Frankly, I didn't watch it. I have bronchitis. BUT from the reviews I'm reading, it seems Ricky Gervais wore out his welcome as a funny man here in the US. According to the Hollywood Reporter, TV critics had this to say about the British comedian:
Indie Wire said Gervais gave a "a go-for-broke performance that would become —and I‘m not exaggerating – legendary, a benchmark by which other flameout hosting gigs are measured." But after Gervais mysteriously disappeared for the second half of the show, "the rest of the three hour show became lethally dull."
The New York Times compared Gervais -- and Christian Bale, who won the first award of the night, best supporting actor for The Fighter -- to feuding politicians. "It’s so rare for presenters to be at open war with their host, and at times it almost looked as if Mr. Gervais and Mr. Bale were intent on bringing to Hollywood some of the incivility and extremism that veins political discourse," wrote the paper's Alessandra Stanley.
TV Guide called Gervais out for "slaughtering any number of sacred cows while torching some of Hollywood's most prodigious egos. As host of the otherwise innocuous Golden Globe Awards for the second (and possibly last) time, he didn't just bite the proverbial hand, he spit it back out and mocked it again for good measure."
The Hollywood Reporter's Tim Goodman defended Gervais, calling him "scathing and hilarious in a way that made for entertaining television but no doubt bruised some egos and all but killed any chance he'll host again."
Well, here's to him. As his version of the British "The Office" ended after only 2 seasons, he was noted saying to Steve Carrell in his last hosting gig, "It's not about quantity, it's about quality." Well, apparently quality's gone downhill.
