Don't like Gervais, I can never tell whether his intolerable air of smugness is a character he's playing or his real self.Stormbringer wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2019 3:47 pmCelebrity comedians.
People like Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand et al, and how they seem to transform over the course of a couple of decades from "people who tell jokes on TV" to "experts on everything" who seem to weigh in on debates about any subject, appear as special guests on almost any TV show -- sometimes even getting cameos in films -- and whose non-academic opinion seems to carry far more weight than it should.
I suspect it's the latter.
