On Gear Live: 2024 Nissan Z Nismo Review

Ricky Gervais and Steve Carell

Ricky Gervais might not be interested in hosting the Golden Globes again, but that doesn't mean he's done with NBC.

Gervais, who co-created the British version of The Office is finally going to make a cameo on American version. He will show up as David Brent, the role he played in the UK series.

Although it's unclear what role Ricky will play in the episode, we do know that he will come face-to-face with Dunder Mifflin's Michael Scott. (Will Brent's arrival have anything to do with Steve Carell's early departure?)

Ricky, the executive producer of the NBC comedy, will appear on January 27.

Boardwalk Empire

The Golden Globe contenders for the 2010-11 season were officially announced Tuesday morning in Beverly Hills by Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel and Blair Underwood.

Last year's Best Comedy Series winner, Glee, lead all television programs with a total of five nominations. Five series -- 30 Rock, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, The Good Wife and Mad Men -- tied for second place with three nods each.

Here are some of the notable omissions/inclusions from this year's list of nominees:

  • The Good Wife was the only non-cable series to be recognized for Best Drama.
  • The Walking Dead replaced that other horror series (True Blood), giving AMC two nominations in the Drama category.
  • The limitations of the Best Supporting Actor category meant only two acting noms for the cast of Modern Family.
  • Jennifer Love Hewitt has found herself pitted against Claire Danes ... and Dame Judi Dench.

The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards -- hosted again by Ricky Gervais -- will air Jan. 16 on NBC.

While it's still not known exactly how Steve Carell will depart from The Office, I'm guessing his exit might have something to do with the Christmas "Holly" arriving in Scranton.

On tonight's episode, Holly Flax (Oscar nominee ) will make her long-awaited return to Michael Scott's Dunder Mifflin branch. Flax, who's scheduled for eight episodes, will be filling in for Toby once again. (Scott's nemesis will be away on a leave of absence.)

So will Holly finally dump her Nashua boyfriend? Will she forgive Michael for the herpes scare? Tune in!

If you rely on TiVo to record episodes of (and not Outsourced) like I do, you may have missed this extra nugget as well.

At the very end of the recent episode, viewers got a chance to see the material Michael Scott (Steve Carell) used for a Sweeney Todd audition.

Let’s just say Johnny Depp won’t need to worry about the competition anytime soon.
