morning couldn't get any better it just
did it just did
this might be our favorite guest we get
to have in our studio ricky gervais okay
he's here yes he is and as you know he
co-created the office also the show
afterlife which is the most watched
british comedy of the decade and now
buckle your seatbelts he's out with a
new comedy special on netflix it's
called super nature we can't really go
into much of it because it's not
necessarily morning tv is it is there
any bits that are well a few oh you know
there's some talk about like animals
what's morning
what isn't morning tv friendly these
chairs you know what
no why are we on shiny high chairs so
i'm gonna slide off it's awkward it's
too close it's weird we're in a big
place and we kind of let's see the
little fat guy try and climb up onto the
shiny chair
shall we
make you feel at home we're going to get
your footstool i'm yeah i'm just gonna
keep sliding
don't don't don't so what you walked in
and it was chaos outside yeah because we
had harry styles there were like
thousands of people people sitting in
the street sleeping in the streets to
see them what do you make of ridiculous
waiting in line no something like that i
don't i don't keep it if i go to a shop
or something a restaurant and there's
one person in the queue i'll go oh i'll
come back later
i want things bought to me it's like
sitting down in a comfy chair
that's all i want in life just now
basically that's it yeah that is my yeah
that's my
did you but are you into her i think
cause he's british like a superstar
you'd be into him but are you into harry
well uh yeah he's fine but why do you
think because he's british i'm into him
kind of
we've got as many idiots as you i don't
have to be into everyone
british do i
no
something about it yeah he's very sexy
did you see what he was wearing
i didn't know
i missed that you missed it it was a
onesie like a onesie
yeah that wouldn't suit me that's not
for you okay we gotta ask about pickles
pickles i call the cat pickles right
okay do you call it pickle right well
why why don't we use her name though
what do you mean you
[Laughter]
that was clever casting
do you think it worked
[Applause]
no one even noticed
oh okay how is sorry alex pickle i'm
sorry she's lovely she's um
we uh
there she is oh look at her she is so
gorgeous we lost our last cat ollie at
the beginning of lockdown and we were
gonna uh uh just sort of you know foster
and then after one day
she's just the the most uh docile lovely
loving she comes and sits on us she just
wants attention she's a big lump of love
how sweet that is is her boyfriend still
coming around yeah monty she's got a
gentleman caller who comes around he's a
big but there he is look they just oh
he's right you know you don't ever let
monty in no no no that wouldn't no they
uh no he just has to look at her from
afar it's like romeo and juliet it is it
is he's got we know his name we don't
you know know who owns him he's a
neighborhood cat but it's it's got a
little medallion with his name on it and
it also says um do not feed
so he must go from house to house
we're going to talk about your netflix
special
nature tell us about the name first of
all well super nature for two reasons i
sort of try and debunk the supernatural
i don't believe in anything supernatural
so there's that part of it and also
super nature because i say that nature
is super enough you know it's all about
the the beauty of like existence and
life and the funny side of it where
where do you feel like
most spiritual you say we we have such a
beautiful world as it is now like where
do you see that
uh playing with a an animal or a scene
you know nature
playing with a dog just uh just seeing a
dog happy makes me happy i smile i will
we'll be walking we go for walks every
day me and jane in hampstead heath or
central park just to meet dogs and i
know about 200 dogs by name now and it
sets me up for the day i scrub them i
even carry a stick now like a madman so
they'd like me even more and i give them
a little stick like santa like dogs
yeah by the way your jane is here yeah i
know she's in the back she doesn't like
but we love we love her how long have
you all been together you and j 3 8 yes
38 yeah what do you think's the secret
uh i'm just a great guy
is that all it is that's yeah
can i ask for your i didn't i didn't get
a chance to ask you about this i don't
know if you've been asked about will
smith and chris rock that moment that
happened you you've stood in front of
many audiences uh big audiences awards
showing you how have i not got that
question
how the hell have you not got slapped in
the face ricky gervais well what did you
make of that it was horrible it's
ridiculous paul chris yeah what is one
of these about 130 pounds he made a joke
it wasn't nasty it wasn't derogatory it
was a a a sweet little lame joke i don't
know why i don't know where smith did it
i i don't think he knows why he did it
but it was ludicrous do you think it is
whatever he said and he didn't say
anything bad but whatever he said
uh if you don't like what someone says
violence isn't the answer it was crazy
does it give you pause i mean we also
saw dave chappelle earlier this month be
attacked on stage yeah
well that's that's what happens isn't it
people it's like
people want attention they saw that you
know he got attention and they want some
of it it's crazy yeah sam harris has got
a very um interesting theory that he
thinks that those sort of things are
mock assassinations it's a show of power
it's going look how close i got to you
yeah i'm somebody i'm important and um
but i i carry a hammer now on stage
you should just take the stick with me
exactly yeah yeah
that's my favorite or maybe pickle could
be a protection cat oh is she vicious no
she's never
scratched or bitten even accidentally
she just she's the smartest thing in the
world oh look at her
because i have a cat bernadette and hoda
likes to make fun of cats
because she's not a cat person no i just
wonder if jenna really has a cat i've
never seen it that's a very good point
i'm going to send you proof of life
pharmacist as well
yeah you understand yeah exactly she
just makes up names for people well i
call it pickles i'll do you okay okay
but i call bernie you can call
bernadette whatever you'd like to call
her and i just like what's her name
bernadette i'll call it
oh there you go i like it
