The ceremony hasn't had a host since 2018. Perhaps keeping that in mind, Schumer, Sykes and Hall kept their opening segment brief, and teamed up on several jokes. Then, Schumer waltzed in with the punchline:"And I am representing unbearable white women who call the cops when you get a little too loud."
Of course, Schumer and Sykes know their way around a joke. Both have decades of stand-up comedy performances under their belt, in addition to their popular roles in movies and on TV.
