THIS GUY INVENTED LYING - HONEST

easy, tiger

ricky gervais is the guy who created the hit show the office - in britian

- and then was smart enough to bring it to the states

just like i want to hold your hand, - there's a whole new british invasion

not rock stars, this time it's comics

gervais, russell brand, jimmy car and others are making a big splash

- on this side of the pond

seinfeld is fighting back and setting up dates in britian for next year

but, this new invasion is no laughing matter, it's actually a bit sick

gervais told letterman recently that he comes from a funny family

- always playing jokes on each other, - well not always

but practically always... like even at his own mother's funeral

(well, it does have the word fun in it)

when female family members needed a tissue, he handed some out

- with little phases he'd written on them, like - 'sniveling bitch'

- in his family, he says, being boring was the no-no

ricky was on the daily show the other night

he and jon stewart had a blast bantering back and forth

with their condescending liberal little snickers

- just the two of them, making stuff up...not for the audience

but just for their own entertainment (i can hear my friend now... 'duh')

stewart asked - 'who's time are we really wasting here' [not ours]

ricky was on to promote is new hbo special, -that they hardly mentioned

- out of england 2 - it's gervais' latest comedy forum to sip beer

his humor is quick and dry, shaken and not stirred -

very british & patronizing

he told stewart that while

negotiating a wage for the hbo special their executives reportedly

stated that what gervais' people wanted was too much for television,

ricky's reps responded back... it's not television - it's hbo

well, whatever it was, i feel sorry for hbo and the audience in chicago

you could just feel how uncomfortable they were... as gervais continued

on and on - cussing and discussing such funny subjects as fat people,

pedophilia, giving dying puppies at christmas, how noah's ark couldn't work,

how mean and gay god is - then gave a whole seminar

on animal homosexuality

including pictures from a book that he keep repeating was a 'real book'

all the while sipping on his foster's lager and demonstrating masturbation

- mostly on other men, - one time on 15 at once... it's 'like spinning plates'

in the end however, - during a bit about flying first class post 9/11

- he did redeem himself, because he perfectly exhibited his

multiple personality disorder

HERE'S A LITTLE ON FAT PEOPLE. I COULDN'T SHOW THE ONE ON GAY ANIMALS - JUST TOO SICK

COMING TOMORROW: MARK FORWARD GIVES IN
