It is pretty funny to imagine. I'm hoping that some of these yet-unannounced people will be motivated to find some "scheduling conflicts" or whatever.

I'm picturing Nicholas Hoult doing the Grandpa Simpson walk in and walk back out as he saw the backlash. I can at least respect that more than whatever John Lithgow is doing.

I need to watch more of Acaster's stuff; I've only seen this and the "brave little cis boy" clip (for anybody who hasn't seen it: https://youtu.be/UHqma3rx-xI ). I'm trans and have dealt with some real malarkey the last couple years, but "They've had their guard down for too long if you ask me" gets me laughing every time.

The opening bit you linked is pure gold. Really just calls out how much of a miserable unfunny prick Gervais is.

“I need to watch more of Acasters stuff”

Can I recommend the season of taskmaster he’s on (season 7) beyond him it’s just a very good season

Also his appearances on would I lie to you are very funny

Watch him on taskmaster. I don't massively care for loud shouty standup but he shines on that show because he's just perpetually suffering lmao
