Last night (January 11), legendary comedy actress Amy Poehler won the very first Golden Globes podcast award for her talk show, Good Hang. The audio program - which features Poehler's freestyle riffs with fellow comedians, friends and celebrities - beat out similar well-known podcasts such as Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy, Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, and The Mel Robbins Podcast, among others.
“I know that I am new to this game. I have great respect for this form,” Poehler said in receiving the Golden Globe. “I have great respect for everyone I am nominated with. I am big fans of all of you — except for NPR: just a bunch of celebs phoning it in. Try harder,” Poehler quipped. (Up First from NPR was one of the five nominees.)

Poehler added that her podcast is an attempt to make a “very rough and unkind world filled with a little bit more love and laughter, and laughing with people not at them.”
Poehler's win is also notable considering her ex husband, Will Arnett, was also in the running for the award. He is a co-host of the nominated podcast Smartless, alongside Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes.
In her acceptance speech, she thanked her producer Jenna Weiss-Berman, head of audio and podcasts for Poehler’s Paper Kite Productions, who co-founded Pineapple Street Studios (which parent company Audacy shut down last year), as well as Spotify and The Ringer’s Bill Simmons. Poehler also thanked her boyfriend, Joel Lovell, formerly executive editor at Pineapple Street, saying, “I love you, thank you for everything.”
The most popular episodes of Good Hang With Amy Poehler have featured fellow “Saturday Night Live” alums including Tina Fey, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Seth Meyers and Andy Samberg, as well as Aubrey Plaza (who was in “Parks and Recreation” with Poehler). Other guests have included Ariana Grande, Dakota Johnson, Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Selena Gomez, Michelle Obama, Gwyneth Paltrow, Quinta Brunson and Adam Scott. Poehler launched the podcast in March 2025.
Poehler is no stranger to the Golden Globes stage: She and Fey hosted the ceremony for a three-year run from 2013-15 and then again in 2021. In addition, Poehler won the Globes for actress in a television series musical or comedy in 2013 for her starring role in NBC’s Parks and Recreation.
