"We watched the Ricky Gervais 'comedy' special on Netflix so you don't have to,"
"It's full of graphic, dangerous, anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes."
"Ricky Gervais, I love you for not being here. No, I love you, Ricky, because if you win, I get to accept the award on your behalf, and you're going to thank god and the trans community."
"[The winner is] Ricky Gervais, because he would like to thank God and the trans community,"
Wanda Sykes accepted Ricky Gervais's Golden Globe on his behalf after he did not attend the ceremony. She joked about Bill Maher and Brett Goldstein before delivering lines that mocked Gervais's absence and suggested he would thank God and the trans community if he won. Ricky Gervais has been publicly open about his atheism and frequently criticizes religion in stand-up and on social media. Recent material from Gervais drew accusations of being anti-trans, and GLAAD condemned his 2022 special SuperNature as "full of graphic, dangerous, anti-trans rants" while also citing "anti-gay rhetoric, and inaccurate statements on HIV."
