Ricky Gervais has offered Chris Rock some advice amid calls for him to step down as host of the 2016 Oscars after the #OscarsSoWhite has resurfaced for the second year in a row.

“If I were @chrisrock, I wouldn’t be considering boycotting The Oscars. I’d be thinking ‘this sh*t is live. I can do some serious damage.’ Ricky, who has hosted the Golden Globes for many years, offered up on his Twitter account.

Chris has so far not truly responded to all of the controversy. He did tweet, “The #Oscars. The White BET Awards.”

The 2016 Academy Awards are set to air on February 28.

Ricky Gervais is firing back at critics over his Caitlyn Jenner joke at the 2016 Golden Globes.

“I’m going to be nice tonight. I’ve changed – not as much as Bruce Jenner. Obviously. Now Caitlyn Jenner, of course,” Ricky said in his joke on Sunday evening. “What a year she’s had! She became a role model for trans people everywhere, showing great bravery in breaking down barriers and destroying stereotypes. She didn’t do a lot for women drivers. But you can’t have everything, can ya? Not at the same time.”

When Ricky realized his joke sparked a lot of outrage, he tweeted, “Suggesting a joke about Caitlin Jenner is automatically transphobic is like suggesting a joke about Bill Cosby is automatically racist.”

The show received a 5.5 rating among adults 18-49, which means that 5.5% of all television-equipped households in that key demographic were tuned in.

The biggest broadcast on Sunday (January 10) however was the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins NFC Wildcard game, which averaged a 25 rating, according to THR.

Mel Gibson and Ricky Gervais shared possibly one of the most awkward moments at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards and you can watch the full video right here.

After the host introduced Mel to the stage, the actor made a joke at Ricky‘s expense, which prompted him to come back on stage.

Ricky then whispered something into Mel‘s ear, but it got bleeped on the live show. “What the f�” does sugar�”s mean?” he said.

If you’re wondering what he is referring to, when Mel was being arrested for a DUI in 2006, he said to a female police officer, “what do you think you’re looking at, sugar t�”s?”

The entire room couldn’t believe when Ricky Gervais whispered quite the phrase into Mel Gibson‘s ear at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday (January 10) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Alan Cumming had an amazing reaction when he saw Ricky whisper to Mel – he simply looked shocked and put his hands over his mouth!

And if you missed it, find out what Ricky actually said to Mel.

Ricky Gervais had the job of introducing presenter Mel Gibson to the stage at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday (January 10) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“I want to say something nice about Mel before he comes out. Here we go. I’d rather have a drink with him at his hotel room tonight than with Bill Cosby,” he said before bringing him to the stage.

When Mel came out, he said, “I love seeing Ricky once every three years because it reminds me to get a colonoscopy.

Ricky then came back on stage and said, “Can I ask you a question? I think we all want to ask you this.” He then whispered in Mel‘s ear, but what he said was censored.

Los Angeles Times reporter Amy Kaufman was in the crowd and she tweeted that what Ricky said was, “What the f–k does sugart–s even mean?”
