Ricky Gervais isn't known for being politically correct, and the host returned to the Golden Globe Awards [1] to bring his signature controversial humor.

"Not even Sean Penn [4] will find me. Snitch." — Admitting that he'll run away after he hosts, and that Sean Penn won't find him, El Chapo style.
