Ricky Gervais to host the Golden Globes for a record 5th and "very last" time

Entertainment Weekly

The British comedian will helm the Golden Globe Awards ceremony on Jan. 5, 2020 -- 10 years after he first hosted in 2010. Gervais returned to host the following two years, in 2011 and 2012, and a fourth time in 2016. “Once again, they’ve made me an offer I can’t refuse. But this is the very last time I’m doing this, which could make for a fun evening,” Gervais said in a statement. “There is always a palpable electricity in the room when Ricky takes the Globes stage. His return as master of ceremonies at the Golden Globes is much anticipated,” added NBC Entertainment chairman Paul Telegdy. “It is sure to make for an unexpected evening. We can’t wait to see what he has up his sleeve.” ALSO: Golden Globes signs a new water partner following this year's "Fiji Girl" controversy.
