Week one hundred and fifty-one
Now back to less serious stuff. Comment of the day on The Wall Street Journal website. They are all funny, but If you don’t laugh out loud at number 3 in the following list you have no sense of humour. Ready?…………

Week one hundred and fifty-one
Started writing some jokes for The Golden Globes. (You’ll be the judge of that.) Really looking forward to it this year. I’ll do a bit of promo that week too for The Ricky Gervais Show Season 2 and film a cameo for The Muppet Movie. Please spread the word across your lovely country they call America that you can now own The Complete First Season of The Ricky Gervais Show on DVD. ...

Week one hundred and fifty-one
Hope you had a good Christmas. Now let’s discuss the terms “Hope”, “Good” and “Christmas”. The comments page is still growing on the Wall Street Journal website . Rational people continue to come out of the wood work and warm my heart. There are also many polite, liberal believers who understand that being good is not related to believing in a...

Ricky: "You look like Dave Hill from Slade" is what you said to the poor woman. And talked about it on air, she was furious about that.
Karl: She wasn't happy.
Ricky: So this is probably annoying her now then?
Karl: No we can do a lot today 'cause she's at work.
Ricky: Of course no one is going to tell her...
Karl: Let's have a chat about her fat arse.

Week one hundred and fifty
Did some last minute Christmas shopping, then watched the Alistair Sim version of A Christmas Carol. Surely the greatest story ever told. A wonderful message for any time of year. There were also nice messages left on The Wall Street Journal website following my essay and Q and A. (And some not so nice ones obviously.) But whether you agree or disagree thanks for reading. A special thank...

Does God Exist? Ricky Gervais Takes Your Questions
In your piece you write, that “Science is humble. It knows what it knows and it knows what it doesn’t know.” In fact, mainstream scientific thought has sometimes been wrong, and it is constantly changing and revising itself. So how can you be so sure that science supports your belief that God does not exist?
Ricky Gervais: Science doesn’t concern itself with the non-existence of something....

Review of Steve at the Stag Sevenoak →
“He set about explaining, sometimes in excruciating and meticulous detail, how he longed for a wife - and then set out his rules as to how she should behave if she wanted a bit of ‘Steve love’.”

Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais on awards shows,...
Now that you’re a seasoned awards presenter, do you have any advice for Oscar hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway? They’re braver then me. The Oscars you’ve got to rehearse. When they said, “Will you host the Globes?” I said, “can I just turn up and do my own thing and not have a lot of cues?” And they went “yep.” And I went “fine.” So that’s my kind of job. For the Oscars, I’d have to learn...
