Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are teaming up for the Golden Globes.

    The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Dick Clark Productions and NBC announced on Monday that the pair of “30 Rock” and “Parks and Recreation” stars have signed on to host the 70th annual Golden Globes ceremony after British comedian Ricky Gervais’ three-year reign* as the show’s acerbic* emcee*.

    “The unparalleled* comedic timing of Tina and Amy will surely have viewers wanting to tune in to see them in action,” said Takla-O’Reilly, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which honors film and TV at the Beverly Hills Hilton ceremony. “The HFPA is thrilled* to have the magnetic duo be a part of the show’s 70th anniversary!”

    The comedian duo previously starred together in the films “Mean Girls” and “Baby Mama” and on “Saturday Night Live.” They co-hosted the NBC sketch comedy series’ “Weekend Update” segment from 2004 to 2006.

    “Having both Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on board to host this year’s festivities is a major coup,” said Paul Telegdy, president of alternative and late night programing at NBC.

    Poehler’s “Parks and Recreation” is currently in its fifth season on NBC, while Fey’s “30 Rock” is airing its seventh and final season on the network.(SD-Agencies)
