"   Photo: Getty Images  At this year&amp;#039;s New York Comedy Festival, Seth Meyers and Ricky Gervais discussed possible future gigs; the former hopes to work with Betty White again, the latter hasn&amp;#039;t given up on hosting the Golden Globes one more time. In a panel discussion with many of his Saturday Night Live writing team at the Paley Center for Media, Meyers said he would &amp;quot;love&amp;quot; to have Betty White return to the show. The beloved actress hosted SNL right before Mother&amp;#039;s Day last year\u2014thanks to a successful Facebook campaign\u2014and it was a performance Meyers called &amp;quot;unbelievable.&amp;quot; White&amp;#039;s episode gave SNL its highest ratings in 18 months. Speaking at the 92nd St. Y, Gervais said NBC, which broadcasts the annual Golden Globes, had asked him to consider returning as host of the 2012 show. Earlier this year, the British comedian was criticized for mocking the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (as well as a handful of nominated actors), which means that NBC may have a tough time convincing the association to invite him back for a second shot. Gervais maintains that he was surprised that some people found his hosting &amp;quot;mean-spirited, or offensive or even controversial. It was primetime telly, you can&amp;#039;t do stuff that&amp;#039;s that controversial. If they saw my stand-up, their heads would explode.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;What was I doing? It wasn&amp;#039;t a room full of wounded soldiers, it was the richest, most privileged people on the planet, and I was gently ripping them about one of their films,&amp;quot; he said. Gervais also said that if &amp;quot;you&amp;#039;re doing anything that&amp;#039;s not completely anodyne, as many people will hate you as love you, and you&amp;#039;ve got to embrace that because it means you&amp;#039;re getting a reaction. The point of any art, even one as lowly as TV or film comedy, is to make a connection...You&amp;#039;ve got to be bulletproof, you mustn&amp;#039;t worry about it.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
