Ricky Gervais Really, Went There With His Caitlyn Jenner Joke at the Globes

The Golden Globes crash-landed into LA on Sunday night, drawing hoards of stars to the red carpet. The show was off to an interesting start with Ricky Gervais’s quite edgy opening monologue; he pulled out an on-the-line Caitlyn Jenner joke right out the gate. During the speech, Ricky mused, “I’ve changed. Not as much as Bruce Jenner, obviously. Now Caitlyn Jenner, of course. 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.”
