Comedian Jerrod Carmichael will host next month’s Golden Globe Awards, presiding over a celebration of TV and film that is trying to make a comeback after being knocked off the air by controversy.

Carmichael, who won an Emmy this year for his intimate HBO special Rothaniel, will host a ceremony that has been criticised for snubbing black-led projects and performances.
