Posted: January 19, 2011 at 2:39 pm   /   Local, Television News

Ricky Gervais is enduring possibly his largest amount of publicity ever with his hilarious, and somewhat controversial (to only the people he made fun of) hosting of the Golden Globes.  So, it only makes sense that a big announcement about him reprising a popular role on a current sitcom would come at a moment like this. Gervais, who is […]

I love Ricky Gervais.  I think he is hilarious.  Yes, maybe his jokes fall flat occassionally, and things are awkward.  But I usually I am laughing non-stop.  So when I heard that he was asked to return to host this year’s Golden Globes, I was ecstatic.  I thought he was great last year, and it […]

The Invention of Lying
