Ricky Gervais has no problem slamming the Emmys, despite the fact that they hired him to present at their show. The British funny-man took the stage at the Emmy Awards and he made some crazy remarks as usual. “So much better than the Golden Globes isn’t it?” he said. “It is isn’t it? You all are so nice and attentive, wishing you were at the Globes and be drinking probably.
I’ve just had a beer and it’s the only reason I agreed to hand out an Emmy … is so I could have a beer. They’ve flown me over for the big one Outstanding Director of a Variety Special, so good job this is live, because if it wasn’t, it wouldn’t make the edit!” Ouch! Do you think his joke went a bit too far?/hollywoodlife.com
