A TV Could Be in Order
We might need to purchase a TV for this one: Ricky Gervais is hosting the 2010 Golden Globes, Variety reports (as does Ricky, of course).
If anyone can breath life into what would otherwise be another boring and narcissistic awards show, it’s the talented Gervais, creator of the “The Office” and “Extras,” now starring in “The Invention of Lying,” a great flick that he co-wrote and co-directed with Matthew Robinson.
Gervais is an adept live performer as well, having headlined several hysterically funny stand-up shows in England, here in the U.S., and in other countries (“Animals,” “Politics,” and “Fame,” among them).
Here’s a clip from the 2008 Emmy Awards, when Ricky tortures the other “Office” guy, Steve Carell, and hilarity ensues:
