Ricky Gervais reveals the risky Golden Globes jokes he’d have told about Justin Timberlake and jailed P Diddy if he were hosting 2025 ceremony
Ricky Gervais has teased what what he might have said if he were hosting the 2025 Golden Globes.
The well-known humorist, aged 63, recognized for his daring and frequently contentious comedy style, previously hosted the esteemed awards on five occasions.
This time around, the responsibility for hosting the event has been given to comedian Nikki Glaser. She will be the one leading the ceremony this coming Sunday.
Instead of delivering the monologue himself, Gervais decided to post his prepared jokes on X, allowing fans a sneak peek of what he would have said.
Sharing a picture of him relaxing in the bathtub, he penned: “Pondering over potential lines if I were to host The Golden Globes this coming Sunday. This year has provided plenty of interesting topics for my speech.
Later on, the creator of The Office unveiled some potential content, allowing fans to envision the biting and thought-provoking style that made him well-known for his provocative sets.
He penned: ‘Hello, and welcome to the 82nd Golden Globe awards. What a year it’s been.
A multitude of performers eagerly seized the opportunity to visit The Vatican and encounter The Pope. Several were from Hollywood.
‘Obviously they weren’t content with only being part of the 2nd biggest pedo ring in the world…’
He went on to say, “Justin Timberlake was found guilty of driving under the influence. Had he served time in prison, he would have likely heard the phrase ‘Sexy Back’ much more frequently.
Later, Ricky focused his attention on Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, remarking: ‘Kevin Hart stated that attending one of Diddy’s parties made him uneasy because Diddy wouldn’t stop bothering him. In the end, he had to exclaim, “I’m a dwarf, not a kid!”‘
Supporters lauded the humorist for his sharp intelligence, and some expressed disappointment that he didn’t host the main event. Their posts read: “If only you were hosting tonight… Wow!
‘We were robbed; We should have had him as host’
‘Ricky never disappoints’
‘you’re on fire tonight!’
‘You never disappoint. HILARIOUS!’
‘Omg, keep them coming. So funny. ‘
Ricky previously hosted the Golden Globes in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2016 and 2020.
2020 saw a monologue that sparked the most debate in the history of the Golden Globes. This year’s speech targeted Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein, and the Hollywood community that’s currently “woke.
Following his final hosting engagement, Ricky articulated his rationale for his roasts, stating, “Should I cater to the 200 egos present or the 200 million viewers worldwide? There’s no question about it.
I have my speech prepared. My goal isn’t to spoil their evening; instead, I aim to entertain those watching from home.
As a comedy enthusiast, I find myself tasked with crafting seven minutes of fresh, top-notch jokes, ones I can’t reuse later. It’s indeed a substantial amount of effort for just seven minutes, but the reward is simply phenomenal. I’m talking about an audience that appreciates originality and wit like no other.
Unapologetic, Ricky countered the criticism directed towards his speech by asserting that he was merely portraying an audacious character while serving as the host.
He explained: ‘People know David Brent and Tony are characters.
They may not realize that my stand-up performances and my appearance at the Golden Globes are somewhat an act too. In these settings, I often portray a bold character, aiming to disrupt the enjoyable evening of the so-called liberal elite.
‘I’ve honed those jokes. I’ve made those jokes bulletproof.’
Hollywood however can rest easy for now as Ricky revealed he doesn’t want to host the show again.
He shared: “There’s a possibility that the Golden Globes might pay me £10m for just ten minutes of work, and honestly, it would be foolish and dishonest not to think about it.
Currently, after having done it five times, I found it progressively more enjoyable – I liked each instance, yet it improved further – however, I have no intention of doing it ever again.
I’ve requested them not to question me as I am open to being swayed, and that’s correct. However, it’s not a matter of principle for me.
