In this YouTube segment, Dennis Prager streams a series of excerpts from Ricky Gervais' 2020 Golden Globes hosting monologue and provides his live commentary. Gervais' jokes target Hollywood's lack of diversity in the "In Memoriam" segment, make dark references to Jeffrey Epstein, mock celebrity relationships (Leonardo DiCaprio, Prince Andrew), and launch a scathing critique of major tech and entertainment companies (Apple, Amazon, Disney) for their perceived "woke" posturing. He also ridicules award‑season political speeches, comparing award‑winners to activists like Greta Thunberg and warning against using the platform for moralizing. Prager reacts with surprise, amusement, and occasional moral framing, noting the audience's reactions and highlighting the sharpness of Gervais' satire. The segment concludes with Prager mentioning a New York Times article about PragerU, linking the discussion back to his own media platform.

Uh, the comedy arena is the one free outside of talk radio and the internet, or parts of the internet. And here was, uh, I played this earlier, the first hour. It is so good though, I want to play it again, from Ricky Gervais, MC at Golden Globe Awards.
We were going to do an in memoriam this year, but when I saw the list of people that had died, it wasn't diverse enough. It just, no, it was mostly white people, and I thought, nah, not on my on my watch. Maybe next year. Let's see what happens.
There were uncomfortable looks, really. I'm shocked that there was any laughter. I'm surprised he wasn't booed. The list of dead ones was not diverse enough. I mean, that's just brilliant. Play the next one.
Spoiler alert, season 2 is on the way. So in the end, he obviously didn't kill himself, just like Jeffrey Epstein. I know he's your friend, but I don't care.
That's really dark. Play the third one.
It wasn't the only epic movie. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, nearly 3 hours long. Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere, and by the end, his date was too old for him.
You've got to admit, that's funny.
Even Prince Andrew's like, come on, Leo, mate, you know. You're nearly 50, son.
And then a dig at Apple.
Apple roared into the TV game with a morning show, a superb drama. Yeah, a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing, made by a company that runs sweatshops in China. So, well, you say you're woke, but the companies you work for, I mean, unbelievable. Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service, you'd call your agent, wouldn't you? So if you— wait, wait, wait, that was a great line.
If ISIS started a streaming service, you would call your agent.
That's, that's pretty powerful. ISIS started a streaming service, you'd call your agent, wouldn't you? So if you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? You're in no position to lecture the public. About anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, right, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God, and then use the next quarter to get off the stage.
I mean, it's amazing that he did it. He said these things. I have to say, that was quite remarkable. All right. I'm gonna, I'm gonna go on here. Those of you just tuning in, the New York Times had a very long piece on PragerU.
