J. Robert Oppenheimer may have been the father of The Bomb. But Golden Globes host Jo Koy is its red-faced mommy, because he conceived a complete nuclear disaster on stage last night. The truth is that the sparkle at last night's Rusty Globes was nowhere to be discovered. As Comedic pro Jim Gaffigan stepped up to announce the ceremony's first-ever award for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television, the irony train came full circle. Gaffigan did what Koy was unable to do in 30 seconds in 30 seconds: he was funny. Despite being grateful for the invitation, Gaffigan joked about being thankful for the invitation, despite the fact that he isn't a pedophile - a hysterical gut punch to the celebs in the newest Jeffrey Epstein naming contest. They haven't been exposed since... well, Harvey Weinstein.

Ricky Gervais (left, presenting the Golden Globes in 2020) has made history by winning the first Golden Globe in the new category Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television. The British comedian, 62, previously denied he had no chance of winning, but he beat Trevor Noah (Where Was I); Shannon Sparkman (Emergency Contact); and Wanda Sykes (I'm An Entertainer). On Sunday night, he did not attend the Beverly Hills memorial service, with comedian Jim Gaffigan accepting the award for Ricky's Netflix special Armageddon on his behalf. Although Ricky is no stranger to a Hollywood honor and has previously received three Golden Globes for his work on The Office and Extras, his most recent win over the weekend had no doubt raised eyebrows among his fellow celebrities. Not only has the comedy enraged several people by branding Hollywood 'disgusting, pill-popping, sexually deviant scum, but he has come under fire for his Armageddon special (right), in which he cracks jokes about terminally ill children.
