Ricky Gervais returns as Golden Globes host
It's been a bit of a tug of war between NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association but it looks as though Ricky Gervais will be back to host the 2012 Golden Globes that will take place on January 15.
Taking to Twitter, the HFPA made the announcement that the controversial comedian would return for the third time and NBC's senior vice president of special events and late night programming, Doug Vaughan said “Ricky is delighted to be coming back, he said the Golden Globes show is the most fun he’s ever had.”
While Gervais added on Twitter “Just told Billy Crystal he’d better not use any of my Holocaust or pedophile material at the Oscars."
Will Gervais be toning down his controversial hosting style or will it be more of the same? Only time will tell.
