Renowned reality producer Mark Burnett thinks he would be a solid gold choice!

But is Ricky Gervais ready to host the Oscars?

After a controversial few years poking fun at celebrities as the host of the Golden Globes, the Extras creator has learned a thing or two about awards shows.

And as much as he would love to bring his comedy to the big show, he says he'll only do it under special conditions! He says:

Ricky Gervais is a kind-hearted, caring man who also just happens to be crazy HIGHlarious!

Ricky has worked with the WSPA, Cruelty Free International and PETA.

So he's a huuuuge animal rights supporter and activist. But how can he best help out his animal buddies??

Ricky Gervais is just a little cuddle muffin, isn't he??

He must get tired of being hilarious all the time and just wants to nap on occasion.

Luckily, this occasion involved his pretty pussy!

He tweeted a pic (above) and wrote:

Sorry, Office fans!

Ricky Gervais will reportedly not be making a guest appearance on the show’s series finale. He’s just too busy working on the upcoming Muppets movie!

As if that wasn't bad enough, Steve Carrell, who brought the HIGHlarious and annoying Michael Scott to life, won’t be returning either!

This just adds to our anxiety over the show's nearing end — the hour-long final airs on May 16th — but at least we have Ricky's David Brent Comic Relief video to temporarily brighten things up.

The TIME 100 Gala, celebrating TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in the World, was host to a myriad of celebs last night.

The “influential” bunch arrived at the Lincoln Center donning some of their best and worst dresses, strutting down the red carpet before heading inside.

Guests included Lena Dunham, Claire Danes, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Olivia Munn and many more.

Of course, power couple Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel attended too!

Ch-ch-check out the photos (below) and see if you can pick out your favorite outfit of the night!

ZOMG! We can't believe it's been 10 years!!!

Back before a wonderfully incompetent Steve Carell made blundering middle management fun, Ricky Gervais was pioneering the whole faux documentary TV trend in Britain with his O.G. version of The Office!

And now, a decade after the show ended it's run, the darling doofus David Brent returns to us for to us for one final encore!!

Ch-ch-check out his charming and charitable Red Nose Day comedy special The Return of Brent (above)!

Ha! He was brilliant as an office manager, but we like him even more managing mismanaging rappers, LOLz!!

More importantly, Ricky and the head-shaving Jessie J (and so many others) raised tons of cash for charity! Over 100 million dollars so far!!

Did the vid tickle your funny bone? You can still donate HERE!

Aww! It warms our heart when celebz go above and beyond the call of duty!

Tomorrow is Red Nose Day, an unofficial holiday where celebz do wacky stuff to raise money for a variety of noble causes!

For Rick Gervais, RND means revisiting The Office with HIGHlarious results!

For Jessie J? Well, her task is slightly less funny!

The Nobody's Perfect singer vowed to
