@rahulkemp8347

4 жыл бұрын

correct! no reuinon on the cards?

Steve is a very gracious man. If you go back to the beginning of his collaboration with Ricky through to today, he's been the soul of discretion and goodwill with regard to Ricky. Here he sits calmly while Ricky omits the fact that Steve returned the XFM quasi-favour by getting them in the door at the BBC. That's the least of it. If you saw Ricky on a talk show and didn't know better, you'd swear that The Office and Extras were his and his alone. He has spent the better part of a decade trying to revise Steve out of the picture.

I love his laugh, but I love Karl scratching his arm hair throughout a lot of the interview, totally unaware of television protocol body language. What a hoot.

He wasn't making big bucks at the start, I just dont think he really cares atall what people around him think of him which I envy so much. I remember one time during XFM S2 he said he was fed up but that was only because Gervais kept squeezing his head, otherwise he isn't bothered

haha Karl's face when he's listening is just amazing (-ly idiotic but hilarious)

Gervais in a bulletproof vest. Comedy is dangerous, kids.

Love Stephen's look whever he makes Ricky laugh. _I've done it._

Karl seems so genuine. The story of not caring for the show, but the occasion his mother made of it was what he enjoyed. I found that touching. Ricky, in usual fashion, tried to find something exploitative to get a laugh, but Karl is above such undignified tomfoolery.
