Writing on his official blog after the 2012 ceremony, Gervais said: “Thank f**k that’s over. I’ve told my agent to never let me be persuaded to do it again though. It’s like a parachute jump.”

Despite this, NBC said he’s “excited” to have Gervais back, in a statement.

He added: “Disarming and surprising, Ricky is ready to honor – and send up – the best work of the year in film and television. Fasten your seat belts.”

Gervais hosted the Globes for three consecutive years (2010-12) when the network registered ratings gains from the previous two telecasts.
