Ricky Gervais reveals the risky Golden Globes jokes he'd have told about Justin Timberlake and jailed Diddy.

Ricky Gervais has given a teaser of the sorts of edgy jokes he would have made if he had been the host of the 2025 Golden Globes. In a post on his famous Twitter account, as he basked in the warmth of his bathtub, he brought to mind the moment with a healthy dose of his brand of humor and effrontery.

Having hosted the Golden Globes five times, Gervais is known for pushing the line at the show. The actual target was a bunch of jokes that would have rattled the cages of the most significant Hollywood names. One, however, involved Justin Timberlake, who calls to memory the singer's run-in with the law recently. If Timberlake had to spend time in the joint, it could have been with some incessant repetitiveness of "Sexy Back."

Nor did the funnyman spare any references to Sean "Diddy" Combs. He remembered how Kevin Hart was co-opted into one of Diddy's ostentatious parties and had to scream to everyone, "I'm a midget, not a child," in self-identification.

He was teasing his audience even as the event drew nearer with glimpses of jokes that could be used during the upcoming ceremony. This year's Golden Globes would be different since the focal person hosting the event is, indeed, a woman, Nikki Glaser, as she takes the stage all by herself for the first time in history. Gervais might be absent from the scene as this tale unfolds, but his controversial and bolder humor lives on in the voices talking about awards show happenings, leaving many to wonder what could have been.
