Ricky Gervais to Host 2012 Golden Globes
4:38 pm, November 16th, 2011
Ricky Gervais will return to host the Golden Globes in 2012, Gossip Cop confirms with a source involved with the show.
The comedian sparked controversy with his monologue jokes during last year’s ceremony, during which he targeted many of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards are set to take place on January 15, 2012.
Immediately after his lightning rod performance as host last year, Gervais was criticized by for making “totally unacceptable” jokes by Philip Berk, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group responsible for the telecast.
Gervais defended his style as just doing his job, stressing, “I don’t think I did anything wrong.”
Always ready to stir the pot, Gervais just tweeted a photo with Billy Crystal in which he jokes, “Just told Billy Crystal he’d better not use any of my holocaust or pedophile material at The Oscars.”
Last week, Crystal was announced as Eddie Murphy‘s replacement as host of the 2012 Academy Awards.
