Ricky Gervais Reveals the Jokes He’d Make if Hosting the 2025 Golden Globes

by

As a long-time fan of Ricky Gervais and his unapologetic wit, I must say it’s a bit disappointing to see him sitting on the sidelines this year as the Golden Globes host. His unique ability to skewer the Hollywood elite with razor-sharp jokes has always been a highlight of the event for me.

Imagine my delight when I saw he was musing about what he would say if he were hosting! The man’s imagination never ceases to amaze me. His proposed opening monologue, filled with his characteristic biting humor and spot-on observations, would have left the audience in stitches.

But alas, Nikki Glaser will be gracing us with her presence as host this year. I’ve heard she’s quite good at dishing out the jokes herself, having performed at several televised roasts. I’m curious to see how she handles the task of keeping the Hollywood elite on their toes.

In any case, I’ll be tuning in to the Golden Globes this Sunday, eagerly awaiting the first laugh of the night. And as a final thought, I can’t help but wonder what Ricky Gervais would say if he were hosting and someone asked him about his absence: “Well, they said I couldn’t come back until I got my own statue. Turns out, it wasn’t a Golden Globe…it was a Razzie!

Ricky Gervais shares his ideas for starting the 82nd Golden Globe Awards ceremony, should he have the opportunity to host once more on Sunday.

As a five-time Globes host, I’ve seen it all – the highs, the lows, and everything in between. On Friday, I pondered X, reflecting on my extensive experience in the industry. And as the ideas began to flow, one particularly intriguing concept emerged.

Reflecting on what I would express if I were hosting The Golden Globes this coming Sunday, he penned down. ‘This year has been quite eventful for my script,’ he said. Translating to: “Greetings and welcome to the 82nd Golden Globe ceremony! What a year we’ve had! Countless entertainers were eager to visit The Vatican to meet The Pope. A significant number of them hailing from Hollywood, it seems they weren’t satisfied with just being part of the world’s second-largest scandal involving child exploitation…

He additionally made this subsequent remark: “If Justin Timberlake had served time for DUI, he would have heard the phrase ‘Sexy Back’ much more frequently.

Indeed, on Sundays, comedian Nikki Glaser serves as the main host. She’s well-known for her bold humor and isn’t shy about poking fun at celebrities. In fact, she showcased this talent during various televised roasts, one notable example being last year’s Netflix roast of Tom Brady, which she believes helped secure her role as the Golden Globes host.

Glaser recently commented on being compared to Gervais and noted how she will be different.

She assured everyone, “I won’t push boundaries so much that anyone might find it offensive. I’ve purposely avoided doing so, and I don’t aim to mimic Ricky Gervais. I’m not him, and this is my inaugural Golden Globes event, while he was at his last one. He was quite bold on his final show, ready to sever ties if necessary… The celebrities need not worry because this is a wonderful chance for them to display their humor and appear appealing.

The Golden Globes air live Sunday on CBS and stream on Paramount+ at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
