You can't cancel a man who makes his money out of being against most of how society works . If they try to cancel him he'll come back with a series of jokes that cancels the one who tries to cancel him and people will still buy tickets to see him because his audience is on his side. He's already rich and has a big audience of people who share his point of view. You can only cancel someone who basically "lies" to their audience , presents themselves as being in a way then the cancel society shows everyone who they really are. With Ricky people would do nothing but laugh at the attempt
@Marty Key 3 years, 7 years, 11 years, 12 years and 13 years ago.. Yes those were the days when it was interesting to watch.. I don't think there's a certain timeframe when something is allowed to be referred to as "Those were the days" 🤣 But apparently there is, so please enlighten us??!! 🙅♀
Most people felt visibly uncomfortable with the bare truth spilled right into their faces, but I loved how well Scorsese, Streep, and Dicaprio took his jokes. 👌🏼😄
Marty Scorsese - a director most of those people would kill to work with - was laughing the hardest, even when he was the butt of the jokes. Class act.
@AlexandreG All of you try to make it look like the ones you liked laughed a lot and the ones you dont like didnt. But the truth is you havent got a clue. Only very little footage of reactions from the audience. Thats the truth. So stop all your judgemental garbage toward others.
@Dave W He's an a-hole in real life and just as entitled as the rest, just because he's saying something that makes you feel better about being on the outside looking in doesn't make him a saint
@Steve not everyone can be successful and rich. The point is that Ricky doesn't preach to anyone, doesn't make himself out as a martyr as so many of these luvvies do.
@nostromo79 Ohhhhh yesss! Mr. George Carlin is an all-time favorite! With Gervais, I meant we still have comedians present who are keeping the same tone and comedy style alive especially in this shitty “woke” day and age.
Have you watched any George Carlin from his later years of standup? He mercilessly skewered the so-called compassionate conservatives and like Gervais he wasn't kidding one bit.
Ricky, always a master at telling it like it is. So witty, funny and original. Love you Ricky, keep up the good work with your animal charities. Some of us have a sense of humor and can appreciate your unique and brutally honest humor.
Hi Sonia I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
@Mikey Morales ‘1331’ You got that backwards guy. What was so predictable about Bill Hicks, Eddie Murphy, Lenny Bruce and Rodney Dangerfield? I'm guessing you didn't live here in Britain, we use laughter cue cards too. Gervais is overrated and overweight, that's predictable. Next you gonna tell me he's a better comic than Robin Williams 30 years of stand up comedy?
I don’t get tired of seeing this amazing performance. To have the balls to go up there and do what he did it’s incredible. He is already rich, he produces his own comedy and shows and he needs no one. That’s why he can do what he does because many people in Hollywood would love to destroy him for his honesty.
@Southern Born okay but he's a sick individual, he's no hero for saying this stuff he's just for once speaking truth. Only to confuse us. This man sold his soul to become what he is
@Austin Paquin I can assure you that I’m awake. Ricky Gervais didn’t become a celebrity in the US Hollywood system. He also didn’t get famous until he did a lot of work in England, I believe he was in his late 30’s. He uses his earned money for his projects, producing, acting, and directing them himself. His Golden Globe monologue was priceless. And he is still famous after he did it. He is still producing HIS work.
3:38 Listen to that whole crowd's reaction to a joke that is the absolute truth. Ricky Gervais is an international treasure and a gift to humanity I swear. Especially because he used plugging his show (which is actually really damn good) as a way to make a joke that's actually carrying with it a very truthful statement, one that was and still is being covered up to this day. The crowd reacted the same way about virtually all of his "jokes" about how they're all predators.
@usagi18 indeed that's the key.....to comedy. Being victimised by famous pedophiles isn't funny. He's drawing attention, with laughs, to a situation most people and most famous people avoided totally.
You can see who was personally offended and who was laughing along. It does speak volumes when he is calling them out for some awful shit, it's almost like admitting he's right

I remember being told that having a tight grip of morality, often makes you right…but having a tight grip of reality makes you honest! That’s exactly the philosophy I get from Gervais. Love it, and him 😂😂😂
Dead right. but I mean people do shameful things. I like people who admit their wrong/did a wrong. Over people who don't admit it anyday (but that scales from level of seriousness of what they did). This is what rly pisses me off though. people who know did a wrong but no apology, no nothing, not even any self accountability/honesty, no self aware/honesty. you know what I do with these people, I treat them like nothing.. nothing on earth, not even a cup of coffee, a word nothingg. I mean anyone is not man enough to realize own mistakes and openly Admit it (how bad it is). arrrhh pisses me off soooo badddd. ends up where other guy (I don't care/give a shit about victim/bully mentality). ends up having to take the FALL instead. and then when attacked they'll self justify their own position when their such a hideyhole. why I have so much respect for people who DO actually admit their wrong/admit it to the other person and THEMSELVES. Ill never help anyone who is hideyhole ever.. (until they Out with it, which is never). cause it pisses me off so bad, their lieing to themselves, lieing to me. and lieing to the world. I could NEVER be that guy. and I have done some shameful things (but not level of Hollywood), and I always admitted/outed it that I was responsible and made steps to account for it, over pushing it off wayside for someone else to deal with (that you wont account for). still wrong, but wayy lesser of evils. (than opposite). its like self-insulttt admit when do that.
@The WhiteKobra Thank you for the personal attack. We were missing some of that childishness in this argument. Being able to laugh at yourself over such a situation shows that you don’t care that much about what image you present of yourself and shows you don’t think of yourself as a god or something of the sort.
This is what Hollywood needs to hear. See how quiet and uncomfortable they all were with all this reality check. Alot of celebrities idolize themselves and need to be brought down to reality.
@Welch Productions you sound so stuck up and frustrated. You also never gave a example of an american. So his statement eventhough meant as hyperbole rings even more true lol
@Chris Wyatt Oh dear, opened up a can of worms, have n't l ?!! My OC was tongue in cheek but l honestly think Americans will take from the Brits what they won't take from their own. Does that make sense? Not dissing anybody but l just think that THEY think we are more quirky and daring in our humour. Think it goes back to Monty Python and Cook and Moore in the 60s/70s. Ricky was on The View and he seems to jell with Whoopi and the other ladies.
It's crazy and scary how he just nailed it on the spot and the camera knew who to point it at... scary indeed how uncomfortable they look by hearing familiar things getting called out.
This never gets old! 😅Thank you Ricky Gervais for your absolute authenticity 👍 Never stop telling it how it is and being real and transparent! Love ya guts mate!!
Ricky Gervais , Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr. These are the people who, no matter how hard some people try, they can't be cancelled and gotten rid of. They're offensive as all get out but they're also brutally honest and people want that in this day and age and that's why those guys are winners.
What a sense of liberation and levity he must have felt saying all this! Only a comedian with a great talent and guts can probably get this feeling without being immediately violently attacked. I wish I could experience this feeling too, must be so uplifting:)) imagine having politicians doing this:)
I love how perfectly Ricky described what he was doing here, while he was on the view. Where he isn't performing for the 200 egos in the room, but rather that he was performing for the 200 million people watching who aren't millionaires and who aren't winning awards. It's honestly the nicest thing that a comedian can do for us.
Totally agree. The "let's have a laugh - at your expense" sums up beautifully and ironically what the function of roasting is. Hollywood should thank him for it. He literally gave life support to the industry.
@Bamboo Shoot Yeah, we all heard wills excuse. No excuse whatsoever. Guy gave a political weasely apology where he made it all about himself of course.
Will hit Chris because he felt he could. Will wouldn't have hit Ricky because Ricky doesn't embody anything negative in Will's life. Chris, being black, did. At that moment Chris embodied Will's abusive father, and having just portrayed a father in _'King Richard'_ who was unafraid, Will felt compelled to *take a stand.* 88% of violent crimes happen with 1 person of one race hurting or ending the life of a person of the same race.
@Kathy Hix since I said I don't disagree then logic states that I would agree with it. However I also agree with the fact that you like to argue in circles.
@dosken Android is primarily developed by Google as is Chrome OS so I'm not sure where you're going with that. It has a Linux kernel built into it but it's mainly developed under Google.
I just will never tire of watching this.. The man is a genius and the Judy Dench joke has me in tears... Everything Ricky touches turns to gold his work is second to none , wish he was Prime Minister genuinely haha
When I first watched this, “the two Popes” joke was one of the few times I’ve ever been left breathless from laughing so much. I was literally gasping for air looking at Jonathan Pryce’s face.

He is 100 times more brutal than Rock was.. I hope that people see this because THIS is what comedy is supposed to be and has always been! And it's hillarious! Stop finding every opportunity to be offended. This was gold
@Frank Uvlkan Hey Frank, Is it with regret that I inform you I'm actually a straight 19-year old male. I do however like to think I have a beautiful heart, and appreciate the complement nevertheless, especially considering you don't normally write in the comment section. I'd say God bless you too but I don't really think there is one. Have a lovely day
Not only BRUTAL, but still EPIC, as he exposed them all to their faces as they squirmed in their chairs while he roasted them with truth...This was so needed not only for us, but even more for them.
Yes, they were squirming. The expression on Tom Hanks face was priceless. Hanks and half the audience was wondering, “Will I be next”??? Great job Ricky G!
Jesus, this is soo overblown. Its such a cliche to hate on every actor and lump them all together lol Its such a twisted, irrational and confused logic. Theres assholes in Hollywood no doubt forsure but just as there is assholes outside Hollywood. For example people stereotyping someone over a profession and being self righteous ranting in comment sections as if they walk in the footsteps of jesus, wink wink
I watched this live - I was super lucky because I never watch shows like this - my jaw hit the floor...WITH LAUGHTER. I thought it was SIMPLY BRILLIANT!!!
@Ted Nicklas So true elect The Egomaniacs they are easier to fool , but wise ones stay out of politics to much lying, stealing and stupidity in both parties,
@Light Up Not really because of that, but because of certain attitudes. If you see sports like Football you can see most top players are super humble, introverts, they are knowhere as "public" as actors and don't feel that important. Also a lot of them come from poor backgrounds so they know what is like to be at the bottom and respect it. A lot of people from hollywood are simply privileged since minute one, and like Ricky said, they have no knowledge of the real world but still talk about it. This is not about their talent, they are really talented, but when they seem to be above the rest of the people just because they choose that career, while at the same time having horrible morals it's what bothers people.
Its ridiculous tho. This is a roast it was funny. But comment sections are such a tiny minority. They are thousands of people that hate actors for being rich and famous and generalize them as being narcissistic and assholes out of envy and bitterness. Meanwhile millions dont care about this and just enjoy their work and films and thats why the actors are rich and famous lol its really silly to hate someone over their job. The equivalent of hating an athlete or musician for being famous and rich lol Their wealth and fame was created by the public
