The comedy icon also reflects on his journey from a penniless "mistake" to finding global fame at 40, discussing everything from his failed pop career to the philosophy behind his hit series After Life.

Right on, Ricky 👍 I don’t seek to offend anyone, but it’s not my responsibility to avoid doing so.

one thing about atheists that i always admire is that they are good just for the sake of it without being compelled so by the loss of heaven and pains of hell stuff.

"After Life" is the most brilliant show and I wish I could personally thank Ricky for making it. I have watched the complete series a few times, and I cry like a baby every time. I just love his honesty. ♥♥♥

I love him… he’s unapologetically himself. In today’s society, that means something. I think laughter really is the best medicine. We need it now, more than ever before. ❤

I didn't discover Ricky Gervais until I saw the movie, Ghost Town. He is, by far, one of the funniest comedians in my lifetime (I'm 72). He is, indeed, one of the greats! I can't get enough of him.
