Comedian and actor Jo Koy was roasted online for his ill-received monologue at the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards, and Koy himself seemed to acknowledge he was bombing mid-act.

After a joke about “Oppenheimer” being a little too long for his liking and a jab at Robert De Niro fathering a new baby at the age of 80, Koy went off script and admitted that some of his jokes weren’t landing.

“I got the gig 10 days ago! You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up,” Koy said from the stage. “You’re kidding me, right? Slow down. I wrote some of these, and they’re the ones you’re laughing at.”
