Just hours before violent winds fueled the flames that destroyed neighborhoods and homes, including those of many Hollywood celebrities, the city hosted the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, with comedian Nikki Glaser as the host. A clip from the ceremony has gone viral, in which Glaser delivers a joke midway through the event. After sharing a tally of mentions during the early acceptance speeches, she pointed out that "God, the creator of the universe" had received zero mentions, while Mario Lopez received one. The celebrity audience erupted in laughter, and Glaser followed up with, "No surprise in this godless town." Why is this clip going viral in the wake of the tragic fires? What connections are people drawing between the joke and the fire, and what does it reveal about the broader national perception of Hollywood? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #277.
