Yesterday, the Internet exploded with breathless reports of Ricky Gervais going “too far” as the host of The 68th Annual Golden Globes despite being hilarious and pissing on these people to their faces. Or basically the exact opposite of me in all respects. Anyway, he was supposedly canned mid-show and banned from future broadcasts after hurting Hollywood’s fee-fees. Turns out, absolutely none of that happened and the entire show went as planned. Here’s Ricky defending his jokes and shooting down “conspiracy theories” on his blog:
Obviously the rumour that the organizers stopped me going out on stage for an hour is rubbish. I did every link I was scheduled to do. The reason why the gaps were uneven is because when I got the rundown I was allowed to choose who I presented to. I obviously chose the spots that I had the best gags for. They couldn’t move around the order but I could move around however I wanted.
All the same conspiracy theories as last year too… “So and so was offended”… “hasn’t been invited back yet”… exactly the same as last time. “Paul McCartney was furious”… no he wasn’t. And nor was Tim Allen and Tom Hanks. I was drinking with them after.
Why do people have to embellish? They’re allowed to say they hated it. They’re allowed to say they didn’t find it funny, that it was tasteless, over the top, or whatever. But why do they speculate and make stuff up?
Don’t worry, I know the answer. Because it’s more interesting than “it went fine and some people won some awards and then went to a party”. But that’s all that happened.
I don’t want to toot my own horn here, but this is exactly why I stuck to the facts while covering the Golden Globes. And by facts I mean January Jones’ breasts which I probably didn’t need to spell out because I’m a pervert, so just assume that’s always what I’m talking about.
ME: How about this weather?
TRANSLATION: How about January Jones’ breasts?
ME: That was an awesome movie.
TRANSLATION: That was an awesome January Jones’ breasts.
ME: Did you see January Jones’ breasts at the Golden Globes?
TRANSLATION: This sandwich needs mustard.

Gold boxers on a fat frame= No.
I don’t find him funny at all.
what fat frame man?
there’s nothing fat on him at all.
he looks great!
and he’s a funny bastrad as usual.
ricky rocks!
Lol@man!! You have your taste and I have mine, and this dude isn’t attractive to me. Short, stubby dudes that have more hair than a baby monkey aren’t cute lol, they should have let Ellen do the show again this year.
He’s fat and holding in his gut, but chicks are so used to their fatass enchalada eating husbands they think this guy’s in shape or something.
@juaquin ingles..LOL!!
Guys, he’s gay, stop fighting over him….. unless your men… then I just made myself look dumb…again.
:P
I think he’s really funny and I am NOT exactly a fan of Brit Humor.
fuck sakes fish when we ask for more naked men this is NOT what we want. There isn’t enough bleach to pour in my eyes to fix this.
LMAO!!
He’s far from fat. Untoned, yes, but not fat. Besides there isn’t a SOUL in the world that would look good in gold boxers with a black bowtie. I think he is funny and I think that’s what this picture was supposed to do – make us laugh!
you sound like you want to bang him…
I’d deffo do him
Gervais is a scream, and the Golden Gobes shit was funny. Although WTF is up with this picture? He looks like a big midget. Or the gayest reject from 300.
yup yup
I’m fairly certain that only straight actors were rejected from the 300 movie. That had to be the gayest “action” film I have ever seen.
Ricky Gervais was spot on during the GG’s, hearing those nervous chuckles behind the fake smiles is more entertaining than 90% of the movies.
See comment below.
nervous chuckles?
alec baldwin and robert deniro looked like they were going to piss them selves from laughing, they had tears in their eyes and obviously loved it as we did too.
the only one’s that would have had a problem would have been the scientologists. but again why?
we all know johnny and tommy are donut punchers and that’s ok, i still like their movies, what they put up their rings, has nothing to do with it.
i loved bruce willis’s face when ricky introduced him as ashton kutchers father!
that was a classic!!!
Yes nervous chuckles. Did you watch it? I love what Rick said but in no way was the laughter loud and boisterous. Damn mama you are whine bitching at the wrong guy here. If the audience had any balls they would have been busting a gut…wake the fuck up.
why hire a sarcastic, comedian with the devlish humor he has, in the first place then. if you wanted billy crystal caberet, singing, tap dancing, then there are plenty of others out there that could do a show like that.
half the audience were scientologists, they were the ones booing.
each to their own. i think he’s great.
I think he’s hilarious. if you don’t want him to make of fun of people, DON’T HIRE HIM to do an awards show.
Ellen gave him some ridiculous underwear, to be ridiculous, and he’s a funny enough guy to wear them. It’s not that big a deal. And he looks far better than I thought he would. You really wanna bleach your eyes over this? I’d rather see him in silly drawers than see Paris flash her cooter or the forehead of that guy who impregnated Natalie Portman or any part of any person Jesse James has put his penis in recently.
or samantha ronson, or any of the kardashians, octomom in a bikini, russel brand, and on and on. really, ricky gervais in gold underpants is bleaching of the eyes worthy? you need a stronger constitution than that for this site. if you can’t maintain your erection and look at pictures of amy winehouse at the same time, for a minimum of 60 seconds, you shouldn’t be on this site at all.
It’s a joke just like your name.
Do have a point there.
Never been one for hairy bodies! But…I’d rather see this ANY day instead of Coco’s manufactured ass!
so true. he looks great and it’s just his funny borat swimsuit!
Just look at him sucking it in and puffin his fuzzy chest out lol. But seriously, this needs a pink star.
He lost some weight and now thinks he’s sexy but he looks repulsive and will gain the weight back anyway.
he doesn’t think he’s sexy! he thinks he’s funny! get a life loser
he looks great!!
Love love love Ricky
prior to the GG’s, i actually didn’t care for ricky gervais at all. but seriously, he owned. definitely won me over.
His gold shorts have won a place right into my heart. And by heart I mean vagina.
Ricky looks fantastic. He’s one of the funniest people out there and I can never get enough of him. He killed at the GGs.
Haters gonna hate.
He looks like Rocky Horror’s older brother, Ricky Horror.
He’s a douche and so are people who say “spot on.”
Spot On!
YAAAAAAAAAY
LOL
Lori is a bit of a cunt I would say ugly girl usually are
Gervais does what comedians do. Ever listen to Don Rickles? How about the queen of botox, Joan Rivers? Hollywood needs to get over itself. Too many thin skinned girlie men. Although Gervais quipped like he was at a roast, much of his stuff was less harsh than what normally passes for humor.
drinking with Paul McCarthy : has he gone to the PETA side?
Vommit……
^that’s what your husband says after you undress, Marie.
haha, you are a cow.
Ricky Gervais is… thinner than me? FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
God DAMNIT.
Now I have to go ponder the quality of my life because I found RICKYFUCKINGGERVAIS not bad looking. Thanks a lot, you ass hole.
The gayest thing about this photo are those sunglasses.
He looks thin, but that belly button is a double-knuckler.
thsi man is an imbecil and not funny at all….
…From someone that misspelled 1 out of every 5 words in their sentence. Lookin’ good.
Everyone was laughing in the audience.
It’s much ado about nothing…The American media strikes again.
“Thsi man is an imbecil?!?”
Oh, the irony.
i loved it he is so funny and spicey i hope he will host next year to he rocks
americans love to talk “Sh*t”.
anyone who just commented on how he ‘looks’ is a loser. he is a genius and you guys are pathetic. spot on!!!!
Nice!!!
i love you
lol lol spot on spot on I say
How can anyone in good conscience put down a guy who publicly admits to pissing in the sink.

Who knew that Ricky wasn’t a lumpy, pasty Brit under his clothes? Certainly not me. For some reason I thought he was shaped more like that toad Britney Murphy was married to.
Glad he stood up for himself…the US media is really nothing more than a high school locker room, making up lies just to make themselves look better. Bastards. Except Fish, of course…I pretty much believe everything you say! ;)
Ellen called. She wants her man-briefs back.
so glad he didn’t apologise.
stupid americans.
This guy is not funny at all. I don’t care about who he offended, this guy is a pseudo-intellectual hack.
I keep waiting for 3-4 other guys in the same gold boxers to join him and start a choreographed routine to “Its Raining Men”.
The Golden Globes are a bigger joke than any other awards show and Gervais made them hysterical. Nobody takes the Globes seriously.
yummy!
