Caitlyn Jenner took the high road while responding to the transphobic jokes Ricky Gervais made about her (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/ricky-gervais-offends-golden-globes_568d5068e4b0a2b6fb6e3c3b) during Sunday night's Golden Globes.
Jenner joked about replacing the British comedian for next years' Globes during a Television Critics Association press conference.
"On Ricky, I think what I’m gonna do is call the Golden Globes and see if they need a new host for next year and we'll solve that problem," said Jenner, who was at the conference doing a panel discussion (http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/caitlyn-jenner-responds-to-ricky-gervais-gloden-globes-diss-w161737) for Season 2 of her E! show, "I Am Cait."
The comedian tweeted out his support for Jenner's new hosting gig on Friday morning, while recirculating one of his Golden Globes jokes:
Please, please, please let her host The @goldenglobes (https://twitter.com/goldenglobes). Just don't let her drive.
— Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) January 15, 2016 (https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/687987882989096960)
Gervais struck a nerve with viewers on Sunday, as they found his jokes about Jenner to be pretty offensive.
"But as I said, I'm going to be nice tonight -- I've changed," said Gervais during his opening monologue. "Not as much as Bruce Jenner, obviously. Now Caitlyn Jenner, of course. What a year she's had."
Gervais continued, "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?"
Never one to back down, Gervais tweeted out support (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/ricky-gervais-golden-globes-transphobic_56964d6fe4b09dbb4bad4f5c) for his own jokes on Tuesday.
Suggesting a joke about Caitlin Jenner is automatically transphobic is like suggesting a joke about Bill Cosby is automatically racist.

You have every right to be offended. Just don't cry when no one cares.

I made a joke about Caitlyn Jenner killing someone in her car. I'm #TransportPhobic (https://twitter.com/hashtag/TransportPhobic?src=hash).

Outrage is the comedian's alchemy.

Ugh. We'll see you next year, Caitlyn!
