By Chaitra K
Ricky
Gervais,
known
for
his
sharp
tongue
and
mean
sense
of
humor
is
all
set
to
host
the
73rd
annual
Golden
Globe
Awards
in
2016,
in
spite
of
making
a
vow
not
to
ever
do
it
again.
The
actor
and
comedian
took
to
Twitter
announce
the
news
of
his
return
to
Golden
Globes
and
said,
"It's
a
good
job
I'm
drunk.
Otherwise
the
thought
of
hosting
The
Golden
Globes
again
would
seem
like
a
real
pain
in
the
arse."
Post
2012
Golden
Globes,
he
wrote
an
official
blog
on
the
event."Thank
f**k
that's
over.
I've
told
my
agent
to
never
let
me
be
persuaded
to
do
it
again
though.
It's
like
a
parachute
jump."
Ricky
Gervais
posted
a
picture
of
his
on
twitter,
opening
a
bottle
of
champagne
to
celebrate
his
new
contract
with
the
award
show.
He
captioned
it
as,
"Can't
wait
to
host
The
Golden
Globes
again.
My
only
guarantee
is
that
not
everyone
will
enjoy
it
as
much
as
me."
Doesn't
look
like
he
Ricky
is
good
at
sticking
to
his
words
as
good
as
he
is
at
mocking
someone
else's
sexuality
and
sex
life.
The
president
of
NBC
sounded
much
pleased
and
excited
about
having
Ricky
back
on
Golden
Globe
Awards
2016.
Some
of
his
notable
comments
while
hosting
Golden
Globe
Awards
are:
His
Homosexuality
Jokes
On
Jim
&
Ewan
"Also
not
nominated,
I
Love
You
Phillip
Morris.
Jim
Carrey
and
Ewan
McGregor,
two
heterosexual
actors
pretending
to
be
gay.
So
the
complete
opposite
of
some
famous
Scientologists,
then.
My
lawyers
helped
with
that
joke."
He
Made
Fun
Of
The
Third
World
Countries
Saying
"Actors
aren't
just
loved
here
in
Hollywood,
they
are
loved
the
world
over.
You
could
be
in
the
third
world
and
get
a
glimpse
of
a
Hollywood
star
and
it
could
make
you
feel
a
little
bit
better.
You
could
be
a
little
Asian
child
with
no
possessions
and
no
money.
But
you
could
see
a
picture
of
Angelina
Jolie
and
you'd
think,
‘Mummy!"
In
2012
When
He
Had
A
Clash
With
Madonna
For
Saying
The
title
of
her
famous
song
"Like
A
Virgin" is
at
odds
with
her
colourful
romantic
life.
The
singer
responded,
"Ricky,
if
I
am
just
like
a
virgin
why
don't
you
come
over
here
and
do
something
about
it?"
In
2011
He
Took
It
To
A
Whole
New
Level
When
He
Said
"Talking
of
the
walking
dead,
congratulations
to
Hugh
Hefner,
who
is
getting
married
at
age
84
to
24-year-old
beauty
Crystal
Harris.
When
asked
why
she
was
marrying
him,
she
said,
'He
lied
about
his
age.
He
told
me
he
was
94'.
Just
don't
look
at
it
when
you
touch
it."
In
2010
When
His
Monologue
Started
Off
With
"Looking
at
all
the
wonderful
faces
here
today
reminds
me
of
the
great
work
that's
been
done
this
year...
by
cosmetic
surgeons.
I've
had
some
work
done,
too.
I've
had
a
penis
reduction.
Just
got
the
one
now.
And
it
is
very
tiny.
But
then
so
are
my
hands,
so
when
I'm
holding
it
it
looks
pretty
big.
"
Once
the
decision
on
the
host
for
the
forthcoming
event
was
made,
Robert
Greenblatt,
NBC
Entertainment
Chairman
said,
"Disarming
and
surprising,
Ricky
is
ready
to
honor
-
and
send
up
-
the
best
work
of
the
year
in
film
and
television.
Fasten
your
seat
belts."
Gervais
seemed
to
have
sobered
down
and
brought
his
tone
down
during
2012
Golden
Globe
Awards.
But,
you
can
never
say
what's
awaiting
to
spill
out
of
the
comedian's
mouth
during
Golden
Globe
Awards
2016.
So
we
better
fasten
our
seat
belts,
wait
and
watch!
