he’s a British comedian that made it big
in America welcome to watchmojo.com
today we’ll be examining the outrageous
comedy career of Ricky Gervais why do
you out under ponds once a small-time
radio broadcaster and the singer in an
ill-fated 80s pop band called Shona
dancing Ricky Gervais has gone on to
become a world-recognized comedian
Gervais began his media career on radio
in the 1990s but he truly got to explore
his comedic urges during his involvement
in the eleven o’clock show in his skits
he took on the refreshingly funny role
of a half knowledgeable bigot they
fought for freedom and so we could walk
together alongside Scott Irishmen
Welshman hmm despite this exposure his
comedic talent went largely unnoticed on
the stand up comedy circuit throughout
the 90s he only truly established his
status as a top UK comedian following
the premiere of his British television
series the office in 2001 I can make
that dream come true too I ki for you
co-written and directed with his friend
Stephen Merchant the concept for the
office became such a runaway hit that it
was adapted in numerous languages and
cultures including the popular American
sitcom starring Steve Carell ah right
here these days high five the series
became an overwhelming success and was
followed by his popular sitcom extras
and his radio series the Ricky Gervais
show you’re listening to wicked ways
with me Stephen Merchant and karl
Pilkington these podcasts want a
guinness world record for being the most
downloaded podcasts of all time the star
power amassed by his television success
allowed him to put on several of his own
stand-up comedy tours in the United
Kingdom many critics gave him
overwhelmingly positive reviews and
applaud him for his willingness to say
what many of us could only think you
know you don’t always have to have anal
sex see I told you however critics also
note that Gervais is too eager too
offend and push the boundaries of taste
past its acceptable limits she went
obesity is a disease no it’s not is it
you just like heating don’t you in
addition to this each tour has become
increasingly labeled as self-indulgent
and ego driven many critics believe that
this is due to a successful entrance
into Hollywood which resulted in small
parts in major box-office hits such as
night at the museum and eventual
starring roles in the comedy films ghost
town how you died I died a little bit
and 2009’s the invention of lying that
was hated you Eva was hated you I didn’t
know that yeah a lot of people know
since becoming an American movie star
and world famous British comedian he has
been given the title of Hollywood’s
hottest Brit proving that success can be
a person’s sexiest attribute well don’t
do that well eat out less people starve
in the world which I height today
audiences continue to be infatuated with
Ricky Gervais rash comedy style and many
wonder if Hollywood will succeed in
