Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell Cause Matt Damon to Cry with Laughter During Their Golden Globes Skit

Wiig and Ferrell performed an amusing dance while they presented Paul Giamatti with a Golden Globe at Sunday's awards ceremony

Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell brought impeccable comedic timing to the 2024 Golden Globe Awards — and it seems Matt Damon approved!

Wiig, 50, and Ferrell, 56, appeared at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday night to present the award for best male actor in a motion picture - musical or comedy to Paul Giamatti for his performance in The Holdovers. Before presenting the award, though, the two Saturday Night Live alums could not help but make some jokes of their own, utilizing an instrumental track that continually interrupted their segment and eventually caused them to break out in dance.

"What is going on?!" Ferrell yelled at one point, before the pair jokingly said that the awards ceremony "play[ed] our favorite song [to make] us look ridiculous."

"Like a couple of J-holes," he added. "The Golden Globes have not changed!"

The amusing bit generated plenty of laughter from the audience, and camera crews around the room caught Damon, 53, as he appeared to wipe away a tear as he laughed alongside his wife Luciana Barroso, as well as his longtime pal Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

Damon and Affleck — whose most recent movie Air received two nominations at Sunday's Golden Globes — also appeared during the broadcast to present the award for best director of a motion picture to Christopher Nolan for Oppenheimer.

Giamatti, 56, also presented some jokes during his acceptance speech. "Oh my gosh, so many stairs. Too many stairs. My knees are shot, I'm telling you," he said as he accepted the award. "Up and down all night, standing up and sitting down all night, my knees. I’m never going to be in John Wick 5 at this rate."

"Surely this is the first time this award has been given to an actor who has played a man who smells like fish," he added about his The Holdovers character Paul Hunham, a strict boarding school teacher who has a condition that gives him a fishy body odor.

Giamatti and his costar Da’Vine Joy Randolph both won big at the Globes on Sunday, with Randolph taking home the award for best supporting actress in a movie for her role as Mary Lamb, a cook and grieving mother at The Holdovers' fictional Barton Academy.

"To [filmmaker] Alexander Payne, thank you for giving me the opportunity to portray this beautiful and flawed woman," Randolph said in her speech. She added that her "partners in crime," costars Paul Giamatti and Dominic Sessa, were "an absolute dream to work with, and I thank you for making me a better artist because of it."
