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 ❤️”
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.
Ricky Gervais has a cat named Pickle. However, during an interview on Hoda & Jenna, Jenna Bush insisted on calling the kitty Pickles. So, the comedian called her out on it and said, “You can’t just decide to change her name, Gina.”
Then he looked over to Hoda Kotb and said to her, “I love the fact that you replaced the other crazy lady with another crazy lady. That was clever casting.”
That is the thing that I love most about Gervais. He has the ability to make fun of you to your face, and you just laugh along with him because his smile is so contagious.
Ricky Gervais is so brilliant that he can make us laugh and cry in the same breath on his show After Life. It is such a talent that we cannot help but to love him and the show with all of our hearts.
However, he broke our hearts when he announced that the series’ third season will be its last one. But, maybe we can forgive him for that when it starts streaming on Netflix on January 14th.
We don’t know what to expect, but he has said on more than one occasion that his dog does not die. So does that mean that Gervais’ character will join his wife and dad in heaven? We shall find out in a month from today.
