Megyn Kelly Attacks 2026 Golden Globes: Amy Poehler and Wanda Sykes Under Fire

"I'd rather put a bullet in my brain." Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly didn't hold back in a nearly 8-minute tirade against the 2026 Golden Globes, despite admitting she didn't even watch the broadcast. On her digital talk show, Kelly lambasted the event's winners and presenters, labeling the night as a display of "nonsense" and political posturing.

Megyn Kelly 2026 Golden Globes Tirade: Sykes and Poehler Targeted

Kelly's primary targets included Wanda Sykes and Amy Poehler. Kelly called Sykes "pathetic" and "racist" for a joke Sykes made about a "queer Black woman" doing the job of "two mediocre white guys." She also criticized Sykes' decision to dedicate an award to the trans community on behalf of Ricky Gervais, calling the gesture "disrespectful" and demanding Sykes be banned from future ceremonies.

The rant then shifted to Amy Poehler, whose podcast 'Good Hang' won the inaugural Best Podcast award. Kelly dismissed the win as Hollywood insiders rewarding their own. She mockingly questioned Poehler's "insightful" interviewing skills, citing a recent gaffe where Poehler incorrectly asked Gwyneth Paltrow about a role in the 2003 film 'Cold Mountain', a movie Paltrow was not in.

Allegations of Paid Influence and Behind-the-Scenes Tactics

According to Kelly, she was on the eligibility shortlist for the podcast category but withdrew her name after being asked to pay fees and participate in promotional "woo" sessions with Golden Globes members. She alleged that the process required nominees to perform interviews specifically to secure votes, a practice she vehemently rejected.
