Last night at the Emmy awards lots of celebrities had fun, there was a good times with various after parties continued around LA. The HBO brought the stars of Entourage with Jerry Ferrara hug to girlfriend Jamie-Lynn Sigler as AnnaLynne McCord smiled for the cameras. It was about 80 degrees in L.A and Ricky Gervais told that he put on a tux and sweat his way around the red carpet apologizing for being a hot pale limey.
Ricky Gervais’s comedy is very unique which during the Office, can at times be agonizing. His television series The Office and Extras both are co-written and co-directed with friend and collaborator Stephen Merchant. He has also starred in numerous Hollywood films in leading roles such as Ghost Town and The Invention of Lying.
He created a band, Seona Dancing, they produced 2 singles, but they could not come into the top 40. One of their songs was the bizarrely, which become a big hit in the Philippines, one year after the groups terminate. He made a break through in TV on Channel 4 TV in programmes such as, The 11 ‘O clock show. He had his own chat show “Meet Ricky Gervais”.
