Not a HUGE shocker, given how successful the show was in its first season!

The numbers are in, and the season premiere for Ricky Gervais/Science Channel's An Idiot Abroad 2: The Bucket List was the network's most-watched telecast EVER in key adult/male demographics! Wowsa!

The show brought in 1.3 million viewers for its Saturday night premiere, which is VERY impressive for Science Channel!

Here's what Ricky had to say about the show's success:

Ricky Gervais has called it quits, saying Sunday's performance will be his last time as Golden Globes host.

The comedian posted the following on his website:

We happened to love Ricky's monologue (above), but we think these were GREAT moments too!

TiVO has compiled a list of the most-watched moments from the 2012 Golden Globes broadcast, and people are definitely reliving some of the best ones!

Here are the top three moments that people have been re-watching through their DVRs:

Nobody is safe when he hosts the Golden Globes! Not even reality stars.

Yep! Ricky Gervais got Kim Kardashian too!!

After calling her a trashier Kate Middleton, bought for way less, he joked about watching longer James Cameron acceptance speeches than her marriage!

But of course Kim is all smiles about it. She insists she thought all the joking was really funny and that she had a good sense of humor about it.

Okay… now we know everyone is rolling their eyes at that, but we believe it! We HIGHly doubt she was upset…and here's why…

Kathryn Russ Dunlap sent us a picture on facebook of her HUGE, super cute dog Rufio with Ricky Gervais!

She wrote:

"Hey Perez, Ricky Gervais stopped to give my dog Rufio some love on Rodeo Drive. He was so nice and he really loves dogs!!! Wishing him the best on Sunday!!!"

We love Ricky and we LOOOOVE you're dog's mohawk!

So cute.

This year's Golden Globes festivities remained on par with past stints hosted by Ricky Gervais.

The show's run onf NBC ended with a 11.7 rating, only a tenth below last year's 11.8.

The Globes got their initial Ricky spark with a 11.9 during his first appearance in 2010. This combined with a 14% spike from 2009 could determine why the comedian is asked to come back every year!

NBC dominated the night and remained on top from 8pm-11pm.

Aside from searing barbs from (Johnny Depp endorsed) Ricky Gervais, and more importantly MADGE, the Golden Globes did not give us the drama we've seen in previous years.

There were few suprise upsets or shockers but in the world of television, the little guys made a big splash over network TV, including Showtime's Homeland winning best TV drama and Joey Matt LeBlanc taking Best Actor for TV comedy!

Meryl Streep and George Clooney completed a mostly chalk night for film, taking home the acting honors in Best Drama while Michelle Williams and Jean Dujardin walked away with Best Comedy acting honors.

Rule of thumb: Don't mess with the Queen of Pop!!!

After taking a few jabs at her, Ricky Gervais introduced Madonna to present the award for Best Foreign Film. Before she got down to business, Madonna did what we think the likes of Jodie Foster and Kim Kardashian wish they could - she got back at him!

Check out the video (above) to watch Madonna lay into Ricky in just about the best way possible!

That's our DIVA!
