Sandra Oh, Andy Samberg open Golden Globes with the kindest roast you've ever heard
Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg, the self-described "nicest people in show business," opened the 76th annual Golden Globes on Sunday with a vicious, scorching roast of their peers. Er, well kind of.
Starting by singling out Do the Right Thing director Spike Lee, Samberg's "burn" was to quip: "[I'm a] lifetime fan, can't wait to see what you do next!" Oh landed a real zinger on Amy Adams, barking: "Save some for the rest of us, you mega-talented piece of dog crap!"
It was a case of it being so weird it worked. Watch Oh's extremely kind roast of Michael B. Jordan below. Jeva Lange
