It’s official! Ricky Gervais will return as host of the 2020 Golden Globes.
The British comedian and his very sharp tongue is set to host the 77th Golden Globe Awards marking his fifth time fronting the ceremony. The record breaking hosting duties, however, will be his last time.
“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 Paul Telegdy, Chairman, NBC Entertainment. “It is sure to make for an unexpected evening. We can’t wait to see what he has up his sleeve.”
NBC will broadcast the awards show live on January 5, 2020.
