They say they never work with animals and babies in Hollywood because they are unpredictable. However, sometimes, that unpredictableness is a good thing.

Case in point, here is Ricky Gervais working with a German Shepherd who is a big fan of his. How do we know? She couldn’t stop licking him when he was shooting a commercial for his Dutch Barn Vodka.

No one can blame the sweet dog for kissing the comedian. That is because last year, he donated almost $2 million to animal charities all over the world. So the lovable puppy was just showing her appreciation from her and all of his four-legged buddies!

Ricky Gervais’ standup is full of jokes that most people wouldn’t tell for obvious reasons. Yet, most of the time, he can get away with it.

So why does he say offensive things? He wrote, “People think I say offensive things purely for the joy of upsetting people. This is not the case. I do it for the money.”

At least he is honest. But then again, he made a movie about The Invention of Lying. So, who knows?

So many people want to see Ricky Gervais do his thing in person that he became a Guinness World Record Holder because of them.

The comedian made this year’s book for the Highest Gross for a Single Stand-Up Performance. He earned that title when he sold out the Hollywood Bowl on May 6, 2023, and made $1,790,206.50 for the one-night stand.

Gervais said, “As if packing out The Hollywood Bowl wasn’t enough, now Guinness World Records wants to put me in their big book. What a year!”

His Armageddon tour is still going strong. If you missed his record-breaking performance or any of the other shows, don’t worry. Netflix will air his comedy special when the tour concludes.

UPDATE: Ricky Gervais wrote his comment on social media, “When I was little, I’d get the The Guinness Book of Records for xmas every year. The whole family would read it. I think my mum would be prouder of me being in this book than anything else I’ve done ❤️”

Moms, gotta love what impresses them.

Some celebrities get streets named after them in the places where they grew up. However, Ricky Gervais is not like other stars. Therefore, Reading in the UK named a garbage truck after him.

How does Ricky Gerwaste feel about that? He wrote, “Is there any greater honour than your hometown naming a garbage truck after you? 😂”

There really isn’t, and he deserved that title more than anyone im his country.

Congrats to Ricky on getting an honor that fits him perfectly!

Before Ricky Gervais was doing comedy, he was singing in the musical group Seona Dancing on Razzmatazz. How weird is it to see him as a singer back in 1983 when he was just 21 years old? That and he is oddly attractive. I am so used to his ugly bathtub photos that I forgot he could be sexy.
