In the glamorous realm of Hollywood awards shows, few moments have gotten etched in history, like the playful banter between Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and their constant target, George Clooney. Rewind to the 2014 Golden Globes, Fey and Poehler initially sent shockwaves with their razor-sharp wit aimed at the eternal bachelor Clooney.
However, later on, after George Clooney tied the knot with Amal Alamuddin and returned to the Golden Globes in 2015, he once again got aimed by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Although for the 2014 jab, Clooney took his harmless revenge on the duo; during the 72nd Golden Globe Awards, even the actor couldn’t help but laugh at Poehler and Fey’s sarcastic remark.
George Clooney Couldn’t Stop Laughing at Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s Remark
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have hosted the Golden Globes quite a number of times after initially starting in 2013. Throughout their repeated appearances, one thing that prevailed each time was their playful banter. Well, two out of four times, Fey and Poehler’s jabs were aimed at Hollywood A-lister George Clooney.
Often aiming for George Clooney‘s personal life or his dating pattern, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler simply stunned fans when the dynamic duo poked fun at Clooney’s marriage during the 2015 Golden Globes. Fresh from his wedding with accomplished lawyer Amal Alamuddin, as the duo graced the Golden Globes in 2015, Fey and Poehler aimed at the Gravity star yet again, via The News Park.
George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year. Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, an adviser to Kofi Annan on Syria, and was appointed to a three-person commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza strip. So tonight her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award. Hollywood. Fey quipped.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler once again managed to take a dig at George Clooney, following his newfound status as a married man. Not just that, but in their trademark style, Fey and Poehler teased Clooney with his wife Amal Clooney’s stunning achievements while he was getting a lifetime achievement award for simple acting onscreen.
Following Fey and Poehler’s seamless sarcasm, the audience erupted in laughter, but none louder than George Clooney himself. With his iconic charm and playful spirit, the actor was spotted chuckling through the presentation. Clooney couldn’t help but laugh at the good-natured ribbing from his comedic counterparts.
George Clooney Exacted Revenge on Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s 2014 Banter
Although the 2015 Golden Globes Award captured a blend of Hollywood satire and genuine admiration, wherein George Clooney was seen laughing alongside Amal Clooney, over Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s playful jab, his response was a bit different in 2014. According to reports from Yahoo, after Fey and Poehler cracked a joke about the actor’s love life, Clooney later exacted his revenge hilariously.
During Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s opening monologue at the 71st Golden Globes, they fired dual shots at George Clooney regarding his love life as well as his film Gravity, for which he was nominated. Taking a dig at his relationship status, without being aware of his budding romance with Amal Alamuddin, Fey and Poehler made the audience laugh.
It’s the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age.
However, although George Clooney was spotted laughing at their humorous comment, Mean Girls star Tina Fey admitted how the actor took his revenge on them, during an interview with SiriusXM. As it turns out, Clooney had purchased stationery with Matt Damon’s name on it and wrote a series of notes directed to the duo, explaining (in third person) that Clooney was hurt by their roast.
But hilariously Tina Fey was one step ahead of George Clooney, which is why she had apparently sent two giant fruit baskets to Matt Damon, one in case it was real, and another, in case it was all a prank, which it was.
