"They must be mad. Not sure if I'm flattered that they trust me or insulted that they trust me. Either way... they shouldn't trust me," said Gervais on his hosting duties.
Considered the most influential British comedian since Charlie Chaplin, Gervais is an award-winning standup comedian, and his tour "Fame" became the fastest-selling UK stand up show in history. Gervais is also featured in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most downloaded Internet show of all time. He has written, directed, produced and starred in "Cemetery Junction," "The Invention of Lying" and starred in "Ghost Town."
In 2010, Gervais was asked to be the first host of the Golden Globes since 1995. He was named in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World and awarded the 'Sir Peter Ustinov Comedy Award' from the Banff World Television Festival.
