David Letterman - Ricky Gervais and The Golden Globes

[basjar2]

...Says the guy that banned Bill Hicks

[EJLSWE]

most english comedians aren't that funny these days, ricky being the exception perhaps, what I like most about the englishman is that he takes the piss out of hollywood, as letterman says "are they so special?" no...

[brainimp]

@EJLSWE Ricky Gervais is funny without a doubt but come on there is plenty of Great English Comics, I'd go as far to say If I compiled a Top 20 of the Current Best British Stand Up Comics Ricky Would not make it.

[TheSonorama21]

@brainimp

Yeah, there are still a lot of great English comedians, I mean I'd probably put Gervais on my top 20 but that's a matter of opinion. I dunno where EJLSWE is coming from with a comment like that...

[yorkshiremikey]

does david letterman understand that punchlines for jokes don't make sense by themselves

[smugbastarddd]

I was gonna watch this, but then I was forced an add so I decided to go to HULU.com, they're allowing to skip ads, yay. Goodbye Youtube.

[ireternalexistence]

I have a newfound respect for Letterman now.

[taffelost]

Letterman is clearly an intelligent man. No doubt about that. I like comedians that are funny but can also critize society or have an underlying theme. Much like Jon Stewart.

[MrCreativeperson]

Comedians do stick up for one another, Ricky rules

[longnp1]

to all the young and unemployed twits who either hate or just loved letterman because of this clip: you neither deserve to be employed nor young. redemption? throw up all the shit you've been swallowing for years...

[recentdan123]

Just like Ricky Gervais, David Letterman is also a legend

[Linedash]

why do film stars make so much money? because they draw the crowds, aiding the brainwashing. people worship film stars like gods. when infact they are cunts who deserve to get the shit ripped out them. get a real job fuckers. and to the sheep-wake up

[pppppatrikkkkk]

Yeah, and you had a problem with Bill Hicks you hypocrite. Who wants to watch David Letterman?

[theodorelaurence]

@pppppatrikkkkk He also apologized for the Bill Hicks thing. It was back when he was first on CBS, headlining his own show, and admitted he made a mistake by censoring him and had his mother on. People grow, you might want to try it.

[pppppatrikkkkk]

@theodorelaurence I know all about the apology, I watched it. What I was saying was that I am not impressed by Letterman at all, and never have been, and if he any brains in his head he would let Hicks say anything he wanted, because that is where the edge was. Don't forget, Letterman had his professional scout follow Hicks around to a bunch of shows, and talk with him (there's a clip of that on YT as well). In the end it was purely Letterman who folded like a coward.

[thetweaksband]

could not agree more with letterman. people who are offended by ricky gervais are simply too stupid. yes his quips are at people's expense but if they've got half a brain then they should figure out that it is a JOKE.

[mzxrules]

BREAKING NEWS! Miracle girl Gabby GIVES HUSBAND massage?

[RJtheCunning]

wow.... that Amazing Race game looks terrible.

[TheKamanick]

@RJtheCunning Haha damn right!

[yiyo2008monte]

Good one Dave!!

[hannessvensson]

Never really cared for Letterman before but things can really change in 2 minutes :)

[dunjica77]

@hannessvensson

I had the exact same reaction seeing this!

[sinister066]

clicked on this clip reluctantly as i thought letterman was gonna tear into gervais for his jokes but, like gervais, he told it like it is. get over it! superstars of hollywood and take a joke at your expence, now and then.

[Charlot1914]

I just became a fan of Letterman

[nimitz1943]

The cientologist that I know of who has had, for years, the reputation of not admitting to be gay is Tom Cruise. Also, Tom Cruise is also very agressive when he sees/hears these sort of remarks. So when Ricky says his lawyers helped him to write the joke, I assume it is true and to avoid beeing sued buy Tom Cruise

[Kasino80]

I seriously thought that star trek add was part of the Letterman show...wow that was bad

[TheMrmi22]

l can't make out what the 2 crossed jokes are at 1:41

[iWigY]

@TheMrmi22 Lawyers..

[DannyBoy777]

Letterman FTW!

[massampage]

Its official, Ricky is doing 2012 Golden Globes <3

[AlexisCapri]

How can people STILL be complaining about YouTube ads?

1) Firefox

2) Adblock add-on

3) No ads again ever.

The above info has been all over YouTube for 5 years!

[gerby90]

@AlexisCapri its actually the first time i've heard about that, honest.

[AsifIcarebear3]

@AlexisCapri Without adds there is no youtube. Don't spread that info any more than already, even though it's well known.

[nimitz1943]

I think letterman didn't read 2 of the jokes that were shown next to ricky's picture. Maybe one of them was the one about tom cruise?

[Kasino80]

@nimitz1943 wasn't about John Travolta?

[StompInPuddles]

So Letterman is reading Ricky Gervais' jokes on his show to get laughs.

[theodorelaurence]

@StompInPuddles He's defending him, idiot.

[TheMrmi22]

l like him

[Throthgar]

I had never seen an episode of Letterman before watching this clip, I don't think it's ever on Telly here.

But he guy seems smart and down to earth. Definitely want to see more of this!

Too right - they are a bunch hugely paid actors and actresses. The press wants to suck up to them so much they condemn anyone who makes a few jokes?

I mean really, they are sitting in a room congratulating and awarding themselves on their movies. If that doesn't deserve having taken the piss of what does?

[mrfrenik]

I'm American. Much respect to Letterman for this. Gervais FTW.

[TheYTChronicles]

Why the hell do I have to see an advert for K-Mart when I'm in England?

[wastagwaga]

if you look closely to the magazine, dave crossed out some of ricky's quotes.

[stereoinferno666]

@wastagwaga It's a broadcasting trick. When you're going to read something directly from a newspaper, magazine etc, you cross out surrounding sentences, so your eye can quickly find the part you're about to read aloud.

[wastagwaga]

@stereoinferno666 yeah that's one way to look at it.

[johnnyrose666]

if you want me to watch your ads at least make them interesting, Are internet ads so boring because you cant avoid them, like changing the channel? Idiots, I can still mute you while waiting for the video to start. Make a better job twats

[woodzyist]

letterman you the man an love your show

[nextjdrockefeller]

They want to ban Ricky Gervais from telling some of his jokes. Next year they should invite Jimmy Carr to the Globes, let's see what they are going to ban him from telling.

[Surfeit85]

From the man who dropped Bill Hicks. I don't know what to believe here.

[Iksbrown]

@Surfeit85

Guess he had a change of heart. He even aired that last Bill Hicks standup later.

[samesongtwice]

30 second add to watch a 2 minute clip? Fuck you, CBS.

[samesongtwice]

30 second add to watch a 2 minute clip? Fuck you, CBS.

[xwingclass]

well done dave. absulutely correct.

[multistefanio1]

i - know, advertizers----diklikers



[lgee191]

Respect!

[pietrrocks]

Schaeffer that guy crawls so far up lettermanss arse, 'Oh please Letterman dont sack me Ill agree with everything you say. I cant help it if Im a spineless wanker with no opinions - especially those that may disagree with yours so Ill just agree with everything you say - in advance!!'

[DinkerTinker1]

I totally agree. Why are these hollywood people/celebs so fucking stiff? Come on, Gervais rules.

[HENJAM48]

Apart from the fact that, even though I'm in Brisbane Australia, youtube has decided I'm the perfect candidate for a Macy's Thanks Giving Sale commercial, I have to say that THIS is why I've always liked David Letterman. He doesn't take anything too seriously. Good one Dave...

[LORDUnLuCkY13]

If I was making the amount of money Hollywood actors do, you can be sure I wouldn't moan about a few jokes at my expense.

[gened216]

21 people are actors from the golden globes

[iloveneytiri]

Brilliant. Another Bieber ad for another Letterman/Gervais clip!! Wankers.

[Lunawhynot]

The viewing audience in America loved Ricky Gervais jokes. He was the only good thing about the show. Only the soft skinned hollywood crowd were offended.

[sparkyinbath]

@Lunawhynot I didn't. He's not half as funny as he used to be.

[shyguy778]

lol and then fast forward about 10 months to the host of the next Golden Globe awards lmao hahahaha Oh the irony ...

[FranBMan]

Big love Letterman!

[SupaSix1]

At least letterman has a sense of humour.

Breaking news BTW......The brilliant Ricky Gervais has just been confirmed once again to host the 2012 Golden Globes!!!!

-Fantastic news!

[ozzyrocks666]

god bless david letterman

[JRHartly1984]

Letterman just went up in my estimations!

[b2ferrara]

Guess what? He's baaaaaack! Can't wait to watch Ricky again.

[cruzbohy]

its just British humor in america, they cant handle it

[iGotSpaceLikeNASA]

@cruzbohy I don't think that many Americans were offended, its mostly the media getting their panties in a knot over it.

[maroonoasis]

@cruzbohy derp

[ianwilson2007]

Don't normally like Letterman that much but he's won my respect with this rant. Totally on the button.

[nrjelley]

Nice to see at least one American has a sense of humour!

[rjgundy]

Letterman, the voice of reason as usual.

[kplatoon]

fucking adds,fuck off

[dravidr007]

@kplatoon install adblock for firefox....best thing since e=mc^2

[JuanOfaKind88]

@kplatoon ITS CALLED ADBLOCKER PLUS...takes about as much time as your comment being typed, stop complaining to YOUTUBE...you get FREE videos!!!

[loveallthepeople1000]

@JuanOfaKind88 piss off you corporate hack. ad's soil everything.

[JuanOfaKind88]

@loveallthepeople1000 HA, I laugh at your username, it's quite funny. "Corporate hack" says the guy who's typing this on his PC or Laptop. You own a phone?....yeah thought so.

[Nilgard]

@kplatoon Get Google AdBlock. Google it, you'll find it ;)

[nmryda]

@kplatoon adblock plus. google it and Drizzy Drake me (thank me later)

[squidbabies]

@kplatoon

Addblocker, my friend. I haven't seen an add in years

[grumtek]

@kplatoon That's what the add-on Adblock Plus is for. Works great!

[Phenomatron]

@kplatoon called adblock works for youtube too lol

[scrunts666]

Americans invent the comedy roast, become unbeatable at it, are proud of it and the people who pioneered it, make an entire TV show of it and then one man from Reading (my home town) comes along and pays tribute to the brilliant concept and gets condemned. WTF ??? Ricky, you are a total genius and represent the humour of England so well. Shame about the shitty parts you played in that crappy museum movie though :p (ok, personal dig but total waste of Mr Gervais)

[draussie]

Letterman telling it like it is. Good for you.

[stephenmyers99]

2.07 onwards. 'Nuff said.

[slickvguy]

Great stuff, Letterman. Bravo. Good on you.

[emily100094]

Nice one letterman :)

[CumInAsses]

fuck you CBS with your ads

[blorganon]

Wow, I used to think David Letterman was a douche. Couldn't be more wrong.

[JackHillcox]

Just shows how far hollywood is up its own arse!

[ajax201000]

if they dont want people takng the piss stop doing stupid things in public, the whiney cry babies

[MyWisdomTeethHurt]

Ricky Gervais is a God

[Arogaz]

hear, hear

[johnnyanfield]

well done dave, ricky at the golden globes was classic.

[anagpur]

PAUL.....

[Blomsternisse]

Paul Shaffer is such a bitch

[Wallonische]

Thanks letterman for sticking up for us english! hats off mate 

[lumpheadthump]

@Wallonische He wasn't sticking up for the English, he was sticking up for fucking brilliant comedy. There isn't enough of it these days.

[abbassisol]

yes mate!!!

[tizmond]

Well said Letterman.

[afrity]

Is that second voice we hear coming from inside David's head??

[lucu01]

Come on, the stars that got slagged off - it was only the truth ! Hahaha, Letterman, he is a very clever man, actually most comedians are, they have to be

[aleksnerandzicaleks]

Who's on the show with Dave at the time?

[xSipi]

Why is Letterman wearing glasses when he hae to take them off to read?

[zack11993]

@xSipi Because he's short sighted.

[Ieatsoyabeans]

I just fell in love with Letterman

[br0mbie]

RICKY GERVAIS IS GOD

[GustafGouda]

ricky done in show business? just because he probably won't host the golden globes anymore? people who believe that might also think that christoph waltz was a newcomer. self-centered americans...

[wesmatron]

@GustafGouda What's even funnier is that these people think he gives two-shits whether he hosts it or not. He's made more money than he can spend and has a history of making quality produce. I think he can live without glitter and glitz....plus his fans don't care what Hollywood thinks. Hollywood means nothing outside Hollywood. they only matter to themselves...people in the real world couldn't care less.

[meshen85]

Ohhh, go de-ice your pole!

[termuralliance]

Yeah Letterman!

[wesmatron]

Actors taking themselves too seriously...LOL...as bed as Chefs...You want our adoration because you can put things in a pan?

Get a grip.

Want heroes? Worship nurses, doctors, firemen etc.

[VivaLaCris123]

@wesmatron WORSHIP them no thank you:)

[wesmatron]

@VivaLaCris123 Oh I don't know....get the right nurse... ;)

[Sweeney1988]

GO ON DAVE SON, TELL IT LIKE IT IS BIG LAD!

[AnonymousAscendent]

It's the same thing that happened with Kanye West and Taylor Swift. Everyone was freaking out about how rude Kanye was, and how they will never listen to Kanye again, and how he destroyed Taylor Swift's life. I was like, did I miss something? That's fucking hilarious.

[freelancehero]

Big ups to Letterman for this.

[RubinaC1]

I LOVE RICKY GERVAIS! & Letterman speaks sense AND the truth! ahaha :))

[anubis1974]

Davids at that point in his career where he can say pretty much whatever he wants and get away with it. I really like his show now. Good for you Dave! I agree, when did award shows become so sacred and holy? Get over youself Hollywood!

[wailor123]

I guess the reason why Letterman didn't mention the joke about Heffner and his girlfriend is because Letterman can be the victim of the same joke.

[swfc13]

haha letterman. what a legend!

[keerkhor]

Ricky Gervais just kept it real and knocked those stuck up millionaire hollywood phonies down a notch!

[TRYER25]

The End "Thank god for making me an atheist"

[uiruu]

@TRYER25 So?

[TRYER25]

@uiruu The best part of the Globes.

[LogaFilms]

For all of you complaining about ads, one word: Adblock!

[daddyV88]

are u serious? a 30 sec commercial before every video

[GoneSk8n99]

i had to think about the ashton kutcher joke for a second then i started cracking up

[mihaimoldo]

After Ricky hosted the awards, some fucktard from the Golden Globes, said in the papers, that none of Ricky's future films, will EVER be nominated for a GGA.

This shows how much of an award it is, political and corrupt.

[mbrad85]

Why do I feel like I'm being punished by watching youtube with all of these commericals.

[NYC26Lawyer]

he removed his reading glasses every time he read

[serrato32]

@NYC26Lawyer Probably because he is near sighted and cannot see far away but can see up close

[NYC26Lawyer]

@serrato32 ah true. :)

[mrjingles799]

Kudos Letterman, they were great gags. Hope they see some sense and get him back. Or maybe the Oscars?

[Tokyorosebiz]

See what has happened to our Great Country Check Out THE PARTY OF SLEAZE by TOKYO ROSE

[LostFREEDOM]

hes a genious

[Cla900]

just earned my respect for david letterman...

[SicSeb]

Freedom of Speech anyone?!

[jclarin]

Paul Shaffer needs to shut the fuck up.

[MrStewart149]

if frankie boyle did the globes they would think he was the anti christ .....

[CammieBlueSky]

Amen David. AMEN!!

[mrlufernandovc]

Let's all start a movement! Ricky Gervais to host the Oscars!!!

[Tork15]

I have an incredible respect-boner for David Letterman right now.

[theAnneb1995]

For the first time I totally agree with Letterman!

[subsection8]

@docmontecristo BEST IDEA EVER!!!

[kebabrullemums]

letterman is the man

[Alsaba03]

looooooooooool

[Crazie982467]

Lettermen was unusually funny and smart here. Most old people get offended very easily by people like Ricky, but I'm happy to see Lettermen being insightful for once. Because honestly, Ricky is a genius.

[10cathrun]

Absolutely right. Give Gervais a lifetime contract to host the Golden Globes and bring those phonies down to earth. The guy is funny. And Letterman is right, "go de-ice your poles". Most of Hollywood is trash that's only one step away from appearing on either "COPS" or "Celebrity Rehab". They're silly actors who need to learn to laugh at themselves.

[EmPkay]

hollywood can't take a joke... they'll only buy them.

[philateliceun]

did you hear he actually wanted to come on stage in a hitler costume waving and such and then acting suprised by the crowds reaction and then saying "You don't think this matches? ugh,,, I am never going to borrow a suite from Mel Gibson again"

XDXDXDXD

[onedOLlarDuDE]

@philateliceun

That would have been so brilliant... Too bad you can't pull off that kinda stuff in that oversensitive country.

[DulBeat]

You don't hire Ricky Gervais to suck up to people. What did they think he'd say?

[Westy91]

Me neighbour had a horse in her house.

[Gibson889]

Jesus Paul Schafer STFU LOL

[nazbuk]

oh man i love Letterman and Ricky Gervais

[dude157]

Big respect to letterman for this. The man speaks sense

[KungPowCheekin]

ricky gervais is genius how could people have such a tasteless sense of humor. ricky for president or better yet ricky for king of england

[MissLuvMovies]

@KungPowCheekin How come just England? I think Scotland deserves Ricky too! Better yet, Ricky for Ruler of the World!

[KungPowCheekin]

@MissLuvMovies ahaha scotland too!

[idkdudeidk]

Letterman is right award ceremonies are not sacared if you cant laugh at yourself how do you expect people to like you.

[kamilmytnik]

For once I completely agree with David Letterman.

[AzaJabbar]

Thank u Letterman!

[sneezingjulian]

They should have got Frankie Boyle to do it!

[OSS732]

Spot on David. Great comments.

[BumperMorgan]

I'm not a big fan of Dave but he's right-on! The institution of celebrity has gotten out of control.

[rush7777me7777]

yayayay david

[firestartertwistedfi]

Letterman may be a shit, but my goodness he's a good broadcaster.

[parkerthehicks]

who told you that? was it thompson? whoever it was, that's a LIE.
