Ricky Gervais set to host 2012 Golden Globes

Comedian Ricky Gervais is set to host the Golden Globes for the third time on 15 January.

Despite causing controversy last year, Gervais said audiences can expect a performance with the same tone.

The comedian said he initially thought the organisers, Hollywood Foreign Press Association, would be a "challenge" but he says they now know what to expect from him.
