Mild mannered in appearance, Ricky Gervais has been described as a wee bit mean spirited – and perhaps even caustic in his role of Golden Globe Awards host. Gervais had the freedom to punch holes in gigantic ego balloons, because he had no plans to be asked to return, and he’s undoubtedly right about that!
The list of stars that Gervais insulted reads like a who’s who of American stardom, though it is revealing in the aftermath to see who can laugh at themselves, and who is taking it rather badly. Believe it or not, there was even a joke he restrained himself from telling, but he shares it here with Conan O’Brian – and a few million others.
