Gervais sparked controversy
Ricky Gervais hosted the 77th Annual Golden Globes Awards. Gervais has long been known for his harsh and unforgiving humour. Gervais sparked controversy at the Golden Globes award as he made a pointed remark about the death of alleged paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. While talking about Netflix series Afterlife he said that it is a show about a man who wants to kill himself and because season two is on the way so he didn't kill himself, just like Jeffrey Epstein. The audience gasped and didn't know how to react, however, Tom Hank's reaction was considered most hilarious by many internet users.
