Today I emailed Ricky Gervais for three reason:
- His podcasts are so funny, you’ll hurt yourself. (Mad props for the recommendation, Da Kine.)
- I was a bit worried he and his cohorts were taking the Cambodian midget/lion hoax a bit too seriously. I’m sure they were going for comedic effect, but I sent them the Snopes link anyway.
- They do Monkey News! I do monkey news, too!!
I’m still trying to figure out if Karl Pilkington (sp.?) is doing a character or if he’s really like that. Ricky’s laughter is so unforced and his anger so real when he declares something the “Bald Manc” said is “bollocks”, that I’m leaning towards the latter.
As am I.
quick, while you can, bbc2 is archivally streaming the ricky gervias xmas eve show here. right hand column under listen again.
Is it wrong of me to be pissed that they are playing music on that show? The podcasts have me spoiled.
