Gervais is hosting the Golden Globes for the fourth time in January after previous stints in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The comedian is well known for roasting just about every celebrity in the room during his first three hosting jobs, and it's very likely that the roasting will continue in January.
After news broke yesterday that Gervais was hosting, the comedian took to Twitter to post his thoughts on returning to the Golden Globes.

It's a good job I'm drunk. Otherwise the thought of hosting The Golden Globes again would seem like a real pain in the arse. — Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) October 26, 2015
Can't wait to host The Golden Globes again. My only guarantee is that not everyone will enjoy it as much as me. pic.twitter.com/oqOO8KnyLV — Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) October 27, 2015
There will certainly be plenty of celebs and high-profile figures to skewer this time around, and Gervais already seems to be planning jokes for one person in particular:
Now I want Donald Trump to stop saying things until the day before The Golden Globes. — Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) October 26, 2015
While not every celebrity will appreciate Gervais' return, one star greatly looking forward to it is Hugh Jackman:

The Golden Globes are known for honoring achievement in the fields of film and television. But unlike the Oscars and the Emmys, the Golden Globes are also known for having a more relaxed atmosphere where drinking is encouraged.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have hosted the award show the past three years. Before Gervais' stint in 2010, there had never been a host of the Golden Globes.
The 73rd Annual Golden Globes will air live Sunday, Jan. 10 at 8/7c on NBC.
