While hosting the Critics' Choice Awards on Sunday, Chelsea Handler threw a little jab at ex-boyfriend Jo Koy following widespread criticism of his hosting job at last week's Golden Globes.

Handler was delivering a bit about Harrison Ford and Robert De Niro being “total smoke shows" and added:

“Martin Scorsese isn’t here tonight, but that’s not going to stop me from letting everyone in this room know that I would toss him around like a little Italian meatball.”

The joke was met with audience laughter, to which the host responded:

“Thank you for laughing at that. My writers wrote it.”

This, of course, was a subtle dig at Koy, who blamed his ill-received jokes at the Golden Globes on his writers.

While opening the Golden Globes, Koy became frustrated with guests' reactions and told the audience:

“Yo, I got the gig 10 days ago."
“You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up. Slow down."
"I wrote some of these, and they’re the ones you’re laughing at.”

Those in attendance at the Critics' Choice Awards appreciated Handler's nod to her writers and the swipe at Koy, and her line was met with applause and laughter from the audience.

You can watch below.

And audience members weren't the only ones laughing.

The shade did not slide past viewers at home, either, and many took to social media to acknowledge the subtle roasting.














After his gig, Koy did acknowledge his mistake in throwing his writers under the bus and told The Los Angeles Times:

“That was a rookie move."
“Those writers are dope and that was not my intention at all. They were amazing, they had my back and I need to make sure I fix that and I will, I always will.”

Handler and Koy dated for nearly a year before breaking up in July of 2022.

At the time of their breakup, Koy told TMZ the two remained friends. We wonder if that's still the case after Sunday night.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
