Ricky's best (and nastiest) one-liners from his third time hosting the Golden Globes
By Emily Yoshida, Special to Metromix
We were as surprised as everyone else when NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press announced that the now-notorious Ricky Gervais would be coming back to host the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards after his shockingly hilarious, near-disastrous run last year.
And after seeing the 2012 Golden Globes, we finally understood what the flipside of that deal would be: aside from the opening monologue, Gervais was practically M.I.A. during the show’s three-hour run, and his jokes were seriously reined-in compared to last year. Still, the wildly irreverent Brit was still able to get in a few good digs.
