The show's presenter joked that Bateman has "never really been my thing"
Poking a little fun at your podcast co-hosts at the Golden Globes… why not? During Sunday’s show, SmartLess co-hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett presented an award — and the trio went along with a joke after the show’s House of God joked that Bateman has “never really been my thing.”
Hayes and Arnett started with their presentation of the category, before Bateman interrupted: “Are we just going to pretend that didn’t just happen? The announcer said ‘Jason Bateman is not really my thing.’ Who says that?”
“Honestly, a lot of people say that,” Arnett responded. “Jason, you’re not everybody’s thing. That’s OK.”
“I think you’re great. I loved Ozark,” Hayes said.
“What was it about?” Bateman questioned.
“It was about 3 seasons too long,” Hayes joked. (Ozark ran for just four seasons on Netflix.)
The trio then presented the category of Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy and the award to Jean Smart, who won for her role in Hacks. Bateman joked, before presenting to Smart: “This person is about to like me!”
