He's everywhere, isn't he? The man named Ricky Gervais is appearing on Piers Morgan Tonight tonight (Thursday night). He just finished up hosting what is perhaps the most talked-about Golden Globes ever (and all thanks to his sharp and offensive wit), The Ricky Gervais Show just started its second season on HBO, and he's even slated to make a cameo appearance in the U.S. version of the show he created, The Office.
Busy man, eh?
Well, despite his ubiquity, Ricky Gervais is a really funny guy. There's nowhere that's more apparent than the Ricky Gervais Show, which I previously reviewed on DVD here. For those of you unaware of the show, which hit DVD back on January 4, here's a synopsis from Warner Bros, who released the set:
From the creators of the smash-hit series The Office and Extras and based on the original record-breaking podcasts, comes the new animated comedy series, The Ricky Gervais Show. The series is an animated version of the original podcasts that earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most downloads. It is voiced by Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and colleague and friend Karl Pilkington whose offbeat musings inspire many of the storylines which include the merits of 20th century inventions; Karl's suggestion for population control; how philosophy has evolved through the ages and not forgetting Karl's perfectly round head!
