The comedian said that he didn't spend much time preparing for the emcee gig. "I don't rehearse or anything like that, but I do have to show it to a lawyer just to make sure that I don't break the law or libel anyone or break taste and decency," Gervais explained of the jokes he wrote for the show. "And I never have. I've always read it to a lawyer an hour before and they’ve gone, 'Yeah, that's fine.
The lawyers took issue with the use of the word "minge," though Gervais explained that it's a "cute" British term. "It's not offensive at all. It's not a swear word," he said. "They went, 'Oh, okay.' And then one of them looked it up and said, 'It says vulgar term for vagina."' The group went through all of the words Gervais could use instead of "minge." He added, "All I'm trying to do is get them not to bleep it, 'cause it sort of ruins it. So I persuaded them that 'minge' was fine, okay?"
