The second season of THE RICKY GERVAIS SHOW, based on the Guinness Book of World Record holding podcast from Gervais, premieres next Friday, January 14, at 9PM on HBO, with another classic episode.  I’m thrilled to offer the chance to check it out today, a whole week early.  Watch the premiere and tell me – will you be tuning in for Season 2?

The Ricky Gervais Show features the voices of Ricky Gervais, his longtime collaborator Stephen Merchant and colleague and friend Karl Pilkington, whose offbeat musings and pointless conversations are the basis of many of the storylines. Topics covered in season two include 21st-century scientific innovations, bizarre medical stories, Ricky’s pet project to “Get Karl Famous” and Karl’s fascination with doppelgangers and twins. Also included are the regular features “Monkey News,” in which Karl describes the role banana-trained monkeys played in early space exploration, and readings from Karl’s diary. Season two of The Ricky Gervais Show premieres on Friday, January 14 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
