Were his actions over the top?

Ricky Gervais was the host of last Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards (January 16^th). His performance has been analyzed deeply. Were his actions over the top? Was what he did different than what was expected? Was he objectionable to Hollywood’s stars?

I think first of all you have to remember that Ricky Gervais is a comedian from Britain. Many comedians from Britain have a very dry sense of humor. He is also a writer and a director. Any time I’ve seen him perform comedy he has been very edgy and shocking at times. If the Hollywood stars didn’t like his actions, it is not for us to debate. If the celebrities didn’t like him for being who he is – it is time for a reality check.

When he was hired, the producers of the Golden Globe’s knew his background, so what is the reason over analyzing his actions. He gave them ‘Ricky Gervais’. He was himself – the ‘Ricky Gervais Brand’.

It is the same with you and the work you do. People will buy from you because of how you acted before you met them and how you acted with them. This is all about your brand. Your brand is what you are known by.
