Host Jimmy Fallon enjoyed a bumpy start to his Golden Globes tenure, as the teleprompter went down before the show had even begun.
That technical issue aside, how has the television presenter fared as Golden Globes host so far? The early reviews are in.
Washington Post columnist Alyssa Rosenberg said Jimmy should be “kept away” from political humour after he made a Donald Trump joke.
That popular vote joke is good evidence for why Jimmy Fallon should be kept as far from political humor as is at all possible. #GoldenGlobes

The Hollywood Reporter’s TV critic enjoyed the opening montage but the early technical issues even more.
I liked that Jimmy Fallon pre-taped bit except for the part with the movie I haven’t seen. But I like the broken teleprompter better…

I think Jimmy Fallon needs help. #GoldenGlobes

So from the critics, he didn’t fare so well. But what did the fans think?
Jimmy Fallon's #GoldenGlobes monologue was so terrible that his NBC tonight show gig has just been taken over by Megyn Kelly from Fox News.

Are we at the point of the show where we can all agree that Jimmy Fallon is objectively a terrible host? #GoldenGlobes

Wish I could love something as much as Jimmy Fallon loves the concept of the novelty of his "bromance" with Justin Timberlake. #goldenglobes

He fared a bit better among the normal fans but still hasn’t reached Ricky Gervais heights.
