Fey and Poehler have a long history together. They worked together on "Saturday Night Live" and in the 2008 film "Baby Mama."

Fey has won two Golden Globes for her performance on "30 Rock."

Ricky Gervais hosted the previous three Globes telecasts, courting controversy with his snarky remarks directed at celebrities.
