Karl is a bottomless well of stupidity, so unlike my other shows The Office and Extras, which I stopped prematurely through fear of going stale and running out of ideas, I want this to run and run like The Simpsons. The world has a new Homer, but this one is real

a putting match between Del Shores and Larry McMurtry refereed by Ricky Gervais.

Channel 4, like HBO in the US, is the perfect home for this show, as they acquire innovative, cutting edge programmes such as Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Sopranos ... Like The Sopranos, Channel 4 made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

There was no pressure. I thought we would fail. Then I heard Steve Carell had pulled out of another project and was the lead and that they weren't going to have a laugh track and Greg Daniels was staying true to Ricky Gervais' vision... then I thought we had a chance.

Ricky Gervais, who is somebody I really like, comedy wise. Sugar Ray Leonard was my sporting idol and my favourite fighter of all time. And I don’t know who my third would be. I suppose I’ll get in trouble if I choose a bird. Okay, Kelly Brooke, because if the conversation wasn’t good there would be som...

The CID man started smirking so I went, 'What?' and he showed me this passport. We were laughing for 10 minutes, all they did was cut out the picture on the first series of The Office DVD.

We never thought a host was necessary. Only when NBC suggested the idea that a host might enhance the show, my response was the only person we would consider for the task would be Ricky Gervais ... And we were lucky to get him.

We are delighted to have Ricky Gervais as the host on our show

I just asked them and they said yes ... The reason people do Extras and things like it is because they think it’s a day off and they’re not counting it as part of their career. It’s fun; and it all came from The Office and winning two Golden Globes. Everything started there.

I have a very small part ... but the minute you hear it's Ricky Gervais on the phone, it's just a case of, 'Tell me when and where to show up.' I didn't even really ask him about the script because I knew it would be good.

Not only is this the biggest Hollywood celebration of the industry, which includes both film and TV, but also an environment where I feel I can get free reign as a host, I have resisted many other offers like this, but there are just some things you don’t turn down.

You have to be really precise. One thing we talk about is: Who's our target? Ricky Gervais has jokes about people with disabilities, but do I think that's a healthy thing? Yes, I really do, because he's chosen his targets very carefully and he's thought about what he's doing.

It has one joke, yes -- it takes place in a world of absolute and constant truth where one man figures out that you can, actually, say things that are not true -- but that joke's so well-executed by co-writers and co-directors Matthew Robinson and Ricky Gervais, with Gervais playing our first liar, that...

This is Ricky Gervais, who is just one of the funniest people around ... I mean, any time he does something, you have to pay attention because he, himself, is so funny and so brilliant.

The thing about the Golden Globes and the Oscars is that they have film stars with their jawlines and chiseled looks ... But in this room, I'm probably above average. Steve Carell is considered handsome [here].

This is the greatest awards ceremony in the world, there's no doubt about that. Definitely, definitely no doubt about that.
