Ricky Gervais has announced that he’s set to hold the Golden Globes once again in 2020, his fifth time in the job.
The awards will take place on January 5, 2020.
“Once again, they’ve made me an offer I can’t refuse,” Gervais says of the chance to host the ceremony for a fifth time, before confirming that it’ll be the last time you’ll be able to see him in the role.
“But this is the very last time I’m doing this, which could make for a fun evening,” he added.
