The hilarious Ricky Gervais will be hosting the next Golden Globe Awards.

Ricky Gervais has been tapped to host the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards, which airs live on NBC on Jan. 17 from the Beverly Hilton.

The telecast hasn’t had a host since 1995.

Gervais, who co-created the BBC version of “The Office,” has proven adept at awards show banter during his recent appearances on the Emmys.

“Ricky is certainly one of the funniest people on the planet and has provided some of the most hilarious and memorable awards show moments in recent memory,” said Paul Telegdy, exec vp alternative programming at NBC and Universal Media Studios. “His unique comedic style will enhance the only awards show that brings together television and film stars to celebrate entertainment’s biggest night of the year.”

Gervais is a funny man, he’ll be a great choice for the first host in 15 years. It’s hard to believe awards season is going to be rolling around again soon. This is the time to start looking for all those great films that have to be released by the end of the year.
