A Golden Globes Whitney Houston joke has not gone over well

Golden Globes host Jerrod Carmichael came back from a break during the live awards show broadcast Sunday Night and started the next segment with a joke that has upset Whitney Houston's Family. The comedian said "So here we are, live from the hotel that killed Whitney Houston, The Beverly Hilton." Most people in the audience did not laugh. They gasped or groaned. The comment was apparently not part of any script. Just something Carmichael quipped in an attempt to be funny. Pat Houston who was Whitney Houston's long time manager and sister in law commented to TMZ on Carmichael's attempt at humor yesterday. Saying in a written statement: "The Whitney Houston Estate is disappointed in the joke, and felt it was in poor taste." Pat Houston handles all matters that pertain to Whitney's estate.

I've done live radio shows for more that 40 years. Sometimes I've said some really dumb things too. It happens. That being said Jerrod should apologize to Whitney's family right away.
