He's provided memorable moments on the Golden Globe awards in the past – and this year Ricky Gervais will have the chance to do so again. The British comedian will host the 67th Annual Golden Globes in January, PEOPLE has confirmed.
“Not only is this the biggest Hollywood celebration of the industry, which includes both film and TV, but also an environment where I feel I can get free reign as a host," Gervais said Monday. "I have resisted many other offers like this, but there are just some things you don't turn down."
This marks the first time that the telecast has had a host since 1995. This year's Golden Globes will be broadcast live on NBC on Jan. 17 from the Beverly Hilton Hotel starting at 8 p.m. ET. Nominations will be announced Dec. 15.
"We are delighted to have Ricky Gervais as the host on our show," said Philip Berk, President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

No swank Hollywood gyms for British comedy star Ricky Gervais.
The creator of the award-winning series The Office says he and girlfriend Jane Fallon recently bought a place in New York with "a gym in the basement."
"So I never have to exercise in public," Gervais, 47, tells the November issue of Britain's Psychologies Magazine.
"My favorite thing in the world is to come home, have a swim, put my pajamas on and open a bottle of wine," he adds. "That's it for me."
