To much cheer among many on social media user, Gervais also included a “Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself joke”.
The most iconic line from the monologue came when he took on the virtue signalling woke culture of some Hollywood stars by stating, “If ISIS started a streaming service, you would call your agent. So if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech”.
“You are in no position to lecture the public about anything, You don’t know the first thing about the real world and most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win come up, accept your award, thank your agent and your god and f*** off”, Gervais added.
