    I love what he said, but he's not much better with exception to him actually having a college education. What he sees, accurately I might add, is that Hollywood is losing people at a remarkable rate... you can see it even in box-office numbers, and horrible numbers of people watching these award shows. Movie's budgets used to be open ended/open checkbook, and now they are budgeting HARD on this stuff outside of Marvel and Disney. The actors are costing all of the people that help make films jobs... most of them are snubbing hollywood work for reality TV and Streaming Service shows... the pay is better anyhow.

    You cannot have the most out-of-touch with reality people condemning their country and talking down to "normal people" and expect to have anyone listen. Ricky knows this. Everyone that does educated political commentary knows this. He is liberal, and he's probably getting sick of this cancel-culture that bows to nonsense that is coming out and being championed by the biggest violators of sexual abuse and exploitation of children. Two of the biggest sex offenders in modern history were some of their best friends, yet they talk to us about how WE need to act? Hollywood is a joke, and they are destroying the liberal agenda. Ricky is trying to support the liberal agenda but knows that Hollywood and Socialist/Progressives are destroying it. I don't blame him for going off on that room full of human waste.

    Kinda came off as a joke to me, since that's what the intentions were to begin with. He wasn't doing a shoot on Hollywood or the actors/actresses there. It was meant to be in jest. He even had a giggle a few times saying "no, I can't read that one" before finishing his joke from his que cards...

    People act like he sat down and blasted people in the audience like he actually meant what he was saying. They are all taking it as one big joke, even if it is true, they don't care.

    The more I'm reading into this, the more I'm seeing you are correct. This was actually more of a "tongue-in-cheek" joke at what normal people would say to these actors, and they were all in on it.
    Actors aren't the only people "playing a role". These political commentary/satirists are as well... most of them don't believe 99% of what they say. Ricky probably went out and had a laugh with them all afterwards...

    More along the lines of Hollywood saying the jokes on you towards the ones that say that stuff about them. They can just laugh it off and make fun of themselves so that whenever someone else says it about them or to them, it won't matter

    The “no I can’t read that one” was in regards to a joke about Judy Dench acting in Cats and licking her hairy vajayjay.

    Ahh. I didn't watch the actual show, nor do I ever. Just day all the hub bub about him ripping them a new on online this morning. Pretty sure he is one of them Hollywooders himself. Highly doubt they would have asked him to host if he was against Hollywood and would actually call them out for what they are. So, jokingly call them out for what they are and it will act as damage control and they can keep on keeping on......

    I don't think for one minute that he was legit calling them out like all the fuss is about. It was all done in jest and they were all apart of it.

    I have quite a few people on my Facebook timeline that honestly believe he legit called them out, as if there weren't any rehearsals are quecards for him to read from. They think he got up there on a hot mic and started blasting Hollywood. Lol.

    He even tweeted not too long ago to remember they are all just jokes....


    Called a few out and all I got in reply was well perception is reality so it's real.

    It was certainly all in jest. He is a comedian after all.

    Funny thing is, that’s how most people feel about Hollywood.

    What’s the old saying - “there’s some truth to every joke”.

    Or it’s funny cause it’s true?

    It wouldn’t be funny or being talked about it if none of this applied. I mean if all of what he said was all false everyone would have been watching what he said going “ what in the world is he talking about????”
