Ricky Gervais: Sequel to UK ‘Office’ will be ‘tragic and sad’

British funnyman Ricky Gervais and Australian actor Eric Bana co-star in “Special Correspondents,” written and directed by Gervais, in which they play play radio station employees sent to cover a foreign coup who get stuck in New York City instead. Gervais tells Savannah Guthrie that Bana, a former stand-up comic, is “an idiot like me.” He also talks about his upcoming movie sequel to the original British version of “The Office,” in which we’ll see how “tragic and sad” David Brent’s life is 15 years later.April 25, 2016
