  but surely, Ricky Gervais is climbing the Hollywood ladder. After co-starring in films like Night at the Museum and the upcoming Stardust, Variety reports Gervais has landed a lead role in Early Retirement for Warner Bros. What, did you think he was calling it quits early; hanging up his comedic hat while he was still ahead? I know a

  second season of the Ricky Gervais / Stephen Merchant comedy was better than the first season. Of course, given the high standards set by Gervais and Merchant, that was saying a lot. After watching Season Two, I have to say that I agree with those assessments, but not for the reason that you think.Continue reading Extras: The Complete Second

  Filed under: Video, The OfficeNBC has released a 3-minute promo for the next season of The Office. First of all, it's great to see the cast again and I am now feeling very impatient for season 4 to begin (Sept. 27).The video is like that old elementary school essay: What I Did Last Summer. The cast--supporting and main players--all talk about what

  when both Clooney and Ricky Gervais (who was slated to play Magnum's Brit sidekick Higgins) rejected the film as if it were a cute girl at a bar that's had way too many drinks. If Cage does sign on -- apart from pissing off fans of the original television show starring Tom Selleck -- producers will then look to cast the role of Higgins right

  Truth is a comedy written by Gervais and Matt Robinson that tells of a world where lying is unattainable ... that is, until Gervais comes along. He soon becomes the first person to ever tell a lie and "harnesses its power for personal gain," so says Variety. Hard to imagine, but if anyone can pull it off, it's Gervais.Gervais' voice and delivery

  Filed under: Ask TV Squad, TV Squad Daily, EmmysWell, the Emmys have come and gone and for the most part, I enjoyed the telecast. The non-threatening hosting style of Ryan Seacrest infected the whole telecast with a feeling of safety that only served to make the routines of comedians like Ray Romano and Jon Stewart look more edgy. One of my

  comedian compatriots Ricky Gervais (I bow to The Office) and Steve Coogan (just now getting into It's Alan Partridge and loving it), but he does make me laugh. He's becoming a major player in the states, starring in the new romantic comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run (you can read James' not-quite-a-rave-but-not-quite-a-pan review here), and co-starring

  Nice to see that while he won't take part in something useful like Stephen Fry's HIV documentary, George Michael is happy to turn up in any and all Christmas specials on offer: he's added Extras to Catherine Tate.The Mirror has effectively rendered Michael's appearance pointless, by detailing what he's going to do in the programme in such detail

  Filed under: Industry, Programming, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The OfficeNo, this isn't some programming move to get rid of reality shows (though I think it's worth exploring). It's actually a strategy in case there's a strike in Hollywood. And that strike is looking more and more like it might become a reality. It sounds like hyperbole, I know, but

  Chris Campoli and Bruno Gervais were going to be the first young defensemen in the history of the National Hockey League to get valuable playoff experience, get a year older, wiser, and stronger and come back to be worse players than they were the season before? The Islanders didn't just add two, new assistant coaches, but they met in
