Well that got awkward quickly.
Golden Globes' hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler wasted little time Sunday night making jokes about the Bill Cosby rape allegations, quickly making everyone uncomfortable. The duo closed their 10-minute monologue by joking about Into the Woods, saying in the film, "Cinderella runs from her prince, Rapunzel is thrown from a tower and Sleeping Beauty just thought she was getting coffee with Bill Cosby."
There was a slight gasp from the audience, followed by murmurs and then laughter, groans and "ohs." They continued by claiming Cosby had admitted to drugging females and then argued over their impersonations of the comedian.
Clearly the joke was polarizing, considering the myriad of reactions on the celebrities faces -- at least Clooney loved it.

Fey has never shied from commenting, even subtly, about the Cosby rape rumors, making jokes during a "Weekend Update" segment during a 2005 Saturday Night Live episode and even in a 30 Rock episode from 2009.
This is the third, and final year, Fey and Poehler have hosted the Golden Globes, and clearly they aren't afraid of getting fired.
