Ricky Gervais makes us wish he were hosting the Oscars, too

For the second year in a row, the Academy Awards will have no host, confirming that the Academy’s attempt to cancel Kevin Hart has permanently backfired. If accepting the hosting gig ensures the woke mob will turn over every stone in your past to paint you as problematic, why would anyone want the job? It’s likely that the Oscars will never gain a host again.

But if anyone can make us miss a specific host, it’s Ricky Gervais. The comedian, fresh off of his expert excoriation of Hollywood during the Golden Globes, took to Twitter to share how he would start his opening monologue if tapped to host the Oscars.
