"We're excited to have Ricky Gervais back to host the most enjoyable awards show of the season in his own inimitable way," NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement. "Disarming and surprising, Ricky is ready to honor -- and send up -- the best work of the year in film and television."
Gervais is currently starring in Netflix's "Derek," which he created. He also had a series of projects on HBO, including the series "Extras."
