Apparently, I've been living under a rock for years. Why, you ask? Because I knew nothing of Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and most of all, Karl Pilkington. They are the trio who create the magic on The Ricky Gervais Show; the most downloaded podcasts of all time. The Ricky Gervais Show has been downloaded over two hundred-fifty MILLION times. The video here is an introduction to Karl Pilkington.
Now of course, I know who Ricky Gervais is; I'm aware of his show "The Office" and I also am aware of his hosting of the Golden Globes, which quite frankly, I thought was brilliant. But the podcasts, the YouTube videos, the audio-books and Karl...the sweet, round headed buffoon, who in my opinion, is the true star of the show, I really didn't know about.
I've downloaded absolutely every free podcast I could get my hands on, and I even bought the first season of his show on iTunes. I can't wait to get the rest of the seasons - they keep me laughing and completely entertained while I'm behind the wheel.
If you want more of Karl, be sure to check out An Idiot Abroad. He's absolutely priceless.

Do you really watch tv while driving?
Watch TV?? Seriously? No...I listen to it on my iPod! It's a radio show.
You might be referring to the podcasts that were made into a TV show for HBO, but I don't watch them, I just listen to the audio.
Those podcasts are great. Have you seen "Extras"? Was a show they did on HBO a couple of years ago.. Hilarious .
Scott: I haven't seen Extras, but I've been hearing a lot about it as I've been working my way through the podcasts. I may have to check that out too!
