Ricky Gervais To Host The Golden Globes It is as close as the Golden Globes has ever come to making me think for a second about actually watching the Golden Globes.

They used to call me Golden Globes on the force. Luckily I applied a cream and the mockery stopped.

If there's nothing good on the internet that night, I might just watch it.

He's always holding a drink when he simply presents an award there. How fucked up will he be when he's onstage the whole night?

It would be amazing if he realized that and just upgrades to a bottle! I want him slurring!

What is the over-under on Ricky Gervais/American Office jokes? And with what bookie can I place my "over" wager?

It's fitting he hosts the only award show that brings together the ugly and good looking people of the entertainment industry.

A safe bet that Invention of Lying isn't getting nominated for anything then.

At least he's moving up from the Welsh BAFTAs.

Can't he host the Emmy's or the Oscars? The reason I like the Golden Globes is b/c it has no host and goes by quickly. I'm sure he'll be great, he always is, but must we make it longer? Kate Winslet will have no time to have orgasms when she receives awards if there is a host! Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoIjkgPbDJs (about 22sec in)

Looks like the Golden Globes just got a bit more Karl Pilkington in its future
