Gervais continued, "I think NBC wants me to do it, but (the) Hollywood Foreign Press have got to want me as well. It’s their event. It’s their party."
Gervais also piped right up with an offer to pull double awards season duty when the interviewer mentioned Eddie Murphy was no longer hosting the Oscars.
"I’ll do that as well. I’ll be in town any way for the Globes," he laughed. "Two for one offer. I can knock off 20 percent. Two for one deal. I’ll just stay up there."
