Ricky Gervais was on stage for less than five minutes but seemed to out shine the show's host, Jimmy Fallon.

It seems that Ricky Gervais, literally cannot help himself. He caused controversy as the host of the Golden Globe Awards, commenting on the audience's impeccable plastic surgery and Angelina Jolie's adoption history and on Sunday he brought his slightly toned down comedy to the Emmy's stage.

Gervais, "The Office" creator, was presenting the award for Director and Series in the Variety, Music or Comedy Series category but before he did he added a little bit of his world famous humor.

It was quite hilarious how many stars he got to comment on in just a few seconds. He then went on to have a go at Mel Gibson. He said "I’m not gonna have a go at him. He’s been through a lot. [Pause] Not as much as the Jews.”

He also commented on the fact that he could say what he liked at the Golden Globe as the audience were all drunk and criticized the no alcohol policy of the Emmys. He then offered the entire audience a beer with waiters handing beers out to the stars.

This is just a sneak preview of what's in store when he presents the 2011 Golden Globes in January.

Ricky Gervais...not as funny in real life as he is in his own head. Furthermore, he's no kind of member of society. He's just a clown..and that's fine when you need a laugh. But I don't think He understands that is all he is. The fact is that it is all he is. Now he thinks he's Funnier Than John Stewart. I suppose Ricky thinks he's funnier that anyone in history, as well? I think RIcky needs to Join a circus, and keep his stupid mouth shut about other celebrities who do more for society than he could ever dream of!

Fantastically FUN gig!!! I was a beer waiter on the EMMY's. When I'm not doing that I'm directing Irish theatre at the Gaiety or Liberty Hall in Dublin, the Irish Arts Center in NYC, or the Celtic Arts Center in LA!!!
