Has anyone seen this chat show? it was filmed and aired back in 2000 and I've been watching it on 4od.
It's absolutely hilarious! I never even knew this existed and it's like some kind of holy treasure which has just been given to me from out of nowhere. Gervais rules the shop when he's not even known. The man has balls to match hitler. Praise Gervais.

it's like... funny, yes... entertaining... I WAS SO GLAD I FOUND IT... I DANCED IN THE STREETS!
but the love affair didn't last.
Today I look back at "Meet Ricky Gervais" and think: not satisfactory... in fact: cheesy, awkward, superficial... as a non-brit, I don't even know most of these guests so why should I care??
but OK, gervais is such a lovable fat little puppy that I can't be angry at his plump, wiggly face any longer!

It was a funny show, rough around the edges and sometimes hit-or-miss: overall, very entertaining and interesting to see Gervais just before he hit the big time after The 11 O'Clock Show.

I think I would like Gervais a lot more if I didn't hear a thousand Brits thumping on about what a genius he is in the back of my mind. Way too much adulation to the point of nausea.

That's odd because, despite being British and living in Britain, I haven't heard adulation for Gervais since the days of The Office, some five plus years ago. Most of the people I know haven't watched Extras and aren't fussed by him, and the British Press has been lukewarm toward him for the past couple of years. I guess the thousands of Brits must be ex-pats living in NYC rather than in the UK.

Yep. People in Britain find him pretty irrelevant and a bit one dimensional. How come you have a thousand Brits living in the back of your mind?
