Golden Globe winner Tina Fey (�30 Rock�) and Golden Globe nominee Amy Poehler (�Parks and Recreation�) have signed to host NBC�s exclusive coverage of �The 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards� that will be broadcast live coast-to-coast on Sunday, January 13 from 5-8 p.m. (PT) and 8-11 p.m. (ET) from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. The announcement was made today by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Dr. Aida Takla-O�Reilly, Dick Clark productions and NBC.
�Having both Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on board to host this year�s festivities is a major coup,� said Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment. �Tina and Amy have a proven chemistry and comedic timing from their many years together on 'SNL' to their successful co-starring roles in 'Baby Mama.'�
�The unparalleled comedic timing of Tina and Amy will surely have viewers wanting to tune-in to see them in action,� said Takla-O'Reilly. �The HFPA is thrilled to have the magnetic duo be a part of the show�s 70th anniversary!�
Last January, "The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards" delivered NBC�s highest 18-49 rating (a 5.0) and biggest overall audience (16.9 million) in the time period, excluding sports, since the prior year�s Golden Globes telecast. It was also the highest 18-49 and total-viewer figures for ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox in the time period, excluding sports, in more than 10 months, since the prior year�s Academy Awards on ABC. The telecast improved on NBC�s time-period average during the prior season by 138 percent in 18-49 rating (5.0 vs. 2.1, �live plus same day� non-sports) and 163 percent in total viewers (16.9 million vs. 6.4 million).
