Ricky Gervais

It is important to understand the real-world consequences of "jokes."

"Don't forget the dancing hamsters behind the desk!" Fellow 'The Office' fans dubbed one man's recreation of Michael Scott's desk "Perfectenschlag."

While Ricky Gervais has been labeled "transphobic" for his latest Netflix special "SuperNature," some members of the trans community have defended him.

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said Saturday that the company produces content for "a lot of diverse people who have different opinions and different tastes."

The comedian posted the comment to Twitter on Friday.

"Many people living with the condition are suffering, and we must do better to support this community," the National Alopecia Areata Foundation told Newsweek.

Ricky Gervais, who previously said he wouldn't have joked about Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia at the Oscars, has mocked those referring to it as a disability.

The controversial comedian said he would have joked about her "boyfriend" instead.

"I know these builds go down as useless inventions, but this is amazing," wrote one commenter. While another said: "David Wallace would be proud."

"Seeing the characters react to the climate we're living in now would be interesting," Merchant tells Newsweek.

"After Life" has come to an end after three incredibly emotional seasons on Netflix. Here's what happened at the end of Ricky Gervais' dark comedy.

"After Life" Season 3 is heading back to Tambury to catch up with Tony, Postman Pat, Emma and more.

Ricky Gervais' "After Life" will be ending after its third season, which comes to Netflix this January.

"After Life" Season 3 will premiere on Netflix on Friday, January 14, almost two years after the second series was released.

The comedian is an outspoken opponent of the cruel recreation sport and has long used his platform to campaign for the practice to be completely banned.

You can be the biggest actor in the world (or even a member of the Royal Family) and still be cut out of a film, as these stories about stars like Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr. and Nicole Kidman show.

With Season 2's ambiguous ending and Gervais' enthusiasm for the show, it could be the comedian's first series to have a third season.

"After Life" Season 2 is coming very soon to Netflix, with six new episodes of the dark comedy coming this April.

"After Life" on Netflix saw Ricky Gervais exploring grief and depression through the character of Tony and his struggles without his wife Lisa.

"After Life" Season 2 is coming this week to Netflix, with Ricky Gervais returning for more episodes as the grief-stricken Tony.

The two were announced Saturday as the hosts for the 2021 Golden Globes. Here are some highlights of the two from past awards shows.

The comedian, who was hosting the award ceremony for the fifth time, was criticized after he attacked celebrities for claiming to be "woke" yet working for companies like Apple, Amazon and Disney.

The British comedian Ricky Gervais hit back as the Golden Globes audience groaned at his Jeffrey Epstein jokes during his fifth hosting of the annual awards show.
