Ricky Gervais Returns To His ‘Office’ Role As David Brent: It’s ‘Cringe-y’ | TODAY

Ricky Gervais is one of the funniest people around today and always gives a great interview.

Lovable and down to earth person, thats Ricky totally. Nasty jokes but never has been doing anything bad unlike many other stars.

[anthonyalger]

I like Ricky's sense of humor...


Kathy & Hoda look lovely....

[marylee]

I love that he said it was like a queen concert.… Just watch queen and Adam Lambert and James Corden

Sorry but those two women are incredibly annoying. What is it about daytime presenters that they can never let their guests finish a sentence?

[stacylafleur]

Kathy Lee Griffin your hair is so adorable😁👍

[josephlarson]

He's so great! I can't wait.

[darrenporter]

They missed a joke at the start. Should have said 'that guy coming tomorrow, today David Brent'

[romaromina]

I'm glad it  will be soon on  Netflix .

Can’t stand Kathy lee Gifford she’s so condescending and rude and tries to play it off as if it’s a joke but you can tell she’s being serious

[stevencassidy]

do Americans still call england england?? it's united kingdom or Britain?

Shameless plug for some other movie at the end (paid advertisement that looked like part of the conversation), your audience is dumb? Did you pay Ricky or give a discount for the air time? Why were the women so weird, like they were empty inside.
