The comedian addressed the fact that last year Cruise, who has been a Scientologist member for 30 years, returned the Golden Globe trophies he won in the past amid a boycott of the awards’ organisers, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
The controversy surrounded an exposé into the lack of diversity within the HFPA, and a separate ethics scandal.
Midway through the ceremony on Sunday night, comic and ceremony host Carmichael came on stage ahead of the next award.
He said: “Backstage, I found these three Golden Globe awards that Tom Cruise returned. Just a pitch, but I think maybe we take these three things and exchange them for the safe return of Shelly Miscavige.”

Shelly is the famous wife of Scientologist leader David Miscavige. She rose to prominence after being seen alongside David in the 1970s, and became the First Lady of Scientology until she suddenly disappeared from the public eye in 2007.

Not much about her whereabouts has been made known despite reports referring to her as the “vanished” wife of David.
Meanwhile, her husband continues to serve as the Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center and Ecclesiastical Leader of the Scientology Religion, according to the official website.
Cruise is a known Scientologist, and has been a member for 30 years.
Zach Heltzel wrote on Twitter: “Jerrod making a Shelly Miscavige joke before introducing cast members from Top Gun…we love to see it,” while SlateCulture’s Sam Aadams added: “Lol Jerrod making a Shelly Miscavige joke to utter silence before introducing two actors from TOP GUN MAVERICK.”
Meanwhile, @catherinebouris added: “OK Jerrod Carmichael gets kudos from me for mentioning Shelly Miscavige right before introducing two of the Top Gun guys.”
And Mike Rinder, a former Scientology member who has written books about how he left the church, praised the comedian for raising awareness about Miscavige.
It’s time for #scientology to produce Shelly Miscavige. Thank you #jerrodcarmichael for raising the world’s awareness. @LeahRemini and others have been fighting for proof of her well-being for years. #WheresShelly #FreeShelly #GoldenGlobes
