But he was employed precisely because the organisers knew he'd give the audience a well earned kick up the arse that perhaps no American could get away with. I understand that he did what was expected ... I just felt it failed on the 'comedy' part for my taste ... just insults really. His 'comedy' always seems to be stuck in creating awkward moments. Rog In my opinion the comedy was entirely secondary - the awkward moments those in the audience felt can be nothing compared to the 'awkward moments' they facilitated for the likes of Epstein and Weinstein. After all, a little discomfort and hometruths can not compare to the downright criminal activity some there have been involved in. I wonder if it will be a bit of a watershed moment for a few more stars that until that night were held in the highest of esteem? I hope so, there was more than a couple that looked as though they wished the floor would open up and swallow them - or at the very least Gervais! NBC and Gervais did exactly what was needed at exactly the right time.

Gazza maybe right. I am sure NBC were fully aware of the script. Considering someone typed in into the autoqueue

I've heard of Ricky Gervais and seen a picture of him on a news website but have never been subjected to any of his humour.
I seem to assume he is amusing for some reason, perhaps erroneously.
I suppose one advantage of not having telly is the ability to avoid generic made for the platform stuff.
