Ricky Gervais: The Best Golden Globes Host of All Time

Honestly, the only reason I watched the Golden Globes in the past was because it was hosted by the one and only Ricky Gervais. Before that and after, I have not watched the award show again. Until 2020 when he has been chosen to host the award show one last time. It will be a night to remember, I assume. The last two times he hosted the "third-best award show," as he once mentioned, have placed Gervais' performance in my personal library of comedy gold. From a comedy standpoint, he is the best because he managed to make the show funny and enjoyable. His roasts on celebrities in attendance was the entire icing on the cake and the main reason we wanted a slice of it. Sure, the humiliation was perhaps not well-received by the actors and actresses, but I think they can take a few punches. Even though sometimes the roasts were extrapolated by controversy and personal issues. I don't feel too bad for them because they are in showbusiness, they are working to entertain us and  getting paid quite well. It is because of Ricky that the award has received some of the highest ratings ever. More than any other presenter. When people watch, money flows. A simple formula which keeps producers scratching their heads and use the same successful ingredients for another cake. I believe when it comes to Ricky in the upcoming 2020 Golden Globes, whoever wins an award will not be the highlight of the evening but what surprise he has in store for us. At least we can go back and do a simple Google search to see who won. I can't wait to see what happens.
