^ No that Golden Globes point is a very good point indeed.
That's weird you mentioned that too because I was just this second looking at the official host-profile of Ricky Gervais (who I'm also a huge fan of) on the official website. Since he's hosting, live, on Jan 17th.
I don't think it's a silly suggestion... Gervais is an Eminem fan. He even called Em a comedy genius, here's what he said about him:
"Eminem's a comedy genius. How can he get that much humour and balls in a lyric. There's been nothing like him. His songs are genuinely brilliant, funny, erudite, articulate - he can be damning and still remain above it, and funny."
"There's charcacter, there's tongue-and-cheek and he just spits it. And the videos are little works of art as well. If he wants to co-write my next award-winning sitcom with me, it would be an honour."
That's a pretty awesome summation of Em by Gervais. It's also a big deal for Gervais to say that, he doesn't praise people easily and he's what I and many would consider a comedy genius too. For those who don't know he wrote, directed and starred in 'The Office' and 'Extras'. The former of which got re-made for US and many other countries.
Gervais said he's going to try and be different and surprise and since they're both basically... Verbal outlaws in the sense that, they say what they think and both regularly bite back at media and are both satirical and... Ironic... It's not mad to suggest Ricky might of gotten Em on-board for something.
