"I'm so excited to be hosting The Golden Globes in January. And I'm really looking forward to spending time with the Hollywood Foreign Press before Donald Trump has them all deported," Fallon tweeted after the announcement.
Fallon has a long history with NBC. He was once a member of "Saturday Night Live" before hosting "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and then "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", reported Ace Showbiz.
"We're thrilled to announce Jimmy as host of The 74th Annual Golden Globes," NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said.
Ricky Gervais hosted the Golden Globes from 2010-2012 and returned this year. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted the ceremony from 2013-2015.
