This yr’s Golden Globes host, Jerrod Carmichael, garnered gasps when he talked about Whitney Houston‘s demise throughout the present — one thing the property was equally shocked by.
Pat Houston — Whitney’s longtime supervisor and sister-in-law — tells TMZ by means of a rep … “The Whitney Houston Estate is disillusioned in the joke, and felt it was in poor style.” Pat is the only real executor of the property, BTW … so she controls all issues Whitney-related.

As for whether or not Carmichael’s joke was alerted to anybody linked to Whitney previous to Tuesday’s broadcast — sources with direct information inform us no one was given a heads-up.
It’s unclear if anybody at NBC knew JC was going to say Whitney throughout his internet hosting gig — in the second, his comment appeared off the cuff … and it very effectively might have been.
In case you missed it … after the Globes got here again from industrial break at one level, Carmichael mentioned he had been requested to shout out the venue, after which he quipped … “So, we’re right here, stay, from the resort that killed Whitney Houston, the Beverly Hilton.”
Of course, he is referring to the very fact Whitney overdosed in one of many resort rooms again in 2012. Some people laughed, however much more appeared stunned and others even groaned.
#GoldenGlobes host Jerrod Carmichael makes a dig at Scientology: “Backstage, I discovered these three Golden Globe awards that Tom Cruise returned…I feel perhaps we take these three issues and change them for the protected return of Shelly Miscavige.” https://t.co/m069JEKekW pic.twitter.com/fw25ng5nU2

It was simply one of many controversial moments from Jerrod — one other got here when he talked about Shelly Miscavige … a high-ranking Scientologist who’s been out of public view for years.
