Host With the Most, Or Did Ricky Tarnish the Golden Globes?
Why are people so surprised that Ricky Gervais made a series of (not particularly funny) jokes at a lot of people’s expense during his second outing as host of the Golden Globes telecast? It’s the Globes, folks, the awards show best known for its festivities fueled by free-flowing alcohol, leading to a lot of loose lips and funny slips on stage at the Beverly Hilton.

It was absolutely heartless, sickening and shocking to see and hear this man’s pathetic spiel about how he was...
