Watch: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler skewer Bill Cosby and his rape allegations

Alex Abad-Santos is a senior correspondent who explains what society obsesses over, from Marvel and movies to fitness and skin care. He came to Vox in 2014. Prior to that, he worked at The Atlantic.

At the Golden Globes on Sunday, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler touched on a variety of entertainment news topics from the past few months.

There was some gentle ribbing of The Interview and the Sony hack, along with some riffs about Amal Clooney and sexism in the industry. But the most on point, and gasp-inducing moment was when the two touched on the rape allegations facing Bill Cosby. Cosby himself had recently made a rape joke at a show this week.

“Sleeping Beauty — she was just getting coffee from Bill Cosby,” Fey said, before going into an impersonation.

You can watch the monologue above. And here is a reaction shot of the Hollywood crowd as they delivered their scathing lines.
