Despite all the controversy that followed Ricky Gervais‘ hosting gig of this year’s Golden Globe Awards, he has been asked to come back a third time. The Daily Mail quotes the funnyman as saying:

‘The ratings went up again, and the organisers asked me to consider a third year. (But) I don’t think I should. I don’t know what I could do better. I certainly couldn’t get more press for them, that’s for sure.

The article goes on to quote him from his writings in this week’s Heat Magazine:

‘I did exactly what I went to do: improve on last year’s and have a laugh. The response was staggering. It was discussed on every news channel and chat show for weeks.

‘The weird thing is, the question is always, “Did Ricky go too far?” And the answer is always, “No.” I have yet to find anyone who was actually offended by it.’

His controversial jokes included a jab at closeted Scientology actors, Robert Downey Jr’s past drinking issues and Mel Gibson.

My only beef with the Golden Globes was there wasn’t enough Ricky Gervais.

Do you think he should host a third year?
