Will Ricky Gervais Visit American Office?

  Is a merger in store for The Office? Ricky Gervais, the brilliant mind behind the British original, tells TVGuide.com he'd like to appear in NBC's Americanized version.
  
  Gervais even has an idea for how he could appear: as himself, playing struggling actor Andy Melman on HBO's Extras.
  
  "I'd quite like them to maybe be watching an episode of Extras, and Michael Scott comes along and goes, 'This guy is no good. If they ever do a remake, I think I should do that part."
  
  Of course, Gervais and American Office star Steve Carrell worked together before in an Emmys routine about Carrell picking up Gervais' Emmy for Extras. They also appeared in a Saturday Night Live routine about a Japanese version of The Office, though not together.
  
  Gervais spoke to TVGuide.com at the World Premiere of HBO's Ricky Gervais: Out of England — The Stand-up Special at the Paley Center for Media on Thursday. (Watch the video below!) He said he wanted to do a stand-up special for the challenge, and because he felt a little guilty that other comedians have had to do stand-up for 20 years before landing sitcoms.
  
  Gervais wrote, directed and stars in his next project, Nothing But the Truth, which costars 30 Rock's Tina Fey. He calls Fey "the most famous woman in America."
  
  Would you like to see Gervais pop up on The Office? Who do you think he should play?

The Office UK의 주인공 Ricky Gervais가 US판에 출연할 수도 있다고...:)
본인이 출연했던 Extras의 엑스트라 배우 역할.. 이 역할도 꽤나 진상인데.. ㅋㅋ 아무튼 출연하게 된다면 스티브 카렐과 기싸움 한 판 하실듯. 출연 성사됐음 좋겠다!!
HBO에서는 리키 저베이스 스탠딩 코미디 시리즈 방송한다는데.. 장르 안가리고 웬만한 해외 컨텐츠는 너끈하게 소화 가능한 나이지만 스탠딩 코미디 문화는 아직도 이해하기 힘들다 ㅠ_ㅠ 웃음 포인트를 잘 모르겠어.. 무자막으로 달리기도 힘들고.. ㅠ_ㅠ
