Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell steal the show at the 2017 Golden Globes

STEVE Carell and Kristen Wiig have trumped Jimmy Fallon by delivering the funniest moment of the Golden Globes.

KRISTEN Wiig and Steve Carell have trumped Golden Globes host Jimmy Fallon and delivered the funniest moment of the ceremony.

In a tight five-minute routine, the comedians managed to crush the lacklustre monologue Fallon delivered earlier in the night when they hit the stage to present the award for Best Animated Motion Picture.

“We co-star in the film Despicable Me — we also we get out haircut together,” Wiig informed the audience. Asked by Wiig about the first animated film he ever saw, Carell recounted the time his father took him to see Fantasia as a child and how after the movie they found his mother in the lobby of the theatre.

“That was the moment she told my dad she wanted a divorce,” he deadpanned. “I never saw my father then after that day — Fantasia day.”

ALL THE WINNERS AND MOMENTS FROM THE 2017 GOLDEN GLOBES

Attempting to change gears, Kristen recalled the first animated movie she saw — Bambi. And it was equally depressing.

Wiig and Carell console each other after sharing their depressing childhood stories at the Golden Globes.

“March 14 1981. It was the same day we had to put our dogs down. Three of them. Little Jack, Janet and Chrissie. My grandpa thought it’d be fun to go to a movie. It didn’t take our minds off it. Bambi’s mum. And also that was the last day I saw my grandpa. He disappeared. And I didn’t speak for two years.”

The two comedian’s looked stared blankly at the floor.

“And the nominees are,” Carell said, ending the intentionally awkward silence.

The bit managed to get more laughs than Fallon’s opening monologue, which was overshadowed by a technical glitch just a few seconds after hitting the stage.
