Ricky Gervais, pictured here when he was the lesbian singer for a boy band in the 80s, recently held an interview with the Sun Times to talk about his new kids book, his movie The Invention of Lying, hosting the Golden Globes, and about his all around awesomeness. During this interview Ricky divulged his desire to write a drama for, get this, US telly.

"I would like to write a show for US TV because there's different ambitions. They're coming out with the best comedy and drama the world has ever seen at the moment," he stated obviously having never seen Two and a Half Men or Private Practice.  

"I'd probably like to do something like Dexter. It's great, really different and dramatic but funny too. We're nowhere near quality like that in the UK. Damages is another great US show...nowhere near it.

"And they've got comedies like Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm."

I'll give him those last 2 but in all honesty there is not a whole lot for the man who created The Office and Extras to be jealous of other than Jersey Shore of course. Maybe he's just kissing ass so American producers will take notice, but it really seems as if he's demeaning his previous work. Regardless I look forward to seeing the drama Ricky G plans to bring us in the near future.
