Ricky Gervais Reveals Golden Globes Strategy
Posted by Adam
RICKY Gervais plans to make everyone a target when he takes to the stage as host of next month’s Golden Globe Awards.
“Anyone who’s younger or thinner and richer and more attractive than me – that’s the one I’m going for,” the British funnyman, 48, told People magazine of his strategies for his first-ever hosting gig.
“I want to host it a little bit more like someone from the Rat Pack would host — playing the room, a little bit more off-the-cuff, roasting a few of the A-listers.”
NBC will air the Globes live from Beverly Hills on Jan. 17.
“I’m going to certainly not do anything cruel or distasteful, but gentle ribbing,” Gervais added.
“Over the [show's] three hours, I imagine my tie’s going to come off and I’ll get drunker and drunker. I don’t know what the last hour’s going to be like, but the first hour will be watchable.”
