Who Will He Offend This Year? Ricky Gervais to Host Golden Globes Again
Ricky Gervais
He's baaack.
Ricky Gervais will host the Golden Globe Awards for a third time, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced Wednesday.
Ricky Gervais doesn't think he went too far at Golden Globes
The announcement comes as somewhat of a surprise after The Office creator and UK series star delivered a hard-hitting monologue last year that included zingers aimed at Hugh Hefner, Charlie Sheen, the cast of Sex and the City 2 and Scientologists. Although many believed he went too far, the three-time Golden Globe winner disagreed. "I think last year I didn't go far enough," he told TVGuide.com after the show. "This year, I went about right. If anyone was offended, then I don't care."
Gervais said in August that NBC had invited him to host a third time, but sounded unsure of whether he would actually say yes. "I am [considering it], but I shouldn't do it," he said. "It's a second encore. Don't do a second encore. I don't think I should do it. What am I going back as?"
