Ricky Gervais & Partner Jane Fallon Step Out Before the Globes!

Ricky Gervais and his longtime partner Jane Fallon step out for a morning walk on Thursday (January 7) in Los Angeles.

The 54-year-old British comedian will be returning as the host of the Golden Globes for the fourth time this Sunday night and he opened up about the gig on The Today Show.

“You do have to address things,” Ricky said. “But I’m never trying to undermine the moral fabric of America. I’d rather people laugh than gasp. But if they gasp that’s good, too.”

“I don’t want this nauseating, backslapping ‘aren’t we all great’ … yeah, we know we’re all great. It’s entertainment, it’s fairyland, it’s TV, this isn’t real, we’re … not saving lives,” he added.
