ricky gervais

'The Muppets' sequel is moving along at full-speed, and following the announcement last week that 'Modern Family's Ty Burrell joined the cast, now comes word that Ricky Gervais is in talks to play one of the human leads as well.

Ricky Gervais’ comedy routines may be a bit offensive to some celebrities, but he is largely a warmhearted individual who wouldn’t hurt a fly. That is why it is so ‘shocking’ to see the funny man send an electric jolt through T4 host Steve Jones, during this hilarious interview.

In the words of Ricky Gervais, “The Golden Globes are to the Oscars like Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton, bit louder, bit drunker, bit trashier, and more easily bought. Allegedly. Nothing’s been proved.” That was pretty much the host’s theme for the entire evening.

Ricky Gervais may be returning as host of the Golden Globes, despite his controversial display in 2010. The New York Post reports Gervais was spotted eating dinner with the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which puts on the Globes, and an executive from NBC, which broadcasts it.
