THE WRAP
He’s Really Back! Ricky Gervais Returning as Golden Globes Host Published: November 16, 2011 @ 1:41 pm By Brent Lang
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association must be gluttons for punishment.
After weeks of rumors, the organization announced Wednesday that Ricky Gervais will be back to host the Golden Globes for a third year.
A year ago, the prospects of Gervais taking the stage again at the Beverly Hills Hilton seemed impossible. The British comedian presided over an insult laden broadcast that poked fun at major stars such as Bruce Willis and Robert Downey Jr., and even the non-profit organization behind the awards show.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association voted for the controversial British comedian’s return after meeting with NBC official Doug Vaughn, the group said.
The Golden Globes awards ceremony, which will be televised worldwide, will be held on January 15 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

But this year all he did was make jokes that were very uncomfortable, and said many unneccesary things. The “Thanking God for being an Atheist” at the end of the show was very offensive as well.

It was uncomfortable to watch Ricky make everyone in the ballroom uncomfortable. Some may find that stuff funny, but I certainly didn’t. Hopefully, he won’t treat the ceremony like a roast this time around.
