Gather โround the campfire, kids. Ricky Gervais has officially been confirmed to host the Golden Globes 2020 yet again. Though this will apparently be the โvery last timeโ Gervais does so.
This marks the professional bridge burnerโs fifth run as the award ceremonyโs MC โ and the fifth time weโll get an opportunity to witness some sicks burns on some of Hollywoodโs highest-profile individuals.
The thing about bridge-burning is when you know thereโs no turning back, youโre bound to charge forward. And thatโs exactly the kind of sentiment old mate Gervais has lived by. But at the end of the day, what else would you expect from the deadpan genius behind The Office.
Gervaisโ trademark cynicism and smile-while-I-stab-you-in-the-front brand of comedy will be a refreshing change of pace. Many have attempted to replicate the takedown artistโs legendary monologues, most recently that of Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh. But heavy lies the crown, as every single one of these attempts seems to have struggled to gain lift-off and fallen a bit flat.
In preparation for this scrumptious Sunday roast dinner slated for January 5th 2020, weโve taken it upon ourselves to prepare a little appetizer of sorts โ comprised of our favourite barbed one-liners. Enjoy:
- โI love a drink as much as the next manโฆ unless the next man is Mel Gibson.โ
- โIโve changed. Not as much as Bruce Jenner. Obviouslyโฆ She became a role model for trans people everywhere, showing great braveryโฆ She didnโt do a lot for women drivers.โ
- โOur next presenter is the star of the hilarious comedy, The Martianโฆ heโs also the only person who Ben Affleck hasnโt been unfaithful to. Please welcome, Matt Damon.โ
