Whomever is running the golden globes awards show if they had any sense would spend every penny they had getting Ricky to host every year.

It's so well played by a genuinely affable human being. Grounding the entire thing while still throwing an unpredictable mix of bones and jabs at the stars. It's entertainment. It drew the audience in with genuine suspense. The ability to pull off or appreciate sophisticated humor is rare and belies great intelligence, IMO.
