Donald Trump was not in attendance at the Golden Globes, but he was there in spirit – or more precisely, as the target of a slew of political barbs.
Only a few seconds into his monologue, host Jimmy Fallon noted that the Globes was “one of the few places left where America still honors the popular vote.”
He was just getting started. Fallon went on to compare the president-elect to the evil King Joffrey in “Game of Thrones.”
“What would it be like if King Joffrey had lived?” Fallon asked. “Well, in 12 days we’re going to find out.”
Speaking of the film “Florence Foster Jenkins,” starring Meryl Streep as just about the worst opera singer in the world, Fallon opined: “Even she turned down performing at Trump’s inauguration.”
