Ricky Gervais roasts Hollywood elites: “You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything.”
Ricky Gervais returned for the fifth time to host the 2020 Golden Globes and true to form the British comedian pulled no punches.
Addressing the room packed with Hollywood elites, the controversial host slammed his audience, telling them they know nothing of the real world and that they’re in no position to lecture the public.
“A superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing, made by a company that runs sweatshops in China,” Gervais said.
“So well, you say you’re woke, but the companies you work for — I mean, unbelievable: Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service, you’d call your agent. Wouldn’t you.
Gervais continued, “So, if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world.
“Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So, if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank you agent, and your god and f*ck off. Okay?” ***************** TWEET from: Sydney Watson @SydneyLWatson Follow Follow @SydneyLWatson
Ricky Gervais basically just told a room full of champagne-socialist celebrities, to their faces, that they're uneducated, have no concept of the real world, and need to shut up about politics.
The discomfort in that room must really be something. 😂 #GoldenGlobes

Zitaticky Gervais is so happy his Golden Globes hosting duties are over!
One day after playing master of ceremonies at the annual awards show for the fifth time, the 58-year-old comedian pledged on Twitter that it's "never gonna happen" again.
"Thanks for all your amazing comments about my Golden Globes monologue," he tweeted. "Best reaction ever and that means a lot to me."
"I had a blast but thank f**k it's over, so I can get back to my real job of editing #AfterLife2 and touring #SuperNature," he continued. "Make Jokes, Not War."
Gervais then retweeted a news article that said "viewers want Ricky Gervais to host 'every year,'" to which he responded, "Never gonna happen" with the crying laughing emoji.

Pity. Gervais spoke truth to the vain, the egocentric, the narcissistic. They desperately needed it.
Gervais penetrated the cell wall of Hollywood and delivered a wonderful, overdue truth bomb!
