Ricky Gervais: Morality Show, Football and Brotherly Bonds With Roy Keane | Stick to Football 59
Video Overview & Insights
Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet.
He bloody loves football! Tell us what you love about Ricky Gervais! 👇
In today’s episode, we’re joined by the one and only Ricky Gervais, who takes centre stage with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright, and Jill Scott for a hilarious and insightful chat about comedy, football, and everything in between.
We kick off with Ricky’s thoughts on veganism and whether he prefers stand-up or TV series before diving into deeper topics like cancel culture, the creation of The Office UK, and his unforgettable collaboration with David Bowie on Extras.
Ricky shares hilarious stories about his early days in a band, his time on the radio, and meeting Karl Pilkington, as well as drawing unexpected parallels with Roy Keane. He also opens up about the heartfelt inspiration behind Afterlife and tackles tough topics like social media toxicity.
Football fans will love hearing about Ricky’s love for the game, while comedy enthusiasts get a behind-the-scenes look at his creative process and his take on the future of sitcoms. And of course, there are plenty of laughs as Ricky pokes fun at Gary’s ad read bloopers and discusses his whiskey ventures.
