Ricky Gervais Defends His Caitlyn Jenner Jokes, Is 1000% Not Sorry

Since his Golden Globes hosting gig earlier this week, Ricky Gervais has been catching a lot of heat from people claiming that the Caitlyn Jenner jokes in his opening monologue were transphobic. He said of the star:

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 you?”

Odds that the Globes will ask him back again next year after all the publicity that he drew? High.
