TV Hosts - IamGuruJay

This year the red carpet was rolled out for the Hollywood stars at the Golden Globes for the 80^th time. #LARain was trending on Twitter which meant the weather was stormy. But the dark clouds dissipated, and everyone had a good time. As the countdown began, we saw star after star shine while they were being interviewed by Laverne Cox and her sidekick Loni Love. It was an arrival like no other. It was what we’ve been waiting for. Of course, we had a little bit of controversy. Comedian Jarrod Carmichael hosted the live show and the first thing out his mouth was “I’m only the host because I’m Black.” I couldn’t chuckle at everything he mentioned. But, in truth I watched the Golden Globes to celebrate and acknowledge the film and television actors who made 2022 worth its weight in gold. @IamGuruJay I liked, tweeted, and retweeted until I felt I spread enough of my share of peace and love. To start the show, Jennifer Hudson presented the Best Supporting Actor and Actress Golden Globe Award. As you may know by now, Ke Huy Quan won the first award of the night for his portrayal in All at Once Movie. Plus, you may know Angela Bassett won for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

And so, the night started off with two well-deserved wins. Perhaps Jennifer Coolidge stole the show with her win for White Lotus. Also, Austin Butler, who hosted Saturday Night Live, won for his performance in Elvis. But you didn’t come to my blog for a list of winners. You can get that anywhere. You came here for my spin on things. I’ll give you what you want. The stars owned the night. Despite all that’s going on in the world, this was a time for peace and love. Despite the controversy Hollywood united. We need a new party called Unity. It is interesting what a day makes. From the red carpet to the live show, the 2023 Golden Globes was special. I’m thankful for another day on God’s green earth. Although I didn’t win a Golden Globe, you’re my gold. Peace and Love!

It’s never too early or too late to start doing standup comedy. Fans expect comics to come on stage and tell hilarious stories. Who tells wilder and crazier stories than Russell Brand?

Although he’s a fun and playful celebrity, there is also a serious side to the man. Russell Brand is waging war against income inequality. As an activist, he is outspoken about wage slavery.

Taking a stance against powerful corporations is extremely risky. Then again, Russell Brand doesn’t mind losing out. And that’s why he’s a winner.

Russell raises eyebrows and drops jaws, because he’ll say what he feels like saying. He isn’t filtering his word choices like most celebrities. While many celebs commonly erase their Tweets, Brand hardly hits the delete button.

An authentic comedian won’t apologize for anything or to anyone. Russell Brand is a celeb with balls. He wears his hair long. He dons a full beard. This is symbolic to how Russell lives his life- to the fullest.

People are fond of him because he’s hosted TV shows, acted in movies, and performed on stage. You should consider watching Get Him to the Greek.

Russell Brand can make you comfortable and uncomfortable in a matter of minutes. He regularly challenges the status quo. What great comedian is politically correct? It’s the comic’s duty to get under people’s skin.

I admire Brand’s style and delivery. He doesn’t give it to you all at once. Joke by joke, sketch by sketch, the great Brit takes spectators on a trip.

You see Russell Brand thrives on controversy. That’s why he means everything to the comedy world. He is someone who bridges gaps.

His intellect allows him to relate to a range of mentalities. You know it is important to widen your scope. I look forward to the comedic actor’s movies because of his uniqueness.

You won’t find a wilder and crazier jokester.
