Coco Gauff Gives Serena Williams Huge Shoutout For Comedy at ESPY Awards 2024

Published

on

 

Serena Williams has not only won 23 women’s singles Grand Slams in her career, but she is also a fashionista, an entrepreneur, and a business owner of various brands and sporting teams. But who would’ve thought that the American is also a great host and has a terrific sense of humor? Williams is hosting the 2024 ESPY Awards, and she brought her ‘A’ game in there as well. More than anybody, it’s her lifelong fan Coco Gauff who’s enjoying it the most.

 

Gauff took to X to share her excitement about Williams hosting the ESPY Awards. Gauff said she’s loving it with a ‘haha’ message, indicating how funny Williams has been while hosting.

Gauff isn’t wrong as Williams’ opening monologue is filled with hilarious references from the sporting as well as pop culture world. Williams name-dropped Caitlin Clark, Larry Bird, Kendrick Lamar, and Rob Lowe among many others in her monologue.

Gauff, who has been a lifelong fan of Williams and one whom she idolized all her life, was in awe of her hero’s talent. Gauff was present at the event too, and she enjoyed the way Williams hosted.

Hosting the ESPYs isn’t anyone’s cup of tea. It has previously been hosted by Stephen Curry (2022) of the Golden State Warriors, John Cena (2016), and Samuel L Jackson (2009), among many other notable names. But Williams held her own and entertained the esteemed crowd gathered there.

Gauff won an award in the presence of Williams
At the 2024 awards, Gauff won the ESPY for ‘Best Tennis Player’. She was nominated alongside Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Iga Swiatek in the category. Some would say it was controversial to give the award to Gauff because even though the 20-year-old did win the 2023 US Open, she hasn’t been able to replicate the same kind of performance since.

On the other hand, Swiatek just dominated the clay court tournaments. She won the Madrid Open, the Italian Open, and the French Open in succession. Furthermore, she has also been the world’s no. 1 player for more than 100 weeks now. Despite that, the Polish star didn’t win the award.

Meanwhile, Gauff was also nominated for the Best Athlete – Women’s Sports category. But it was won by A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces, WNBA

Wake up, Jeff.” — Governor Gavin Newsom abruptly announced that he would remove all of his media content and partnerships from Amazon, denouncing the relationship between Jeff Bezos and Don@ld T.r.u.m.p. The statement quickly became an ultimatum that stunned both Bezos and the public. “You Trump supporters, you support division and hate. I cannot be a part of that,” Newsom declared in an official post on his personal page. Bezos, taken aback by this uncompromising decision, had no time to react — he could only remain silent in shock. Soon after, Donald Trump fired back fiercely on Truth Social, calling Newsom “an arrogant, attention-seeking politician.” But Gavin Newsom was undeterred. He responded with eight short, cold, and powerful words — words that silenced Trump, and sent social media into a frenzy of support. 💬 Comments went viral on X (old Twitter): “This is the first time anyone has spoken directly to Bezos and Trump like this.” “Newsom just turned Bezos’ silence into a moral judgment.” Meanwhile, political observers said it was a “bold but symbolic move” that marked a deep divide between politics and Big Tech. An editor at The Atlantic wrote: “Newsom understands that this is about more than just business — it’s about the soul of America.” At the same time, a wave of #BoycottAmazon calls spread on social media, with hundreds of thousands of people retweeting Newsom’s remarks, with the message: “If he can stand up, so can we.” While many saw it as a political gamble, there’s no denying one thing: Gavin Newsom has created a seismic shift in the relationship between political power and tech power. And by nightfall, his short tweet had been shared millions of times — a reminder that in today’s noisy world, sometimes just eight words can change everything……⤵️

BREAKING NEWS: Gavin Newsom just delivered a thunderous message that left some of the world’s richest and most influential people frozen in their seats — and then he backed it up with action… At a lavish black-tie gala in Manhattan — a room overflowing with billionaires, couture gowns, champagne towers, and egos big enough to cast shadows — Gavin Newsom stepped onto the stage to accept a prestigious Leadership Impact Award. Everyone expected a polished, diplomatic speech. Everyone expected safe applause lines. Everyone expected politics-as-usual. Instead, they got a shockwave. Rather than thanking corporate donors, praising elite partnerships, or reading a carefully massaged PR script, Newsom looked directly at a room filled with some of the wealthiest people on Earth — including Mark Zuckerberg and several Wall Street titans — and said: “If you’re blessed with wealth, use it to bless others. No one should build palaces while children have no homes. If you have more than you need, it isn’t truly yours — it belongs to those in need” The room went dead silent. Eyewitnesses said Zuckerberg and other tech magnates sat completely still — frozen, unsmiling, hands motionless above their napkins. No applause. No polite nods. Just the quiet shock of people hearing a truth sharper than any speechwriter would dare deliver. Of course they didn’t clap. Truth makes the comfortable uneasy. Because Gavin Newsom wasn’t speaking about envy — he was speaking about moral responsibility. A responsibility too many in that room preferred not to acknowledge. But he didn’t stop at words. What Gavin Newsom did next left many shocked and stunned…READ MORE BELOW👇👇👇
