Ricky Gervais didn’t mince words when the prospect of him hosting the Golden Globes for a sixth time in 2023 arose on social media Sunday.
“RT if you wish @rickygervais would host the Golden Globes again in 2023,” someone wrote with a clip of his monologue at the 2020 awards.
“Fuck that,” Gervais replied with a laughing and crying emoji.
Gervais, known for skewering the rich and famous at the ceremony, apparently meant what he said in January 2020.
“You’ll be pleased to know that this is the last time that I’m hosting these awards,” he said. “I don’t care anymore. I’m joking. I never did.”
The event was an untelevised low-key affair in 2022, but the association said it had reformed its membership. In September, the group announced plans to return to NBC for its next awards show on Jan. 10, 2023, Variety reported.
