Ricky Gervais Golden Globes return planned

Ricky Gervais’ controversy-packed presentation of this year’s Golden Globes was one of our favourite moments of 2011.

And it looks like we’ll be getting more of t🎀he s💃ame in 2012, albeit in a very different format.

Writing for the Wall Street Journal, Gervais revealed: "I don't think I should host the Golden Glo🔜bes again, even if I'm asked and that is ꦑvery unlikely, to be honest...

"But because of the greate🦩st thing about our society, freedom of speech, I can still host the Golden Globes, or any event on♛ the planet.

“♈I a𝓡m working with a Californian technology company on a live webcast idea.

"People wa༒tch their TV at the same time as listening to me and a few chums provide our own alternཧative commentary.”

"This is not to steal anyone's thunder, or disrupt pleasa🌄nt society. It's simply a new horizon. And for its own sake.

"I have no idea if it will work but I didn't know if podcasting w⛄ould work back in 2005 when I launched The Ricky Gerꦆvais Show.

“I didn't particularly care either. I w🌺as doing it for a laugh. There are not many better reasons to do anything."

We can’t w🧸ait. After 🌱all, Gervais had to run his jokes past the Golden Globes producers last year, and he still made headlines around the world.

What will he come out with if he&rs🐻quo;s completely unfettered by any kin🌟d of censorship?

Also, ‘me and a few chums’ mak🌠es us think that Ka🤡rl Pilkington will be involved in the webcast at some point.

Karl Pilkington hosting the Golden Globes? Now that’s something we’d pay to see. Or ✃listen to.
