Jan 11, 2016 7:41 PM UTC The [people](https://twitter.com/CloneNic/status/686399197659181056) [have](https://twitter.com/BrennyK23/status/686460969036324864) [spoken](https://twitter.com/kudya%5Fnot/status/686384308357967872), and they are ready for a new [Golden Globes](http://time.com/4171495/golden-globes-2016-winners/) host. Or at least, a different old host. Ricky Gervais, who returned after a three-year hiatus to host his fourth ceremony Sunday night, not only reverted to his old bag of tricks—lambasting Hollywood’s “disgusting, pill-popping, sexual deviant scum” and launching caustic insults at an [unlucky few](http://time.com/4173676/golden-globes-2016-ricky-gervais/)—he didn’t even do it to great effect. TIME’s TV critic Daniel D’Addario [summed it up](http://time.com/4174674/golden-globes-recap-ricky-gervais/) thusly: “It wasn’t offensive, which is what he wanted it to be. It was just a bore.” _Deadline_ [reported](http://deadline.com/2016/01/ricky-gervais-golden-globes-host-return-nbc-hfpa-1201680199/) that Gervais said, at an after-party, he’d already been asked back to host the Globes in 2017\. But as long as no contracts have been signed and no final decision made, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association would do well to consider these alternatives. **Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer**  Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence onstage at the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Jan. 10, 2016. HFPA/EPA The best-friendship that blossomed, in 2015, between comedy it-girl Schumer and Hollywood it-girl Lawrence, complete with [Jet Ski adventures](http://time.com/3978592/amy-schumer-jennifer-lawrence-jetski/) and [collaboration](http://time.com/4167451/jennifer-lawrence-amy-schumer-movie-adele-emma-stone/) on a screenplay, is as close as the HFPA could get to being in touch with pop culture. Not only are both women funny, but their close friendship allows them to [play off each other](http://time.com/4174599/golden-globes-2016-jennifer-lawrence-amy-schumer/) in a way that’s reminiscent of two much [beloved hosts](http://time.com/3660406/golden-globes-fey-poehler-best-jokes/) of Golden Globes past. **Eva Longoria and America Ferrera**  America Ferrera and Eva Longoria onstage during the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Jan.10, 2016. HFPA/EPA This bright idea struck during last night’s show, when Longoria and Ferrera, who headline the new NBC shows _Telenovela_ and _Superstore_, respectively, pulled off a lighthearted but [cutting bit](http://time.com/4174588/golden-globes-2016-eva-longoria-america-ferrera/) about Hollywood’s propensity to refer to Latina actresses as interchangeable. What more does a Golden Globes host require beyond an ability to upbraid Hollywood without alienating it? **The cast of the new** **_Ghostbusters_** **movie**  Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Kate Mckinnon in "Ghostbusters." Hopper Stone—Columbia Pictures Four hosts may be too many. And the collective star power of Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones may be too much for one stage. But just think about it. _Ghostbusters_ Director Paul Feig cast these actresses because they are among the funniest people in comedy and because he believed in their potential for blistering onscreen chemistry. If anything could restore the night to the boozy fun it once was, it’s this comedic dream team. **Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele**  Actors Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele speak onstage during the 67th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sep. 20, 2015. FOX Collection/Getty Images Despite the fact that they are collaborating on two [movies](http://time.com/3757817/key-peele-substitute-teacher-movie/) and a new [TV show](http://time.com/4070454/keegan-michael-key-jordan-peele-undercover-cop-comedy-fox/), the comedy duo has been sorely missed by fans since the fifth and final season of _Key and Peele_ aired in 2015\. Adding a hosting collaboration to their repertoire would not only be welcomed by their ever-expanding fanbase, but it would satisfy those who have enjoyed Gervais’ mockery of Hollywood but seek a fresh way of doing it. Tackling serious issues—from [police racism](http://time.com/3849007/key-peele-police-racism-negrotown/) to [education](http://time.com/3975777/key-peele-teaching-center-espn-sportscenter-comedy-central/)—with an approach that makes viewers simultaneously laugh and wince from the hard truths behind the laugh is one of Key and Peele’s greatest talents. **Jessica Williams**  Actress Jessica Williams of "People, Places, Things" poses for a portrait at the Village at the Lift Presented by McDonald's McCafe during the 2015 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on Jan. 26, 2015. Larry Busacca—Getty Images She may only be in her mid-twenties, but Williams is used to being the youngest in the room. She was the youngest correspondent on _The Daily Show_, a gig she nailed so well that many hoped she’d be in the running to replace Jon Stewart when he stepped down in 2015 (Williams herself [said](http://time.com/3712691/jessica-williams-daily-show-jon-stewart/) she felt underqualified to fill that seat). Between her comedy cred with the Upright Citizens Brigade, proving her chops as an actress on _Girls_ and the recent indie film _People Places Things_ and her satirical brand of political humor, Williams would be a welcome replacement for the old guard. **Tig Notaro**  Tig Notaro attends PETA's 35th anniversary party at Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Sep. 30, 2015. Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic Notaro might not share the widespread fame of other contenders, but the comedian’s star is on the rise, between her [viral 2012 stand-up](http://time.com/3960709/tig-notaro-netflix-documentary/) set, a recent [HBO special](http://time.com/4006339/tig-notaro-video-interview/) and a semi-autobiographical comedy she created for Amazon. Her deadpan, low-key sense of humor would be a change of pace for the Globes, but it might serve as a nice counterbalance to the frenetic energy brought by many of the night’s stars and nominees. She also penned a [list of reasons](http://time.com/3722846/tig-notaro-oscars-host/) why she should host the Oscars, which may have been a joke, but we’re more than down to take it seriously. **Amy Poehler and Tina Fey**  Tina Fey and Amy Poehler attend the "Sisters" New York premiere at Ziegfeld Theater in New York City on Dec. 8, 2015. Brad Barket—Getty Images They may be [done with](http://time.com/3662908/tina-fey-golden-globes/) the Golden Globes, but the Golden Globes doesn’t need to be done with them. Fey said last year that despite the fun they’d had, she and Poehler were ready to move on. But, as Gervais’ return last night proved, an ending can turn out to be nothing more than a brief hiatus. As James Poniewozik [described them](http://entertainment.time.com/2013/01/14/golden-girls-fey-and-poehler-make-hosting-the-globes-look-easy/) after their hosting gig in 2013, Poehler and Fey were “hilarious without overshadowing the show, pointed without being mean-spirited and surprising without trying too hard.” It’s a recipe which can only be repeated by its very creators themselves. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4175041/golden-globes-host-next-year/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4175041/golden-globes-host-next-year/"},"headline":"7 Suggestions for Who Should Host the Golden Globes Next Year","datePublished":"2016-01-11T19:41:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T05:00:37.850Z","description":"From Schumer and Lawrence to Key and Peele","url":"https://time.com/4175041/golden-globes-host-next-year/","keywords":["awards","golden globes"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7375563a71cebd39/6988787a428a9e071acd0e2b/amy-schumer-jennifer-lawrence-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7375563a71cebd39/6988787a428a9e071acd0e2b/amy-schumer-jennifer-lawrence-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Ceremony - 73rd Golden Globe Awards","caption":"Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence onstage at the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Jan. 10, 2016.","creditText":"HFPA/EPA","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/awards/","name":"awards"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4175041/golden-globes-host-next-year/","name":"7 Suggestions for Who Should Host the Golden Globes Next Year"}}]}] ```
