Ricky Gervais Has Jokes For Every Occasion! | Friday Night With Jonathan Ross

[@GnrMilligan]

You can tell Ricky and Jonathan are really good friends. And that chemistry just makes their comedy something unique and special.

[@MT-UK]

They go way back too, I remember listening to one of the XFM broadcasts and Jonathan came in the studio during a song and apparently flashed his … well 🍆… they always seem to get on so easily when they’re together

[@offrampc]

Aside from the fact that Gervais is hilarious, he truly enjoys good comedy himself even if it is his own roast. 4:11 is an example. Gervais: "I am never doing this show again." Ross: "I will hold you to that." Look at that laugh. For him, a good joke is a good joke, even if it is his own roast. Other examples are his interviews with Letterman.

It really isn't. It's poorly written, forced, overly sentimental, clichéd and often unfunny. Derek was similarly poor. These shows are nowhere near the league of The Office or Extras. Ricky's work quality and writing has significantly declined since parting ways with Stephen Merchant.
