The Ricky Gervais Show

The Ricky Gervais Show is the HBO animated series that takes the podcast which Ricky Gervais starred in with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington, and adds animation to the hilarious audio of the stories which have made it to The Guinness Book of World Records for most downloads. Their friend Karl Pilkington is the primary figure of humor in the show, the round-headed oddball who has many offbeat musings on technology, population control, charity and many other topics which usually inspire the storylines. Ricky and Stephen listen to their friend Karl's outrageous stories, talking about different topics every week, covering subjects like organ donation, school curricula, talking to animals, and childhood nicknames. With recurring features like Monkey News and Karl's Diary, the podcast favorites return in the cartoon. Join the trio as the popular podcast and the hilarious antics of Ricky, Stephen, and Karl come to the screen in the animated HBO comedy The Ricky Gervais Show. MORE
