Will Arnett thinks he will lose a Golden Globe to his ex-wife Amy Poehler.
The former couple - who were married from 2003 until 2016 - are in the running to bag the first gong in the inaugural Best Podcast category at the ceremony on Sunday (11.01.26), with their programmes SmartLess and Good Hang, respectively, up for nomination.
Asked if Will, 55, has an acceptance speech ready if his podcast, SmartLess, wins, he joked to People that he would "leave the speech writing" to his co-presenter, 55-year-old actor Sean Hayes.
Will - who also hosts SmartLess with 56-year-old actor Jason Bateman - quipped: "[Sean has] actually written all the speeches for all the nominees for every category. He’s written Amy’s acceptance speech already."
In December 2025, Will - who has been hosting SmartLess since July 2020 - revealed the text Amy, 54, sent him after they were both nominated in the Best Podcast category.
He read the text from the Inside Out star - who launched Good Hang in March 2025 - that he received whilst he discussed his new movie, Is This Thing On? with The Hollywood Reporter.
Amy - who met Will in the 1990s, when he watched her perform in an improv group in New York - wrote in the message: "Congrats. Let’s party."
