I Got My Start in America at the Golden Globes
In between eating, drinking, visiting folks, arguing with extremist fundamentalists on Twitter and plugging various shows and DVDs, (only the last one of these is absolutely necessary, the first few I do for fun) my main focus of the the last few days and the next few weeks has been the Golden Globes. I’ve written a few jokes, written and recorded the promos and done the press pics. Now I...

Week one hundred and ninety-nine- December...
Back home after a couple of nights with the folks. Walking in the door was like an Ocado delivery - booze, chocolates, toiletries and pyjamas.
All the kids enjoyed their scratch cards. I’m joking. I didn’t get them anything really. I’m joking again. I got them lots but all they really wanted was a visit from their favourite uncle. That’s me. I’m their favourite....

Jason Sudeikis as Ricky Gervais on SNL on the Jason Segel episode.
The sound is a bit better.
Also, here’s a gif:

And so that was Xmas…
Off to Berkshire to spend a couple of days with my entire family. Contracting the norovirus again seems pretty imminent with about 15 little brats crawling all over me. Ha ha. This will surely be reported as my “new celebrity weight loss program for the Golden Globes.” It will certainly counter the effects of constant grazing through all the major...

Week one hundred and ninety-eight - December 2011
“And so this is Christmas, And what have you done?” Actually it doesn’t matter what you’ve done, because I’ll probably get the blame for it. Ha ha. I was all “controversial” again the other day, by suggesting to some lunatic fundamentalist that it wasn’t nice to want gay people to burn in hell. So I ended the year the way I started it. Annoying...

Spent the last few days playing around with ideas for my 3rd (and final) hosting gig at The Golden Globes. It’s going well. Thanks for asking. I would say that there’s nothing too offensive in there, but I honestly thought that last year. So I’m not sure of the rules anymore. Actually I am… There is NO joke that everyone in the world will like so don’t worry about...

Ricky Gervais Wages Twitter Battle With Christian...
The comedian engages with users upset over his views on evolution and religion. Comedian Ricky Gervais is engaged in an ongoing war of the words with Christian fundamentalists offended by his views on creationism and God.
A self-proclaimed atheist, The Officecreator and 2012 Golden Globes host ruffled feathers for portraying himself as Jesus Christ in his “12 Days of Rickmas” PETA...

Week one hundred and ninety-eight - December 2011
Sorry I haven’t been blogging as much this month. I’ll make this a bumper edition. I’ve been busy. In between Xmas shopping with Karl, arguing with extremist fundamentalists on twitter and plugging various shows and DVDs, (only the last one of these is absolutely necessary, the first two I do for fun) my main focus of the the last few days and the next few weeks has been the...

Week one hundred and ninety-seven - December 2011
Did some more Christmas shopping with Karl. I hate shopping. I hate Christmas shopping more. I hated it when I wasn’t famous. I hate it even more now. With Karl it is my favourite thing in the world. Why? Well… 1, He hates it more than me. But 2, We are both stressed but laughing ALL the time. I know this isn’t in the slightest bit funny or even understandable to you but...

Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale
Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale is technically a Christmas special, but other than the box art depicting Ricky Gervais covered in lights with the tagline “Bloody merry,” you’d hardly know it. As with Gervais’ other short-but-sweet British hit, The Office, the ExtrasChristmas special is an addendum to a series that didn’t necessarily need it. It’s an excuse to hang out with the characters...

Week one hundred and ninety-seven - December 2011
I think I experienced the perfect Sunday. I woke up in my favourite hotel suite in my favourite hotel in my favourite city in England, to the sound of Jane saying, “your scrambled eggs will get cold.” Eggs, toast, coffee and orange juice with the sun flooding in through the south facing windows of the Percy Blakeney Suite of The Royal Crescent Hotel, Bath. A walk around the Xmas...

Week one hundred and ninety-six - December 2011
So I went shopping with Karl.
It’s even more fun than the podcasts because he’s also got real life and the public to contend with as well as me. I was buying Jane a posh clutch bag as for her birthday in the Bond Street area. “That’s nice,” I said pointing at a small purse type thing on its own plinth protected by lasers. “Snake skin Sir,” said the...

Week one hundred and ninety-six - December 2011
In case you missed Karl and me on breakfast TV. He was annoyed when he found out that they’d labelled him “comedian.” ha ha. After the interview I got him to record a little message for all his social networking fans. Had a little meeting with NBC about recording some on-air trailers for the Golden Globes. I’ve written about six or seven little tags and we only need a...
