Gervais said, “14 stone.” Because Morgan knew precisely what that was, when most of America did not, he didn’t translate it to pounds. He joked about the old “chunky, chubby Ricky” and then asked Gervais how much he weighed at his highest in the past. But this was easily Morgan’s best night in the chair.Īlthough he might want to watch the Brit speak. Yes, he’s trying to seize on comments and guide the interview, but too often he jumps in and talks over part of the conversation that’s just about to take off in interesting directions. Morgan still tends to interrupt too often - and in all the wrong places. And Morgan came across as less cocky and more likable, which is essential to his success in America. It’s all there.Īll in all, an engaging hour. If you doubt that sentiment, rewatch Extras. A little more honesty right there would have been nice - perhaps joking that it’s nice to have the gravy train still rolling but, come on, keeping it going is a big mistake. And when he talked about Steve Carellstepping away from The Office, it’s revealing that he says the show can go on without him, but whether it should or not is debatable. Gervais seemed a bit annoyed that producers on the American version of The Office leaked his cameo later this season (as David Brent). And, of course, any time he talks about the original Office or Extras or Karl Pilkington, it’s time well spent. Him dissecting his very late rise to fame and how that makes him feel, since he’s always seen himself as the ultimate outsider, also makes for excellent television. Gervais talking about being an atheist and about his longtime love, Jane, was intriguing. Once Morgan - who seems more relaxed as the week goes on - moved past that part, the show picked up. Most went on the record as saying they laughed hard and were happy it wasn’t directed at them. Were some stars offended - sure, but very few of them really cried foul. Did he poke fun at people and did his jabs dig in deep? Sure. In many ways, this “controversy” over Gervais’ performance is manufactured. Perhaps better than all of the screaming headlines and post-show analysis, Gervais understands that most people in Hollywood thought he was funny and most of his fans did, too. Not surprisingly, he doesn’t care what people think of him (and for his part, Morgan poking fun at his ’80s pop days, his weight and his current place in the pecking order of fame didn’t phase Gervais one bit).

Speaking to Sky Sports before the match, Ten Hag stated United needed to utilise a high-pressing system to match Liverpool's intensity, which was why 37-year-old Ronaldo was dropped to the bench. Whilst Dragons' Den investor Steven Bartlett commented: "You owe Erik Ten Hag an apology video." Just like it's Arsenal FC not Aubameyang FC," slammed a third. "We're called Man United FC not Ronaldo FC. HAVE YOUR SAY! Should Cristiano Ronaldo leave Man Utd? Let us know in the comments section below "Sometimes Piers I wish you would stop talking about football and stick to your day job," quipped a second. "Well that went well for you didn’t it Piers." jibed one astute supporter. In an attempt to spare his own blushes, upon the full-time whistle, Morgan tweeted "UPDATE: Arsenal remain top of the Premier League." But football fans hadn't forgotten his earlier forecast and many flooded Twitter to mock his pre-match prediction. However, mystic Morgan's prediction fell flat as United's rapid frontline raced out of the blocks at Old Trafford with Jurgen Klopp's side unable to cope with the quick feet of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga and the Red Devils ran out 2-1 winners.
