently change our bios and profile imagery based on what’s happening in and around our games, as well as culturally. “The Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce news has been a pop cultural moment we’ve leaned into in real-time, as it’s an intersection of sport and entertainment, and we’ve seen an incredible amount of positivity around the sport.”
