The Ricky Gervais Show

The Ricky Gervais Show is an animated program currently airing on HBO. It adapts portions of popular podcasts and audiobooks featuring Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington. Regular features on the show include Monkey News, questions from listeners and seeing whether or not Karl understands popular phrases. The true star of the show would have to be Pilkington, with his nonsensical stories about monkeys and his dimwitted responses to simple questions. Gervais and Merchant's treatment of Pilkington would almost be considered cruel if it weren't so funny.

You might want to catch this weekends "The Graham Norton Show." Graham skewers Ricky, Stephen, and Christina Ricci.

Neither have I. Nor have I seen any of Gervais' movies. But apparently I'm not missing anything by not having seen his movies.
