Some of my favorite shows are Ricky Gervais' 'Extras' and 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.'
When they asked me, 'Do you want to work on Ricky Gervais' new series?' did I say, 'Hang on, I'll have a think about that. I'm very busy at the moment. I've got to do a gig above a pub for 10 quid tonight?' Of course I didn't! I said, 'Yes, please! It's the new Ricky Gervais show, for God's sake!'
I would love to be on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' I'd love to be on that. A lot of my favorite shows get canceled really early on. I liked 'Twin Peaks.' If I had a time machine I'd be in that.
I love 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'Extras' and also 'The Trip.' That had all the nuances of friendship and finding things out about their lives without it being too much plot-driven.
You look at shows like The Simpsons or Larry Sanders or Curb Your Enthusiasm or Seinfeld, they're really sophisticated shows that we all love back home.
Curb Your Enthusiasm set me up so perfectly. That was one of my favorite shows before I got on it. That started a whole different level of a story for me. I didn't know how to process it until after I got on the show and realized what the purpose of it was.
I love, I absolutely, love the Office and Curb your Enthusiasm. Those are just classic shows.
Ricky Gervais is a genius.
They are cheaper to make and easier to do; you can just cram in loads of talent into a format that works and works. But if you look back, a lot of people we love today like French and Saunders, Ricky Gervais and Steve Coogan, all started in sketch shows.
I've always wanted to work with Ricky Gervais.
I'm a pretty big Ricky Gervais fan.
With Ricky Gervais, it's all shades of wrong, it's my kind of humor.
On 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' it takes almost a year to get 10 shows written. It always reminds me of my old yeshiva days, where you used to sit over a piece of Talmud and analyze everything that was going on.
If I had signed my fourth season of SNL, I wouldn't have ever had the opportunity to do Curb Your Enthusiasm. If my buddy OG Pearson wouldn't have passed away, I wouldn't have been in L.A. for his memorial, and I would've never auditioned for Curb.
Ricky Gervais, met him a couple times. He wouldn't remember it.
I'll watch Ricky Gervais in anything he does. The guy's hilarious.
I noticed recently, in the last few shows I did, that I'm starting to get people - not a large group, but quite a few people - who come to see me because they love Curb Your Enthusiasm.
