Someone Asks Ricky Gervais For His Opinion On The Oscars, The Comedian Doesn’t Hold Back And Roasts Celebs Once Again
Just a month ago, Hollywood was shaken by the savage monologue delivered by none other than English comedian Ricky Gervais, who hosted the Golden Globes award show for the fifth and final time. The man let hell break loose as he brought up numerous issues that plague the celebrity world, from racism to sex scandals, finishing the speech with a bang as he let all ‘woke’ celebrities have it, calling them fake. So it’s unsurprising that once the most prestigious award show approached, some people got curious about what jokes Gervais would have to offer on such an occasion.
One Twitter user shot Gervais a message asking what the comedian’s first best joke would be if he hosted the Oscars and, oh boy, did the man deliver. Gervais was quick to tweet back and offer a short series of jokes, all poking fun at the award show as well as the celebrities attending.

Gervais first called out the celebrities for having underpaid workers, saying that the award show “is the only time your badly paid migrant house staff will get some time off to sleep this week”.
The comedian also brought up how depressing the show is, cracking a joke while promoting his Netflix series at the same time. Now that’s a talent!
And the man was quick to respond with a witty roast directed, once more, at the celebrities

As Gervais posted the tweets, his 14.2M followers responded with applause, praising him for “keeping it real”. The three tweets accumulated an impressive 191k likes as well as 33k retweets. The messages also had people sharing their opinions underneath, where most said that they’d love to have Gervais hosting the Oscars or at least live-streaming the show with his commentary.

I wish people (as in the comments above) would stop saying that Trump supporters love him but don't realise he's not for them. He's a comedian. He's for anyone who finds him funny. Yes, his politics are exceptionally unlikely to be pro-Trump (to put it mildly) but this is about entitled celebrities who think that they can tell the rest of the world how we should all think.
My sentiments exactly. A lot of people find him funny, regardless of their politics. A lot of us are not even Americans.

I like Ricky. He is big animal rights supporter and he is not afraid to tell things as they are. I see no connection between him and Trump whatsoever, someone was just bitter their favorite movie star was roasted. Boo-hoo cry me a river! Everything he said was true.
I love Ricky and I'm not even American, much less a Trump supporter. Stop assuming people who find him funny are Trump supporters. It's shallow-thinking.
You must realize the ones who seek to tie him to Trump and his supporters do so to denigrate he truths he has spoken.

What does Trump have anything to do with this? Of all twitter comments why does Trump matter? Also Ricky is a total savage.
Did someone mention trump? Is it because trumps autobiography is going to be called 'the invention of lying'
I heard it was going to be called"How I revived 1939 Germany in 2016 USA,"

I enjoy Ricky Gervaise, but I am a bit irritated about this gabbbeling about him speaking the 'truth' Of course, a lot of the stuff he says is truthful, but he exaggerates - he's a comedian, that's his job. He seems so refreshing because it is still rather unusual to watch the host of an awards show insulting his audience.
Must we seriously taint genuine comedy with political b******t? This is why we don't have nice things, guys!
Not everyone at the Oscars is rich. Nor do I think the speeches were very political Ricky Gervais need to get new schtick.
Trump makes you laugh and that's why you voted for a rascist, fascist, sexist, lying, manupalitive megalomaniac? Your economy is at an all alltime high, So how come your national debt is still growing with $1 trillion per year and poor people stay poor while rich people get richer? And did you ever stop to think that it's because of the work that Obama did that the economy improved? He speaks his mind like "windmills cause cancer" and "Abortion is when the woman gives birth and next kills the baby." or "Rake the woods to prevent forest fires."?
