From Ricky Gervais’ new HuffPost blog entry:

In between eating, drinking, visiting folks, arguing with extremist fundamentalists on Twitter and plugging various shows and DVDs, (only the last one of these is absolutely necessary, the first few I do for fun) my main focus of the the last few days and the next few weeks has been the Golden Globes. I’ve written a few jokes, written and recorded the promos and done the press pics. Now I just have to pop up on a couple of chat shows and do press interviews. The problem is I think I’ve said everything there is to say about the ceremony really. But that won’t get me off the hook. It all started for me in America at the Globes I guess. And now I’ve come full circle. This WILL be my last turn as host. At least for a long time anyway.

It all started eight years ago.
