Ricky Gervais Presents: The World of Karl Pilkington by Karl Pilkington
In this pithy and hilarious book, Karl Pilkington is in conversation with (the often bewildered) Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the writers and stars of The Office and Extras, unwittingly outwitting even those comedy Goliaths as he struggles in vain to make sense of the world around him. Unencumbered by erudition and impervious to logic, Karl ambles down a heuristic path to enlightenment under the edifying influence of Ricky and Steve. His pronouncements on such diverse and contentious topics as population control, simian affairs within human society, the sartorial deliberations of solitary spacemen and how long you can stay alive with your head chopped off, are matched in the vehemence with which they are proposed only by the degree to which they are ill-conceived. Featuring Karl's original illustrations, imaginative scribblings and the best conversations of the world record-breaking Podcasts, The Ricky Gervais Show, this is a unique trip into the world of one of our most innovative thinkers, visionaries and prophets, or as Gervais knows him, the funniest man I've ever met.
Karl Pilkington is a Sony Award-winning, Emmy Award-nominated radio producer, best known for producing and cohosting The Ricky Gervais Show on the radio and later in the form of podcasts and an HBO television show. He is the author of Happyslapped by a Jellyfish, Karlology, and Ricky Gervais Presents: The World of Karl Pilkington. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant revolutionized television with their contemporary comic classic The Office, and later collaborated again on Extras. Gervais's many awards include three Golden Globe Awards and two Emmys, and he was on Time's 2010 list of the world's 100 most influential people.
